Let’s try.
Nope, can’t attach the screenshot in my iPad. “Unknown error.” Right.

(This site has more than its share of ads. I’d recommend using the reader view.)
Hey, I got a lot of good info from the “Precast Concrete Products - Trenches, Manholes, Vaults” one. Helped solve some of my yard problems.

Buenos Aires always delights and surprises, with its banquet of museums. This one looks very interesting, though perhaps best not visited just before surgery?
Or on cleaning day in case of an accidental discharge.

But if the former administration had had 6 year terms, the damage could have been even greater than it was ....
It also assumes a single term; the incumbent was ineligible for re-election.
Carlos, I don’t remember: could a former president run again after an intervening term, or was it one term in a lifetime?

GJ’s map directs me to a location in Caballito, which would be more convenient to my home near Parque Chacabuco.

The flag was ignored eventually as the more important task of imbibing was at hand, relegating any ideas of flags to the status of irrelevant.
Amazing what a couple of shots will do.
Proving she was one of those reasonable Irish.
Not all are.

Your map directs me to a location in Sugar Land, Texas, located conveniently about 60 km south of my current location near Houston, Texas.
It is quite a ways from Caballito.
Something is quite iffy re attaching Google maps.

I did a birthday bbq recently and invited an Irish lady friend who comes from Enniskillen in Northern Ireland and I hung a Union Jack on the wall next to the food table.
She wasn't impressed. The trouble is with The North, you never know if they're republican or unionist.
When she left, was the flag still hanging or pulled down over your head? That might be a clue.

Confuse Ireland with the UK at your peril and never, ever call it Southern Ireland.
Maybe that’s the explanation for the tattoos.

Glenmorangie Is a decent dram , although I am more of a Macallan man
Off to Uruguay next week on the boat ,so I will have a chance to buy something decent on Buquebus.
Might be a good idea to save some of it for when you get home. (Just a thought - you’re not obligated.)

Fullers on tap ...interesting!
Which surprises me ... not at all?
I’ve recently become a convert to, and devotee of, the various offerings of house Glenmorangie (blessed be our friends who lead us to new delights). Do you have an opinion regarding the libations thus offered?

A bit like getting into a conversation with an Argentine about the Falklands' war (something I avoid like the plague) and I say I'm Welsh and then they say, 'oh that's okay then.' as if being English means I was responsible for the whole fucking mess in the first place.
Yes and they're convinced that the English went to war with them, forgetting that our armed forces are in fact British, prompting me to give them a proper education.
That must be wearying. Does the average Argentine have any idea of the distinction between England and Wales?

Thank for the excellent summary. You’ve saved me several hours of boredom or agony.

The authorities could do something, but to what end? No one could claim he did it on purpose, and no one will ever try to emulate him. He certainly never will be again in a position where he might harm kids. For the rest of his life he’ll be “Oh yeah. That guy.”
Hard to see where anyone gets better by hounding him after the fact.

Is substance allowed, too? If not, I can try to find something more suitable.

See my post above for my whole opinion, but as a practical matter it’s perfectly fine to say “Americans,” because we never call anyone else that to identify them. Has anyone ever called “Canadians” anything else? “Far Northern Americans?” Not in my lifetime, and the same is true for Mexicans.
So for unique identification, “Americans” is both correct and convenient.
But that leaves out the emotional part, doesn’t it? And we’d hate to give that up.

My point was that, when buying in the US from Amazon, they’ll often use the postal service to ship. Am I wrong in thinking that that would not be a good option in Argentina and that it would inhibit the adoption of ecommerce by the public in general?

I am on my last day in Italy and I have been buying stuff on Amazon throughout my holiday. While Amazon it relatively new also in Italy, e-commerce was already a thing before Amazon.it and many big chain stores were already offering the ability to purchase online, pay for the delivery and get your purchase to your door. It was not as economically advantageous as buying in store, but still...
In Argentina this is hardly the case. With the exception of Mercadolibre, I cannot think of a similar e-commerce online place in Argentina. Big electronics chain stores such as Fravega, Musimundo, and Ribeiro, offer online e-stores but the selection is not as wide as in-store.
Why?
I’m really just guessing because I’ve never done e-commerce in Argentina, but if much of the delivery is by postal service, as it is in the US, rather than private couriers, what are the odds that a large part of the merchandise never gets to the buyer?

Turns out Mr. Johnson did not go quietly (surprising, that, no?). He wrote a public letter that would allow any astute reader to imagine how much better he would have handled it than Ms. May.

I’ve been to the Valle de los Caidos. “Glory” is not a word I’d use to describe any part of the experience. It might have been, once, for those who idolized Franco, but for most visitors now, “sadness” and “waste“ probably better describe the reaction.
As I said, it’s up to the Spaniards, but the kind of changes being proposed very much would be trying to rewrite historical outcomes.
