    "Frio" Charge.

    It makes sense and cents but I've never seen that before in my life.

    It does not make sense because the fuller a refrigerator is, the LESS energy it consumes (up to a point; eventually you block air circulation). I would think a super chef would know that little detail. What annoyed (past tense) me the most about that particular little trampa is that hardly any of those chinos kept their coolers turned up high enough to even really make the beer cold. And then there is the sour draft beer everywhere. I gave up on drinking draft beer except at Bueller's.

    At the Carre Fucking Four they just hand you a bag. Here asshole, bag your own fucking groceries. I just stand there and wait them out. I flat fucking refuse to do it.

    Platinum Spark Plugs for Citroen C6

    Hi Fred-

    I checked out your spark plugs on EBAY. Their are many sellers. Price is 46 British Pounds (approx $75 USD). They ship to anywhere in Europe, Canada, Asia or Australia. You don't need to limit yourself to European mongers. There are many Canadians on this board. Ask Sunseeker who else is coming down. I'm coming from NY City late November). If you are stuck and any Canadian can UPS them to me in the states, I will be glad to bring them. You can PM me for my address. I just cannot buy them for you in the USA.

    Mountaineer.

    Looks like I'll have to ask a European client coming in to bring the plugs, or go locally to a company I know but pay through the nose.

    These import restrictions are so crazy, especially when the restricted item is not available locally.

    They have been watching too much tv, from the USA.

    When I was a kid, growing up (some will say that never happened) , when you and your opponent reached the futbol (soccer ball) at the same time it meant:

    1) you yield and politely let him have the ball,

    2) you sort of try to stick your foot or ass in his direction, hoping to gain possession, or.

    3) you nuke anything within 5 yards and if you got called, so what, the ref is a f*ing moron.

    That said, as I have matured (all things are relative) , I have been forced to be more gentile, given that my

    I once pulled an Argie up out of his chair by his fucking hair and he still wouldn't fight. But the weirdest and possibly most Argie thing that ever happened to me was this. I went to the gym and unusually I had to go somewhere right after. So, I was on the subte with my backpack with my gym clothes in it. In one of the smaller zippered pockets I had my lock. As usual I was wary of pickpockets while on the subte. When I got home the lock was gone and had been replaced with a little plastic figurine of a guy in a black and white striped jail outfit. The only other thing I ever had stolen was when Capt Dave's nutjob ho of a "girlfriend" stole my cheap wristwatch because it was shiny.

    Ok I don't actually for reals think it's genetic. I was still steaming over the issue when I started the thread.

    Cultural

    In either Italy and Spain they behave differently and that's probably because they have law enforcement and laws to protect pedestrians.

    I would say it's not genetic since even the monkeys when well educated are capable to follow a couple of rules and behave as persons while driving.

    Weird Argie things

    I have high hopes for this thread. I really like living here and one of the most amusing, yet frustrating parts, is the inability of most Argentinos to accept responsibility for anything. I think it's genetic.

    Anyway today I was standing at the corner in front of a kiosko waiting to cross the street. I was standing behind a parked car when suddenly this guy just started backing up obviously without looking and touched me with his car on my leg. I say touched because he barely hit me, I yelled HEY and he stopped. I figured it was over but the guy got out of his car and started yelling at ME! He started yelling at me for standing in the street, when I wasn't, the fuck backed up into the little handicapped ramp I was standing on.

    Thankfully I was dressed in my customary street criminal garb and was holding a cup of coffee, so I yelled back callate boludo, vete! And threw my coffee at him. He got in the car and left. I bought another coffee and it was over.

    Hoping to hear funnyish stories here but rants are permitted as well.
