I've done similar three years ago and used my then current but tatty "old fashioned" UK licence - not the modern EU one - and this was accepted by the Hire Company. I think it was Avis certainly one of the international ones at Montevideo airport not local. If you like architecture/wacky...

Back to the thread. Madrid at the moment is not as lively as previously - which I saw the last time I was there last February. I'd say the explanation is due to the economic crisis plus the political uncertainty. I saw Puerto del Sol and Plaza Santa Anna - one of the places in Europe I'd...

Well BANG :P to whoever said it first and subsequently repeated that qualified and experienced TEFL teachers who have proper certificates are not "teachers" I think it may be useful to examine all this a little more closely. As you mentioned your time at the Uni of Khartoum (what an...

Qualified and experienced TEFL teachers who have proper certificates e.g CELTA and not ones from Mickey Mouse Academy are "REAL TEACHERS" by any definition. Have you got that??????!!!!! Good

I'm hoping Ceviche is going cos I think I will recognise

Not your house in Buenos Aires? :) Yes I have heard of an open cast mine as it happens. Before writing I did look up via Google when the mines in the NE closed out of interest and because I didnt have the information and it is news to me that were any OC coal mines in the North East - only...

oops sorry I was watching the match from Estadio Malvinas and not concentrating. No I havnt seen the film yet. Maybe others who correspond on this site and have first hand knowledge on this point can assist. I know there is at least one - but it is a sensitive issue. There were more...

Fine! Plenty of room for disagreement I'm talking about what Portenos friends have told me. I cant send you a link to them! but perhaps you can send the link Un Cuento Chino to me to improve my understanding! :)

Yes the Malvinas/Falklands thing is alive down there - that is my take. A lot of the conscripts who had a bad time from the whole thing came from small places in Patagonia (and the NW) and not Buenos Aries as I understand.These grudges extend even more against Chile both for the assistance to...

Well that's a disappointing response but I have to say one I've never experienced yet. Indeed I have been rather surprised by the number of Argentine people who have stopped me whilst walking in the street - including a number is cars who have stopped - and have asked me for directions. The...

France because they can Wales cos they play the beautiful game and no one least of all them knows when that will happen Ireland cos they are devils at "home" and neither France nor England can live with that England cos the wheels fall off - 'tis inevitable Italy cos they are improving Scotland...

Young Manu was busy enough in beating the Kiwi defensive line and popping over. Jonathan Davis has him in the British and Welsh Lions Team to go to Oz. But my Irish friend you are right I should be careful using the term "top centre" in the land of the world's top centre Felipe Contepomi. But...

Yep nothing more irritating - being interrupted whilst telling other people all about how important you are and then having to listen to someone else who doesn't seem to agree :lol:

Not having a top centre like Manu Tuilagi available will make a difference What's wrong with pushing the line to the limit - that's what I saw at the beginning of December! :D

I got up early to watch the dwarf throwers v the Blacks on 1st Dec. Watch and weep. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiQur_Rehnc Still trying to recover my equilibrium. Of course it rarely happens again like that - which is what makes Rugby Union a great game

All this talk about fraternal convivialities and pic-nics and what sorts it occurs to me that no one has yet come up with an appropriately jolly but apt music rendition that best sums up the happy community that we all know we are I havn't a definitive on this but the following is a good start...

So it was the fault of the ARMY!! "Sabotage is the cause" ..... forgetting to shut the (presumably) water tight doors http://www.argentinaindependent.com/currentaffairs/puricelli-confirms-sabotage-as-cause-for-warship-sinking/ What do they teach now in Army Basic Training? And the cause of...

LAM = good but not to be confused with TAM = bad That little charmer of an Airline Stewardess is trying for promotion - next Argentine Ambassador? http://en.mercopress...g-was-venezuela Actually the worst Flight Attendants I've experienced are Iberia Dont forget to rate your experience on...

I'm from London so I don't usually socialise B) Sitting down with a Manc would inevitably mean football talk and that gets me mad since the Blue Flag ain't flying high :( but if I can bring my Oxymoron then ok ps1 Belgrano Barbarians Cricket Club are looking for ex pat cricket players...
