Re: Technowizards - Tell me, how do they know?

I am not even a novice at all of this. I only found out about proxy servers during the life of this thread. All I only ever wanted to do was to catch up on a couple of TV programmes that I missed...

Re: Technowizards - Tell me, how do they know?

Re: Which bank to open an account with ?

May I ask why you say that? I was ripped off mercilessly by Unicaja but la Caixa have been a Godsend. Would be interested to know why you have such a low opinion of the caja's.

Re: How do I fix this decorating problem?

Re: "Bizarre foods" - Spain

You are of course probably very right - even tho' they were described as a special offer for some fiesta or other. I thought that the fakes had to be described as 'gulas'. Beggars the question "Is...

Re: "Bizarre foods" - Spain
