Orf to Chile

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by The Older Gentleman, Mar 13, 2009.

  1. For a couple of weeks. Taking The Doctor this time, as we're having a
    week's holiday before I get down to business, and I've always promised
    her that I'll take her there one of these days.

    A few days in Santiago, and Valparaiso, and the wine valley and then
    somewhere else.

    Being a geneticist, she wants to know if we can get to her Shangri-La:
    the Galapagos. They run tours there from Chile, so we'll see. If not,
    then we're going to spend a few days in the north of the country, by the
    Atacama. Nice and warm.

    Play nicely while I'm gone.

  5. She'll love it, I'm sure, but couldn't you take Spacker and leave him
    there?

  13. As Andy doesn't seem to be reading his SMS messages, the news is this:

    I have managed to secure one genuine official Centenary Valparaiso/Vina
    del Mar Everton shirt (after a false start or two, because apparently
    they're not easy to find - too right...)

    The bad news is that it was 40,000 Chilean pesos - £50 on the nose.

    Is all football strip this sort of money?

    you're wonderful.
    full price in the UK for an Everton shirt is forty but this being a
    centenary one I'm happy to pay more.

    shall I send you a cheque? guess we'll need to sort transport too.

    It has been said, I know.

    It's got EVERTON on the back, four stars on the front to denote four
    championships won, apparently. CRISTAL on the front (beer sponsors),
    plus '100 años'. I'm ignorant of all this regalia stuff, as you might
    have noticed. It's in rather vivid blue and yellow.
    Oh, and I made a mistake: I paid 30k pesos for it, not 40k, so that's
    only £38. Same price as back home, then. It's all good news today,
    innit?
    Nah, just leave it until the French Run, if you can wait that long. I'll
    bring it with me then. If you're desperate for it, I'll post it when I
    get home.

    they were champions last year. I have two of previous years so I know
    how bright they are.
    the money I'm spending this month, 12 quid aint going to make a lot of
    difference :)
    perfect. If I cant wait a month for a shirt I'm a very sad woman. but
    hey, that's been said before hasn't it?
