I agree with you. Our English president in M6, Marina Esury is fantastic, she gets things done but she worked very hard during her holidays for our manzana.
Thanks to her extra effort was possible to change for a better administration than ADA .She gets all our respect.


we have Arty on M3 and he does a great job. He has helped us dispose of ADA for our commmunity and also and keeps them on their toes for the shared intercommunity issues.

I wind him up because he can't decide what nationality he is (depends who's playing ;)) and he winds me up, naturally, for being Welsh. It is not proferred offensively (unlike certain other posters on this board who shall remain nameless) and it is certainly not taken offensively.

C'mon butt, if we took offence at every aside thrown our way, we be fighting the world!!!!!


Welsh people fighting the world....never........they like to fight each other way too much.....leastways until King Warren of Waikato showed up with his ENGLISH sidekick.

Us English love you as much as you love us! :wub::rofl:

Hi Mitchell, welcome , have sent you a p.m. I also got a letter about the meeting but no details about these proposals that you mention. Did you find out about these from someone over there? As I am going to be living there permanently security is not such an issue for me but for those whose houses lie empty for long spells they might quite like the idea of security gates. It is just a pity they had not given more notice of meeting so more of us could attend, just hope they are not trying to rush thro` something, like ADA as administrator!!!

Far for me at contradict a guru (however, I am of the same species and therefore argumentative), but Article 6 Para 2 of the Rago 2 Community constitution states that "Property owners must comply with the obligation of .... Adequate maintenance of individual property and individual installations to avoid detriment to the Community or other property owners, with adequate provision of compensation to other property owners in the event of any such likelihood."

I would claim that the condition of some of the gardens in Rago 2 are such as to reduce he value of my property. That said, however, I cannot see the current administration having the balls to do anything about it!!

In any event, I would very much like to thank Lee in particular, and also anybody else, who, even retrospectively, do something to remove some of the current eyesores.

Guru????!!!! Never been called that!!! I've been called a Buddha before but that's more to do with my rotund, vertically challenged form rather than wisdom;)

I live in quite a swanky, fairly new block of duplexes and apartments which is quite large. Nothing at all really gets done here. There's about a 60-40 split between out of towners (primarily Seville) and permanent residents. My next door neighbour is a retired Sevilliano, bitter at the fact that he has one of two apartments on this floor surrounded by 10 really lovely duplexes with the roof terrace in each of them larger than his entire apartment. He does not get on with the nieghbours. He's bored, with a lot of time on his hands and makes Victor Meldrew look like a pussycat. He complains about everything. When he is in town, he will spend practically every day in the administrators office, shopping every neighbour (including those who live a long way away from him) for every 'transgression'. He refuses to go through the president and he covets that job. He'll never get it. Despite his age, he has been involved in several skirmishes with the neighbours which on more than one occasion has boiled over into violence (the last fight was when a neighbour repainted his door and the white paint he chose was a semi-tone off 'the agreed colour' that you would really have to look hard to notice. Instead of talking to the neighbour he went directly to the administrater to register his complaint who passed on the comments to the 'offending neighbour'. A black eye followed!)

The reason for the story is that despite his complaining (and sometimes he may have a legitimate point) nothing ever gets done as people here just do what they want.

For the awnings used as blinds on balconies, they are supposed to be a certain tone of yellow (yes, it is that specific!) yet we have a mixture of green, blue and yellow. No satellite dishes are to be installed - everyone has their own private one, we have two!!!

The best, though, was when one of the duplexes wanted to 'glass in' their downstairs balcony, which would drastically change the main outside appearance of the entire building. They argued that it was their space to do with what they want and went ahead anyway (creating a wonderful extention to the lounge). Our Señor Meldrew was up in arms, but then others started doing the same. In a matter of a few weeks, almost the entire block had it installed. Some didn't want to do it but felt obliged to do so otherwise the outside would look a bit ridiculous if everthing is glassed less a couple of places. Señor Meldrew begrudgingly spent thousands of euros to get his done as he felt he had no choice. Complaints to the adminstrator and president and other neighbours fell on deaf ears. I don't particulraly like this man, but it wasn't fair that he felt he had no choice but to buy it.

People have stopped attending the comunidad meetings now as they are a waste of time. Unfortunately, this has been my experience of comunidades in other blocks I've lived in not just here but elsewhere too.

A friend is bothered by two alsations on the next balcony. Rules say NO dogs but nothing has been done in 18 months. Despite all his complaints, he has even been to the Police and Town Hall. They just shrug their shoulders in Spain.

Don't get me started!!! I think it is fine if you have a roomy house with garden etc but people in apartment blocks who keep their dogs cooped up all day bar a quick morning and evening stroll really wind me up, and I'm not even an animal lover (unless it's medium rare, preferably chargrilled;))

However, come to think of it, the missus' cousin had two massive dogs in a block of terraced (sorry Town) housing and there was no comunidad involved as these were private houses on a private street. People complained and eventually the council acted and threatened to take them off him. He now has to keep them in a friends house, who doesn't have neighbour problems

well do as they want maybe but when or if the comunity decides to take legal action it could well cost them a fortune
