Not the right thread, but anyway this shows how difficult it must be learn English. Makes very little sense.

I can't get rid of the first vid, sorry.

I knew the Bird of paradise would be root bound, but I wasn't expecting this. It was quite a job getting it out of the container and, with Pandachorra's assistance, I dug the deepest hole that I could.

Apparently, I can't divide it until next spring.

To be fair to the cashiers, they always tell us which cards have offers. Let's face it, they're in the same boat.

I don’t recall seeing a Cafayate Malbec in England before though I might be remembering wrong.

I’m stuck in an AirBnB in northern England and I can’t find a corkscrew anywhere. So I’ve had to push the cork into the bottle and hence a bit of wine spilt out down the sides of the bottle.

This was from Home And Bargain of all places.

Swiss Army Knife to the rescue!

Yes, shopping here's a ruddy nightmare. Thankfully my missus keeps tabs on where and and on which days we go to take 'advantage' of them as I don't have the patience. I still view most of them as a bit of a con. I suspect they might inflate prices.

I only went to Carrefour for a couple of things, then I spotted the Havana rum with 25% discount on the normal price which seems to happen every Thursday (usually 35%) and I knew I had the over 60 10% discount, so I threw a few more things in the trolley.

The checkout lady kindly suggested that I pay with MercadoPago because I would get an extra 15%, so my total saving was over 30% and the prices were not inflated beforehand. I checked.

I now treat it as a bit of fun, but I'm an amateur in comparison to Adri who does bargain hunting with military precision.

It can be fun!

I scored well today in Carrefour with 10% over 60 and a further 15% paying with MercadoPago, not to mention 25% off Havana Rum in the first place.

One hell of a storm has just hit here.....could be heading your way next.

Looks like it.

Love this Aussie humour!

One of our members has a short term rental appt.

It has the unmistakeable aroma of serial sex offender, convicted felon and 'fuck you, I don't care!'

Not too bad so far, but cockroaches are a menace and I hate the buggers! Fortunately, Pandachorra is a whiz at catching them.

The party's over!

Incredible!

I thought he was keeping it in the family?

I wish he would be more personal without notes and has anyone noticed that Karina, his sister, seems to have had a makeover?

This one is very accurate:

Prices are still ridiculous though and in many cases, twice the price of the models in Europe or USA. That's why we've decided to hang on for a while longer because it will take time for adjustments to filter down, tempting though it may be.

Heading in the right direction!

Nobel prize incoming?

Whilst I can understand the feelings towards the Assad regime, this is barbaric.

I would have found it difficult to keep still and not fidget while teacher speaks for 35 minutes!
