    No reaction at all to this video? No one?

    My missus says to me ''God made you'' quite often. Usually when she wants something.

    Not surprised to be honest as the kids are hardly ever at school. They're either on holiday, the teachers are striking or they don't bother going when the weather's bad. Most of the schools are in a dilapidated state which doesn't exactly help either.

    Someone told me money laundering is rife on ML. That's why you see items priced 10 times more than they're worth.

    I had no idea the history of the islands was so complex.

    Indeed, what a palaver.

    I reckon all the countries mentioned should just toss coins with the winner taking all. I've got a pile of peso coins in a drawer sitting doing nothing if the Argies want to call me up.

    This doesn't surprise me in the least. The amount of people I see walking around glued to their phones without even aware of their surroundings is quite astonishing.

    More worrying is the number of road users I see every day glued to their phones while driving. Police included.

    I'm sorry but I can't take these videos about Argentina seriously any more. As soon as something newsworthy appears, everyone jumps on the bandwagon and produces a click-bait video. Furthermore, if you read the comments, 99% of those are from people who barely even know where Argentina is and know zero of the peculiar idiosyncrasies of this country.

    Anyone with the gift of the gab can become a popular YouTuber spouting the bleedin' obvious which this guy does. Same can be said for politicians.

    Sounds alright. :thumbup:

    Wish we could do something like that here especially the market. Reminds me of Paddy's Market or the Barras in Glasgow where I regularly used to wander through looking for old stuff.

    I must be nuts. Went for a 22km cycle ride on Saturday from La Lucila to Parque de los Niños, Nuñez via Paseo de la Costa and there was practically nobody about because it was cold, windy and cloudy. I was well wrapped up and the only cold I felt was in my feet!

    Good for you. The odd short trip out to the garden was as far as I got yesterday. Got to go to the countryside this afternoon so here's hoping the sun stays out and the wind doesn't get up. A max of 11c is forecast so still winter woolly weather compared to this time last year.

    Sounds like you have a shot at becoming a beer reseller to finance your bread addiction, UK Man !

    The other way around. ^^

    I hate the way the retail sector operates here. I do my best to avoid buying anything at normal price so stock up when it's on a so called offer. The beer has a sell by date sometime in 2027 so no rush to drink it. Even the missus encourages me to fill my boots when I can. :thumbup:

    Almost all offer prices are taking the piss.

    Except the German beers in DIA . Just about to go an dpick up a few cans of the IPA

    Down from 2500 to 1500, plus another 20% off with Modo

    Yes indeed. I've stocked up enough to last me a while. In fact I bought so much of the St Wendeler Negra and Lager at the offer price my Dia have run out of the stuff. So I started buying the Trigo variety which is okay now and again.

    I'm still buying the mass produced sliced bread as I hate the freshly baked crap they all seem to love here.

    Anyway....I saw La Anonima had an ''offer'' on my usual brand of loaf yesterday reduced from 5300 to 3700. On the way the missus stopped at the pharmacy which so happens is across the road from a Chino. So I went in to see what they had and lo and behold they were selling the exact same loaf at a normal price of 2900. So much for La Anonima's offer price which really is taking the piss.

    They finally cancelled the boot sale late Friday afternoon. The right decision, even if it is a bit of drizzle. She'll be doing a different one on Sunday anyway to make up for it.

    It's a horrible dull, cold and windy morning here. Even though it's dry I certainly wouldn't like to be standing about outside for long. Got to go to the countryside this afternoon so the winter woollies will be going back on. 🥶

    We were in Glasgow. No idea what I was doing when the news broke....skiving at work probably.

    We had a few rumbles of thunder late this afternoon but it's remained dry despite the forecast for showers.
