I'm getting my tin helmet ready for this one.

I guess much the same could be said of most touristy capitals around the world. It is a rather smug and superior attitude.

If you read the article you'd see knocking points as well as the praise (best water etc). Not so sure you'd call Madrid a "touristy capital" - surely Barcelona would hold that spot in Spain?

It would appear so,
....especially from someone who has only recently moved there.

Really?
Do I need to remind you I've worked there on different occasions in the past? And known the city since at least 1990.
Of course you claim to be a honest poster, so I can only think you made that post out of ignorance..

I simply agreed with another posters opinion and I think your last post pretty well confirms it

Nuff said, I think.

I have absolutely no intention of getting involved in a personal slanging match, ....so I''ll leave you to it.

You seem to be keeping strange hours, or is that the norm in your neck of the woods.

Ah, gotcha now Madridboy, though I don't recall the film.
Talking of famous quotes, I was watching the Bucket List last night, again and this from Jack Nicholson, always makes me laugh..

Three Things To Remember When Your Old

1. Never pass up a bathroom.
2. Never waste a hard-on.
3. Never trust a fart.
