I have got a black belt in origami myself, so I can look after myself as well.

So what about the Spanish, then, was that any good ?

The only belts that matter in Boxe Francais, are the one that say "Middle weight Champion...."

Back to subject, whats your opinion on my chances ? Have I got enough money to back me up if the job doesn't work out ?

That sounds great, what did you pay, and when was it ?

Is the area good ? TBH, the part I stayed in was the Montesol Urbanization, more Benidorm than La Nucia, used to go into Benidorm all the time.

I lived on C/ Las Vegas, barranco hondo. I paid 800€ a month for a 5 bedroom chalet with private pool. left there a year and a half ago. The area I was in was a mix of French, Dutch, Spanish, German and English. It's a nice quiet area but only a 10 min drive to the beaches and 5 min drive to the motorway.

Your Spanish = cojonudo,
so are you impressed with my BB? (black belt 8th dan)

About the money question, you could become a "male escort", with your language skills, I noticed a bit of French in there, did I not?

Cojonudo eh, well that could be taken one of two ways, can't it ?

Whats wrong with being French ? Bit of a racist are we ?

Have you got some sort of a problem with Brit's in Spain ? Noticed you generally try to put people off ?

Shame we didn't take that attitude when you came over here, isn't it ? Or perhaps you should just p**s off home, mate !

Staright on the ignore list !

So I take it you dont know what cojonudo means, then?????????

Could someone please tell him, I dont feel like I want to after this uncalled for post.

As for the rest of the comments, I thought it was obvious that I was joking, and by the way French is not a race its a nationaliy, and are you trying to say that I had not right to return to my homeland.

I hope this post did not stem from my cojonudo comment on you level of Spainidh, because you are going to look very silly indeed,

I could see nothing wrong with your use of "cojonudo" (you being Spanish, that's hardly surprising:rofl:), hence my question, "Is there a problem?" :confused: However, I think the person that queried your use of the word is a Spanish teacher???:confused:

You are not wrong, as far as I know cojonudo can only be used one way and only has one meaning, which is GREAT, BRILL etc.

As I said if Savateurs comment was based on the word COJONUDO, and that is why he got his knickers in a twist, because he thought I was insulting his level of Spanish he will look a bit of a tit.

if he knows that it can mean more than one thing, (which I am unaware of) then I will have to rethink, my usage of the word, after all I dont want to get my head battered in for insulting people, when I dont mean to.

I shall await with baited breath for his reply, because obviously he knows something I dont.
