Used to be full of poor people. Not sure now.

If you leave out the grammar, and don't even *think* about the
subjunctive - like someone said - a few years. Although, Des could learn
in 2 months. Ask him how.

Why do your replies seem to bugger about with line breaks? Or is it me?

Hmm, spanish plod. There are four different branches. And sub-branches.

Guardia Civil Trafico are fairly "straightforward".

Insurance for getting out of spanish jail while el trafico investigate
your accident or whatever.

Well, I've sat on the fence up til now, but I hereby join the "I think
Des is a twat" club. Come and spend a few months in Andalucía. Even a
linguistic god like you will struggle. I only know one person in the
village who speaks half decent castellano. The locals generally don't
even understand each other.

"All the world's an idiot (apart from Des)". **** off.

Oh fucking hell Paul, he's not supposed to know about that!

Now we're going to have to change the password, get new uniforms, choose
a new handshake and *everything*.

Splitters!

Whatever.

Oh, and I never claimed to be a 'linguistic god'. If you're going to
create strawmen just to make yourself look good, you've failed.

SWMBO went to Italy after doing 'Sciences-Po'. She worked in the French
embassy in Milan. When she went out there, she couldn't speak a word.
Six months later, she was chuntering away, and a year after that, she
was being mistaken for an Italian. Before leaving university, she spent
three months in Guatemala, learning Spanish. She is not fluent, but
when she watches TVE, she probably understands about 75% or more of what
they're saying.

Still, like I say: *shrug* . If you want to throw a hissy fit and take
my words as some sort of 'attack', or as somehow offensive to you,
that's not my problem.

Do you have problems with English, too ? Which part of 'people like
you' is causing you difficulties ?

 

on the other hand, if he was trying to be mildy amusing, he succeeded.

 

All depends on your point of view, really..L.

 

isn't that just because they're permanently drunk?

Oh you're so French!

 

I know, but do they have to put snails in it? When I asked for the paella
carne, I didn't expect snails. Best one I ever had was in a small family
hotel in the Pyrennes made by a woman that was about 90. No snails in
that one.

 

Nowt wrong wi snails. Dunno what your problem is. Now squid or baby
octopus, oft served in a paella, is just gross.

 

Ace bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the lines
of:

Snails in Paella? Never had that before. Squid or Octopus, yes. Mmmmm...

 

freak.
Squid and baby octopus are fucking yummy.

Snails are skanky.
