I remember the rag and bone man used to come down our street in Glasgow every week on his horse and cart....and not that long ago Paddy's Market in Glasgow used to sell stuff acquired from the rubbish bins.
Where there's muck there's brass!!!

Macri falls so short of that mark that it's a miracle he ever made it quite frankly.
Yes it was a miracle wasn't it.....I'll say no more.

I’m trying to imagine The results from that combination. Spanish ingenuity and Italian efficiency?
Aye right enough....at least they now have a stable currency.
-
No, under German government!!!
Force the Spanish and Italians to sort the ruddy mess out...it's all their fault.

If you ask me Argentina needs to be moved to Europe.
-
UK Man , I’d suggest that her being VP is farcical if she’s guilty of even a fraction of the thefts she’s accused of. Surely even her voters know that she robbed the country blind, and yet -
Well indeed.....the fact the voters don't seem to care she's guilty doesn't bode well for the future.
-
It's the same attitude as here.....
I can already see the people crying of the disaster, cfk again robbing the country and driving it against the wall.......and at the end, no one voted for her and the 🤡.....it was someone else that made it happen!
Yes I suspect there's some truth in all of what you say. The last part quoted is what bothers me the most to be honest. If she's quilty of doing all she's accused of, the fact she's now Vice President is farcical. Even worse is that your average Argentine sees nothing wrong with it. Is it any wonder the country's totally *ucked?
In a way I'm glad Macri didn't win as I suspect trouble could have been whipped up if he had.

You cannot conveniently blame the Venezuelan mess on the people, not now anyway.
Probably the K mess because they were voted in by 54%. In Maduro's mess, you vote for whom you're told to and they are rigged anyway.
Let's face it the whole of S America is a basket case. Anything can happen.

I think this ability to carry on and smile is one of the characteristics we all find so brave, positive and admirable. Given the near impossibility of changing anything, what is the alternative?
Yes it's nice to see but I'm not so sure it cancels out all the negatives. People in the UK smile as well especially those in the regions.
I know which side of the Atlantic I'd rather spend the rest of my life in.

Yet people in Argentina carry on and smile, enjoying life. You really wouldn't think all the problems existed if you looked at packed cafes and restaurants.
Very true...

The Danes I know have a very strange sense of humour....wonder if it's because all their first names seem to begin with the letter J?
