What a selection! Thank you @steveinbsas for taking the trouble to make that list and then share it. No. 30a, Running on Empty by Jackson Browne is an amazing song from a groundbreaking album though my absolute favourites from that are the last two tracks The Load Out/Stay which run into each...

Wot @steveinbsas sed - in spades. Most families have tales of being ripped off or of attempted ripoffery by estate agents here. I'm sorry for your loss @steveo. Did your relative have any particular personal friends here who might be willing handle some of the things that will need doing here...

@jantango has written extensively about her battles over her building: if you haven't done so already, you might find browsing her messages useful. What do your building regulations say? Anything about temporary rentals may be in the section about drug dealing and prostitution and if it is...

Not the roof but the one time we went mid week for afternoon tea at the Alvear, every table was taken.

What's the situation now with Amazon's Project Kuiper? Wasn't it supposed to be available in Argentina and Chile? My sister is in another southern hemisphere country where the existing satellite providing her internet services is on the verge of falling out of the sky and she's looking at...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Health_Insurance_Card Cover is still available in the UK for people from the EU and the new UK GHIC card is recognised for UK residents visiting the EU - see further down the Wikipedia article. If you are still eligble for health care in your home country...

IAWTP and will continue to AWTP until 12th October this year when the new entry requirements to the EU for people from third countries start to be implemented. Some people say that possession of an EHIC (now GHIC) will be sufficient to meet the new European health requirement but to the best of...

180 days as @TimeTraveler said. You might want to write the actual dates down and study them visually to see that there are no accidental overlaps. I've made a crude slide rule out of cardboard to help with the rolling date calculations! Visiting friends and family is an absolutely okay thing...

A follow-up article in the Guardian today explains, amongst other things, why European Art Detectives were looking at those Argentine property listings. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/06/18th-century-portrait-stolen-by-nazis-recovered-in-argentina

That got me searching. Amazingly, Argentina seems to be in a possible majority of countries which still have a telegram service. Who knew that?

Tell her to look at the signature line in any of the posts by @nikad I don't think anybody has had a bad word to say for that firm

No offence taken. I read as widely as possible and out of my comfort zone just so that I don't disappear down a rabbit hole of my own opinions. I call the Telegraph bellicose because they have a number of ex-military types who write for them and seem to find a great fascination in the minutea...

Personally, I would choose UBA, University of Buenos Aires. It's dependable, visible and the language school is fully accredited. What ever school you choose, if your citizenship is Emirati, make sure your course is fully recognised.

That shouldn't have happened to any cheese: that's bad storage, bad hygene or both and ought to be reported. The thing is that cheddar isn't a PDO cheese and can be made anywhere in the world with almost any variation in colour, quality and taste: cheddaring is just a cheese-making process used...

From the bellicose Daily Telegraph, of course: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08/31/argentina-plan-massacre-hundreds-britons-eve-falklands-war/ Archived version: https://archive.ph/OGqKH

Good for you. It's not just the commission you pay: restaurants and other outlets are having a hard enough time financially without losing up to 35% (the amount varies) in commission to a third party app. Some businesses still keep their delivery service in-house - we often see the familiar face...

Or d)... ...You think they are working for you but in reality they are working for somebody else. This has happened within our family's experience and I understand it's not that uncommon.

I agree with @nikad (I usually do!) Some years ago, I consulted a local lawyer, long since gone on to other things, who used to post here as @Attorney in BA and received the same advice as @nikad has just given you. I don't think they have changed such an important piece of legislation while...

A very similar version of this story, in English, appeared in The Daily Telegraph yesterday: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/08/25/nazi-looted-art-discovered-80-years-real-estate-advert/ Archived version: https://archive.ph/J5bCs
