Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?

Yes,I know what you're saying.
I've rented the shooting rights out on my place out for many years and still do.

Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?

Yeh, well to my mind there's hunting and there's hunting, or maybe I should say there's hunting and there's hypocrisy.

I say that as someone who had the hunting bug for a great many years.
I'm no...

Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?

Yes, love the stuff myself, put it on all the veggies, great with peas, even on fish.
As it gets down, I just keep adding more and more vinegar, as I'm much the same with that and pour it on almost...

Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?

I imagine thats why they're called threads, weaving around from one point to another, never knowing where they'll end up, till big brother jumps in of course with his big scissors. ;)

Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?

I'm not easily upset, but those ppl.make my blood boil.

It's little wonder that many dogs fail to return to their transport after a days hunting.

The owners are sitting up front in absolute...

Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?

I think the huge numbers of abandoned, emaciated hunting dogs is evidence enough in itself, and a national disgrace.
Little wonder that the Spanish, somewhat unfairly IMO, all get tarred with the...

Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?

From what I've seen of the guys with hunting dogs,they are more obsessed with their macho image and tradition than with serious hunting.
It would be somewhat difficult for them to go out mob...

Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?

I can't recall seeing anyone as dedicated to their livestock as the small farmers of Asturias, Galicia and parts of Extremadura.
They seemed to almost live with their small herds of cattle and...

Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?

Despite the anomalies you mention, some of which I agree with, I would say that the UK is overall one of the most civilised countries regarding animal welfare.
The UK has been one of the leading...

Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?

Whilst I agree with much of what you say about the animals, (I think the neglected,mistreated hunting dogs are one of the saddest sights), it is not all bad news.
For instance the Spanish...

Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?

You seem to forget that although Spain appears up to date in many areas, modernisation and typical Western ways were held back for about thirty five years during the Franco era and before, when it...

Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?

Well we appear to be a tad off topic, but it may be interesting to start another thread regarding quality of life in Spain as against other EU countries, possibly excluding the UK which has been done...

Ha Ha, big joke, hope you enjoy your Brussel Sprouts. :p

By the way if Spain was as bad as you say, why did you keep coming back for more ? :confused:

Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?

I once knew a Belgium bird and I can assure you she was far from boring. ;):D

Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?

Yeh, but most Canadians tend to be very boring. ;)
Maybe thats why many of them love being in Spain.

Re: Do you think the Spanish think you are rich?
