What can I say gang? :) It was a wonderful Walpurgisnacht - home made mead and a good night - but at 3am I'm thinking its time for me to head off to sleep :) A good night to all :)

I just got this from one of the email lists I am on - I'm not sure what things are like for ex-servicemen in the US/Canada/etc. but this is an example from Australia... The wording shows that the writer is fairly angry - but I think I would be too...

What can I say guys? We are now 90 minutes into ANZAC DAY and when I logged into BAExpats the only new thread I spotted was one for ''gay fun clubs'' or something... :( Um - for all the Aussies out there - IS there any plan for celebrating ANZAC DAY? (i.e. remembering our war heroes/etc...)...

Okay guys - here it is... I've just realized its a long weekend - and that most shops will be closed... NOW - birthday for my girlfriend is tomorrow and what I need to still manage is this: 1. Present (main one) is still not bought (hoping to get her some really good boots) 2. Need shisha...

Greetings all, My girlfriend/future wife who now lives with me in Belgrano is looking at getting back into business doing what she used to do in the past: - making cakes/pastries, - catering for small/private dinners, - making wedding cakes, - etc. One idea I had - knowing that she has so...

Hi all, Since my dad was born in Ireland and I have irish relatives all over the place I thought it would probably make sense that I suggest a bit of a get together for drinks tomorrow night... I'm thinking Kilkenny myself - both the bar - and the drink (if its on tap)... If anyone is...

Hey all, I know I've asked about this before - but does anyone have recommendations for a good place for Spanish lessons in Belgrano ? At the moment my shifts are pretty good - I have all my nights free now so somewhere with early evening classes would be good :) Johnno. PS I am an absolute...

Hi all, Not really looking for ''everything'' - but to start somewhere I can buy a good small computer desk and chair and other household stuff like that would be good... Hoping to get out shopping shortly and find a few bits and pieces I can bring back by taxi if possible (i.e. do it...

Hey all, I'll be down next week - and I'm wondering if anyone has an elliptical cross trainer they are no longer using and would be prepared to sell? Once I get down I'd like to get on my health kick again and for me this machine just seems to get the best results... I'll be in Belgrano and...

Okay guys, I'll be down there in two weeks and one of the first things I think I need to do as sort of a new year's resolution (although I don't believe in them) is to get back into some sort of training again... Apart from the x trainer the only other thing I ever really stuck at was...

Hey all, I urgently need a Despachante de Aduana to help me with boxes of mine being held in eseiza - on the paperwork I sent I put the name of my girlfriend and I put that the contents are ''personal effects'' - and the problem now is that my girlfriend went to the airport and they refused to...

Hi all, I hope someone out there who is super tech savvy can help me out here... I have a simple problem - but I'm not sure if the solution will be easy... Basically - I'll be down in BA in a couple of months - I have my portable skype phone number and the boss here in Oz is happy for me to...

Hey all, I will be living in Belgrano as of February and although I have made a few half hearted attempts to work on my Spanish over the last few months I know I need to push myself to get into a night time Spanish class or something like that as soon as I get there... Is there anything...

Greetings all, Here I am with yet another stupid question :) I spent 2 weeks in Recoleta earlier in the year and now I can't for the life of me REMEMBER if I used an AC adaptor convertor for my Australian laptop/mobile phone/etc or not - I took a powerboard down with me (with Australian...

Okay guys - yet another question :) I now have an Aussie phone number associated with my skype account - and an unlimited account for calling back to Oz as much as I want - IF the call quality from BA is good enough I will be able to do my job here (Perth) from Buenos Aires - and basically...

Hi all, In a few months I'll be catching the plane back down to BA and I am still way behind with everything :) lol One thing I need to get organised now is the firearms I want to export out of Australia and bring with me to Argentina... Does anyone on the board have any experience with the...

Okay guys, I have a bit of a strange question for you here :) IS there such a thing as an English language psychic helpline (phone based service) in Buenos Aires ? Okay - there is a second question here too - how do you think a service like this would do ? (i.e. is there a demand for it?)...

Okay guys - a quick question for those of you living in (or who have lived in) San Telmo... How did you find it ? Overall feedback and particular pros and cons would be good... Myself and my lady (who is down there) have our hearts set on an apartment in this area - I know its very 'touristy'...

Okay gang - a subject near and dear to my heart :) I will be back down in BA early next year - making the permanent move - and I *do* enjoy my mead - in Australia we get the real stuff - but the closest thing to it I have found down there so far is this Hidromiel - which really isn't the same...
