I mean what do they do? Tattoo Lisbon where your chin is and Porto between the eyes; therefore your mouth is the Tagus - is that face mapping??
Have you sold your house yet??

I didnt for one minute mean you in my comments, but I must admit I am shattered because I thought you were 8 Stone 1lb. It just goes to show how wrong one can be.
Do you think Ged has finished lunch yet?? It's that splash of whisky in the expresso coffee that worries me.
Do you know the difference between a weasel and a stoat?

A weasel is weasily distinguishable whereby a stoat is stoatally different.

A bloke from Lisbon opened up a bakery about 45 minutes from me the other day. I daren't go near it, as I know for a fact, that I'll land up putting on 50 lbs!

Didnt reply yesterday - was in conference with the grape. I did watch England,s assortment of overpriced luminaries failing to impress, and a referee who was so mentally challenged that if his brain was transplanted into a crow, the bloody thing would fly backwards.
Caw! that was a good one.
Question: Do you have ebay in Portugal and if so is it the US or Uk site or is there a European one??

I wish something like that would open near me, but I fear it would be too much of a culture shock for the local fish and chip brigade.
By the way Tourist, what is that Portuguese bread called - the one with olives in and all that??

Hi Cleri
Pardon my naivety, but if anybody in Europe wants to buy or sell items they can only use ebay US or Uk, so why dont I see any Euro cities when I browse ebay.
Complications sending cash for items bought or receiving for items sold?? Which is the greater?

Good point,I really dont know,maybe there is a secret e bay lurking in Europe that I havent discovered.
You can register for paypal in Spain so there must be a need for it,typical that Portugal is behind the times there.
I have given up trying to sell anything because i couldnt change my paypal details.The last time I bought something,I got a Uk friend to pay for it on her paypal,and then sent her a cheque (what a pain) so I have pretty much given up on it now

You are right - thankyou! I was trying to search for ebay countries on Yahoo with no success at all - Google no problem. What a clever girl you are.
