Re: Looking for new friends...

And here I have to admit my ignorance: although I heard about Rotary Club before, I am afraid I really don't know nothing about it... of course I can Google it and will do, but if you can summarize...

Re: The internet in Portugal

It wasn't of my knowledge that there were still some spots in the country with no DSL coverage. Actually I know people in some remote locations and I figured out if the end of the world has it, then...

Re: The internet in Portugal

Well... I'm an Internet professional. I've been working with the Big Net since the beginning, back in the early 90's. And I wouldn't even consider satellite. Only if for some reason I was living in...

Re: Desperatly looking for a filipina maid !

Re: Algarve earthquake tremor

Perhaps "Fix-a-Leak". But it was a few years ago, can't say for sure. I think it cost about 100 Eur, which may sound a little pricey for a small bottle with a liquid but the fact is it saved my...

Re: Algarve earthquake tremor

Geez. Last time we had a damaging earthquake was in 1966, I think. Before that... well... 1777? And this is a reason to add earthquake insurance? :-)

Just a quick note about Cantina dos Sabores to point out two problems with this place:

1) They only have a few options in the menu and often half of them are over by 20:00 or so.

2) It's always...
