We are not surrounded by half completed and now abandoned building sites, and we have NEVER felt unsafe here, despite what the tabloids would have us believe. I hven't been the target of pickpockets, which I was several time in Spain, although none of them got anything from me.

All in all, although we liked living in Spain, we are far happier here.

Maybe they are not as happy as they want others to think.....Um

I know you like giving information and being helpful and I think that's great-and I supported a previous poster on that....but gee! you don't like being disagreed with do you Dunroving?

I write as I write, and I would have though it as plain as day that I'm not trying to 'impress others with self-judged superior intelligence',...because many have disagreed with me!
So if I was doing that it ain't worked has it?

The thing is; I don't care about your need to 'analyse' me! It doesn't bother me, and that irritates you no end!! Look at what you've just written!
...................you of course are not 'Mr Angry'. Perish the thought!

Don't upset yourself. It's just a forum, not the Oxford Debating Society (I'm sure I read that somewhere else...?).

I'll continue to post as I post, as long as I don't breach forum rules, and not according to your 'rules'.
You will no doubt do the same.

So calm down; peace love happiness an' all that..

You are becoming obsessed. I doubt this has anything to do with intellectual superiority, rather the opposite.
Stop trying to bait me into a row dunroving; it won't work.

As I said you need to calm down-chill or whatever. I'm not going to get into a personal battle with you, it has nothing to do with the thread title.

Just let it go.

Sorry. Not concise enough? If I was as concise as I'd like to be.....I'd get banned.

Move on dunroving, stop stressing yourself.

(......and I'm not arguing Chris, I'm trying to avoid it).

I appreciate the advice though.
