Marisol - tranqilizate!!! In English, the phrase 'you can't imagine' is used in exactly the same way as in Castellano, and I was agreeing with you in what you say about those who feel the world revolve around them, noting that through my time in Madrid and Seville (two of Spain's most notorious 'Chulo y Pijo' cities) I had encountered my fair share.

Mrs F by the way is looking forward to meeting a fellow Madrileña (despite the fact she is really from the city of the Loch Ness Monster [piensalo] even though she claims she is from Chamberi due to her father!!!!)

is she from Scotland? i also used to live in Chamberi, en Alberto Aguilera (Arapiles) and fortunately im not chula nor pija , well, at least i think so

Loch Ness - Lago Ness. Where near Madrid sounds like Lago Ness????????!!!!!! (Think south, between Fuenlabrada and Getafe!!!!).

I used to work near Alberto Aguilera in Altadis (old Tabacalera) Head office.

Anyhow her fathers house was on Blasco de Garay near Vallehermosa market and San Juan de la Cruz (?????? can't remember) Church

Oh, and by the way - if you are a Madridista you are most definitely a Pija!!!!! Remember I told you I was based in Carabanchel, el Barrio Obrero!!!

ah! Leganés, is like "Egg Zackerly" isnt it? i think im not pija nor chula, im silly!!
im not madridista, im del atletic.
by the way, i dont live in Carabanchel but im of the working class

Marisol, EVERYONE in Madrid ( and elsewhere for that matter) likes to think they are working class, when in truth most of us passed to middle class long ago, even if we don't want to admit it.


Glad to hear you are Rojiblanco. (Mrs F and her ENTIRE family is Madridista, so makes for fun weekends, like last Saturday - we let them off :curse

Just as the arrogance of Real Madrid sees their fans refer to them simply as Madrid (forgetting the other teams of the capital), we Rojiblancos refer to them as Los Pijos de la Castellana

Hi Jur,

Over at the end of March.

Any music events,bands performing?


Regards

Tony

Yes, they really are.

Hi! La Sonrisa is opening at the beginning of April, but surely we´ll start up with some live music.

(+ Bingo & Karaoke especially for Fortaleza....)

I take it the last bit is aa idea of a little joke

Definetely joking, actually bingo is quite popular here amongst the Spanish. There´s a place called El Casinillo opening soon next to where the Absolute furniture shop used to be.

So it's true then, Absolute are no longer there???? I knew it was on the cards (along with the others in town) but when was the final nail in the coffin hammered in?

I thought I had missed him advertising on here. ;-)

He he he he he he he he !!!!!!!!!! You know, you can be right wry you can!!!!

Are you saying some people actually advertised on here Surely not I must have missed them

As far a s I know the furniture sales are still on but online only. The office in the centre of Ayamonte is still there.

Jackytoo, you run a business here as well or am I mistaken ?
