Before belonging to Europe (before the disastrous Spanish political class sold our democracy, our economy and our currency to club), money came into my home until by the windows, the prices were very good, and could buy a house and a car without problems
Today, this is most difficult Some funds you put to good use, some funds you wasted, but most of all you did not properly plan ahead and have an ecomnomy better suited to survive a crisis like the present one. Don't get me wrong I'm not defending the EU,... especially in its present top-heavy, shambolic, undemocratic,wasteful form. I don't think it will be too long before the whole damned house of cards collapses and then it definitely will be back to every country and every manjack for himself. |

Just kidding but couldn't you have just edited them and at least let me keep up with the whole show. I feel really cheated now :( like being at the theatre and the curtain came down too early lol |

Re: Can't wait
I think I'll go to bed during the day and stay up at nights in future to catch all the action.
I just glanced at the Spanish headlines before going to bed in the early hours today and was somewhat shocked to see in dramatic terms that we were all set to go to war over the Gib issue. Fortunately it's been toned down a bit by this morning, after they all had a good nights sleep maybe. |

I think I should read these posts in the early hours too, I could've done so the other night as insomnia had kicked in big time,, had I been in Spain I would have been down in a cafe bar enjoying my insomnia, here in Britain, nothing you can do but bear it out. |
Re: Can't wait
As I said earlier there are two types of newcomers who I could usually soon see were going to be a major FAILURE with there new life in Spain.
There are the "England is f****d Brigade" and also the "Plonky Brigade" who rapidly lose the plot by almost drowning with cheap booze. Unfortunately for Mr Mc. he sems to fit into both categories at the same time, so I'd reckon his chance of success vary somewhere between remote and zero. |

I would still like to see him come back and resume his part in this very entertaining thread.... Saturday's are quite boring here, I guess I'll just have to go to bingo if things don't liven up :p
Oh I wouldn't do that Doris. Apparently there's a war due to start any minute, though maybe they'll wait to try and catch us off guard later in the day, when we're all watching the European Cup Final. |
