However,do make the effort with the language,if you dont your only storing up trouble for yourself,desgraciademente

PS;the book and cd set is available from WHSmith's,at approx Â£17.00.

You can do that with any dark meat, and it works very well.

Hi Sam Work is getting tighter but it hasn,t dried up, most building work will be self employed status, its getting decent pay thats a challenge, English builders have a very bad name over here, but if you stand out from the idiots, word of mouth is your best advertising. Since ive been here i have lost around 9 wks in 2 years, starting from nothing, and now doing reforms, pools ect, pay averaging around 600 euros per wk, but i graft to get it, not had a day off this year, just remember coming to Spain is not a holiday, its hard graft but a great life.

Hello bil,
I say many times this, but, instead of "de la puta madre" you should say "de puta madre" without "la" in this way, it sounds much better.

Hi Marisol,

Long time no speak, how is this for a view. The roof beams have been caught up in the haulage strike down in Algiceras but should be there any day now.

Regards,

John.
