Been to Costa da Luz on holiday once years ago (much better than the Costa da sol) and then lived in Alcaidesa (near La Linea) for a year when we spent a fair few weekends over Tarifa way. Like the vibe there (more surfer) and not so many russian gangsters/hookers or Brits in Football shirts as on the other side ;-)

It took a Spanish thread and rumours of a Scots gangster to smoke him out... They're after ye Frankie boy!


ETA: FFS!

Me encanta esta parte de Espa?a tambi?n, visito la zona dos o tres veces por a?o. Comparto un piso all? con otros cuatro amigos en Conil de la Frontera y han estado yendo all? durante 20 a?os. Yo lo echo de menos cuando no me voy con bastante frecuencia, y yo necesito desesperadamente para practicar mi espa?ol!! Me gusta la idea de un foro biling?e, por lo que no se deje intimidar por la negatividad mentalidad cerrada!

Since when has it been acceptable to swear and abuse and call someone an arsehole on the forum because you do not agree with an opinion? I wonder if Admin finds this acceptable?

This also shows the dangers of allowing posts and threads in entirely foreign languages.

Semantically speaking it really translates as silly-billy. My dad taught me that word when I was still living in Spain when I was about 3.


Do feel free to report it to admin to bring it to is attention.


But don't worry, there's no danger, I've a sneaking suspicion there's a Spanish speaking moderator out there keeping an eye on things.

It was upfront Razors. Just happens to be in a language you don't understand. If the thread was titled say 'West Ham Supporters in Dulwich' would that bother you if you weren't a fan? I sure it wouldn't. This isn't any different. It's just someone trying to get a group together of people with something in common. Writing it in Spanish would certainly bring to the attention of those it's aimed at more than if it were it English.

Disagree on both bogus points as would anyone reading the thread. It is entirely reasonable that a local internet forum in France would be in French, in Germany German etc. If people want to start a forum (not thread) in another language other than the language of the forum (country) they are in-thats completely fine and unless you read/spoke that particular language there would be no point in joining that forum as you could not be informed/participate or enjoy could you.

Why dont we start threads in hundreds of other languages only and see how long the forum lasts.

    • I can't, but I'm sure ChatGPT could, if you ask it! With Windows 11, you can share documents, eg with work colleagues, via a setting. Probably it's the same with iPads etc and the solicitor has accidentally or deliberately shared it with your friend? I'm sure the solicitor can explain it if asked. Hopefully it wasn't an accident!
    • Yes of course a lot of it is total bollocks. And of course the House of Lords is ridiculous. But the class system etc isn't because we have a "royal family", is it?
    • Can't remember where I got them, online somewhere recommended by my daughter, but they are cloth and brightly coloured and fit quite tightly around my nose and mouth. I've still got a stock of them. Tissues inside might help a bit,  but if you have a very runny nose you basically need to keep removing the mask to blow it. Luckily I have only had to go out once when I've had  a bad cold. Sorry, probably too much information.
    • To be fair to Royalists, it didn't work out too well for anyone last time we canned the monarchy. I'd imagine quite a few French, Germans, Spanish, Portuguese and Russians had second thoughts after they' found out what you get in their place - those really didn't work out well. Maybe elected heads of state only work well where there's never been a monarchy. The countries I'd aspire to - the Scandinavian states, The Netherlands - have slimmed down monarchies, and that looks like the way we're moving. I'd take that and abolition of an unelected upper house, most particularly the hereditary element of it, as a decent starting point.
