They should speak English, I find it utterly disgusting that people wont recognise the divine right of the English language and accept that it is the world tongue.

you're bored

you can tell?

A lot of, if not all of, do the International GCSEs. The syllabuses will be different so a change half way through a two year course might be difficult.

My daughter wants to be a pro golfer too. There's no better place to be. As long as you can afford to join a golf club!!

Hi , that sounds a good idea. I have 3 children girl of 12, boy of 15(year 10) and a boy who will be 18 in Jan. If you want any help or info just let me know !

Thanks that would be great. Could you perhaps pm me so I can find out how to reply. Struggling a bit here. Is your 18 year old still at school? Do you know if there any rugby clubs around as Charlie (oldest is very keen). Coming over on 20th for3 days to show kids around and look at more houses. Any suggestions where to eat, weare staying in Marbella for 2 nights. Cutting it very tight for Christmas, but needs must!!!

Ah, stupid, just worked out how to pm. Must be my age

Great Rugby club Marbella opposite the costa del sol hospital - my lad goes there and they are always on the look out for others. Trainging is 7-9pm tuesday and thursday with matches satrdays - they do travek akk over the place so be aware of that and train them hard - they are the top of their league (cadets and under 17s nd under 19s are anyway. Where are you staying re restauranmts as can help you there!

Melia Marbella Dinamar, thought the first afternoon we would take boys into Marbella for a look around and lunch and then I understand we can walk into Puerto Banus in evening and have dinner there. Does the rugby club take under 16 as well?? Weather vile here today, looks much nicer where you arfe!!

The Melia - not 100% sure where that is but if you get onto the seafront, your kids will love the Blue Palm, fabulous food and sea views! Also any footie is on and they are really friendly.

Garum on the front as well, seems poncy food but their burgers are to die for - dont bother with the chocolate suprise, the suprise is how small it is!

Rugby from all ages, my son was 14 when he started, now 15 and they have the tiddlers there too.

Hi, not sure if you got my PM, but anyway rugby club takes from under 15's to over 19's, so you'll be fine. The hotel you are staying in is in Marbella, i think you will need a car to go into Banus as it's not a short walk.The rugby club is oppisite the Costa del sol hospital, are you hiring a car>>?

No, not getting a car as last time we did not use it at all. Being picked up an d delivered back to airport. Have I got it back to front, I can walk into Marbella but need a taxi to Banus?? Thanks for info from all about rugby club,both boys are pleased. I just need to find a dressage trainer and we will be all set up

Youre not missing much with Banus and I wouldnt encourage the boys there, either!

El Corte Ingles for shopping and some of the boutiques, but old town Marbella much better I think

Enjoy!

Why wouldnt you encourage my sons to go there?? Please be honest, its best I know in advance. Didnt look full of sex shops and the like but then I didnt see a lot of it.

Well - daytime its fine, friendly nice family orinentated etc. Eveneings borderline and the cinema shows englisj films, but night time lads and laddesses out for drinking as much as they can, hen and stag parties and its not pleasant!

Yes, ladies of the night are all over the place and touts trying to get peeps into cluds etc etc etc! Just seedy and I would want my kids there unless I was with them!

Not dangerous or violent at all - I have never seen any trouble like that.

And the musics an insult to decent over 40 year old ears!!!!!
