Now I'm thinking I may have transferred to Buenos Aires a flash-memory made during a visit to Cordoba city. I remember passing through an unfamiliar part of the city/a city and only saw the scene for a few seconds. Poring over websites built by trolleybus nurds it seems there used to be eight...

Apart from the historic trams which run on rails, I'm sure I've seen trolley-buses which run on the road on rubber tyres but pick up their electricity from overhead cables. I think they are only in one part of the city but I can't remember where I've seen them!

(Requested by @steveinbsas at the end of https://baexpats.org/threads/is-there-a-way-to-get-citizenship-faster-than-having-to-wait-2-years-with-perm-residency.50182/post-472204 ) Steve, I love the AI searches you've done on yourself and on my BAExpats identity. Let me assure you that the...

@steveinbsas - do you fact-check the Google AI answers that you post or are the answers you offer strictly on a caveat emptor basis? I think AI is fine as an assistant where the human is the expert and can be expected to spot inconsistencies but not so hot if it is to be relied on as the expert...

What's more - and particularly in women's clothes - some manufacturers are persistently inflating clothing sizes to boost the sense of well-being amongst their shoppers. "Look, Gary! I still fit into a size sixteen!"

https://inews.co.uk/news/world/trumps-favourite-populist-followed-playbook-now-gone-wrong-4410501 It's quite a long read and contains nothing that we haven't heard before. But maybe readers of the I Paper haven't heard it before?

Don't knock it! There was a time back in the UK when this would have seemed positively adventurous. I remember, many years ago while visiting the Netherlands discovering that, unlike the British cheese sandwich or the British ham sandwich, the Dutch were doing crazy things like putting ham AND...

The obituary in the New York Times is headed by a rather nice piece of archive film which doesn't come across in the archive version. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/arts/dance/maria-nieves-rego-dead.html https://archive.ph/EI8He Her death was the final item featured in the BBC Radio...

Unwittingly, we may not even be comparing like-with-like which is further to the detriment of the Argentine made vehicle. Almost exactly one year ago (May 8th last year but- hey- who's counting?) I told the tale of buying a brand new, latest model car... ...which wasn't...

I sympathise! I think we are advised to avoid "Ultra-processed" food rather than just "processed" food since more or less everything is "processed" before we eat it. Chopping vegetables is processing them. I believe food is now classified as whole/natural/whatever (fresh fruit & veg etc)...

EQDSO* prefers Tregar over Finlandia but in my opinion the latter is closest to Philadelphia in taste and texture of all the mainstream brands. *Ella Que Debe Ser ....etc. Readers of John Mortimer will understand.

I think @HenryNisental 's suggestions are a really good jumping off point for any newbies wondering where to live, as are @Ries ' and of course the answer to any questions whatsoever is - go take a look for yourself. I like San Miguel de Tucuman but my other half doesn't; we both like Juyjuy...

Not so surprising, in my opinion. The Washington Post hasn't been the paper of Woodward and Bernstein for some considerable time and since 2024 has been accelerating towards the situation where in February last year, it's owner publicly stated that the paper would be writing in support and...

Don't forget that Cheddar is no longer a regional cheese but a process: cheddaring, which is common to other varieties too. For instance, Red Leicester is made using the cheddaring process. So as well as the La Suerte brand that people like, you stand a very good chance of finding a "cheddared"...

"The Man Who Gave Me A Biscuit" has got to be in the running to be the most uninspiring book title of the year, if not the century but don't click away to the next article just yet! Penny Woolcock's book - subtitled "Love and Death in Argentina" is her autobiography about growing up in Buenos...

In my opinion, what makes it so hard are the money they spend in product development means their products often are genuinely better than the competition and that in some markets there is no competition
