What's the hardest word to pronounce or what challenges are you still facing, when speaking Spanish? And how did you learn it?
I gave up trying to speak Spanish years ago after nobody knew what the hell I was saying whenever I spoke it.

Italy 23 England 18
Another big shock today....that's their first ever victory against England.

Just back from the countryside and saw this. Amazing how well Italy have improved over the last decade while certain others form has slumped. Good for them. ![]()
Next weekend's games will be worth watching. Here's hoping for an England win. ![]()
WHICH BRAND WAS ON OFFER?
Hope it wasn't this. Snapped them up too quick maybe?

The local rag seems to have it in for horses here. For several weeks they've been running stories about the dangers of loose horses roaming the city streets. To be honest I've yet to hear or read a single story about them causing an accident. I quite like seeing them especially as all those that I regularly see always look very laid back and friendly. The human road users on the other hand.....
Been raining here steadily since I got up which will please the missus. Wasn't raining at 6am when I was up visiting the loo and found the floor flooded due to a faulty ballcock. ![]()
She loved it!
My missus isn't that keen on them. Here's one I had in a wonderful Isle of Skye B&B years ago.
Went to Montevideo yonks ago for a couple of days. We flew there and back with Pluna who I see stopped flying in 2012. I liked the city as I found it more relaxing than BA.
That really pisses me off , when days are changed with no prior advice
We only found out when the missus asked the girl when paying. When we went to the car park they were putting up the new discount plackards. That was around 3pm. ![]()
I’ve always thought that living in Argentina required advanced degrees in mathematics, economics, and banking. I can tell you for sure that chemistry and medicine are not sufficient backgrounds for the demands of daily life.
Indeed. You also need to be able to see into the future. We went to Vea yesterday only to find they'd changed the day for the MODO discount.
Trump invites Messi to the White House
Who are you said Trump. ![]()
What a plonker.
Best of it is these so called offers in the likes of La Anonima and Vea aren't really offers at all.....KitKats being an excellent example. La Anomimas normal price for one KitKat is 96 pesos. The other day they were ''ON OFFERTA!!!!'' at 58 pesos!!! A three block walk to a small Kisoco they had them at 3 for 100 pesos....normal price 40 pesos which is far more realistic.
How the supermarkets get away with it is beyond me....Crazy!! One example why this country is F*****!!
Nothing much has changed in the retail trade since back then. Prices are still a rip off when it comes to offers....on KitKats and beer especially.
Did your missus like it?
Good grief! Photoshopped or real? <shudder>
I can well imagine she has a face like that when she wakes up in the morning. Especially when she remembers she's no longer the centre of attraction. ![]()
Love the comments...''Maybe this will motivate me to do the dishes today''. ![]()
My missus has been paying expenses etc.etc this week. She uses someone we know to exchange money. To think what a million pesos used to get you as well. Nowadays it's a joke.
Is this another example of why we might want more women running things?
As long as it's not this one. She'd scare the kids.

I forgot how much I last paid for memory.
Petulant Baby Trump is now insulting both UK PM, Starmer and Pedro Sanchez of Spain, threatening to cancel all trade with Spain.
How many enemies does he need?
Sanchez of Spain is detested by my missus. The names she calls him even makes me blush. ![]()
That looks like Daniel Scioli with Kristina Kaka Chorra.
Yes it is....might see him sniffing about as well!! ![]()
