Mark has an interview in Worthing on Friday!!
I don't know anything about the place, but I'm so excited with the possibility of living near the beach! And half the average rainfall than Manchester!!

Oh, yes, good morning everyone, did you have a good weekend?

He's the only one being interviewed
So I think it's more a formality and to try to convince him to join. The main problem will be to find me a job, but I'm not too bother, I have some savings and could do with a month or two off.

It will be a good reason for me to travel to somewhere else I've never been.

There you are
And if you're feeling brave, we can make and adventure of it and drive to France. Eat some good cheese, drink some good wine or cider, enjoy the sun... Oh, I have to stop thinking about it, in case he doesn't like the job...

Oooo! how exciting.

Half the average rainfall of Manchester
is still a lot of rain!
(, Tue 15 Jun 2010, 9:07, Reply)
In average it's even less than in Barcelona
But in Barcelona you get heavy storms 5 days a month, rather than lighter rain 10 days/month. Still a lot better than the average 15days/month in Manchester (August for all of them).

I think I'd rather live in Barcelona than Worthing
And I've not even been to Worthing.

Me too
If it wasn't for those silly catalans and their stupid "You're in our country, speak our language"; and the discrimination you get if you try to sort anything out in Spanish. And I was born there.

I was amused by the drain covers in Barcelona
Some of them have Spanish writing on them and some have Catalan.

And no, I don't know why I was going around reading drain covers...
(, Tue 15 Jun 2010, 9:15, Reply)
In theory, everything has to be written in both languages
You get fined if you don't do it (shops, menus, prices...) However, the goverment always takes a lot longer (read: forever) to process the fines on busnisses (too many "s" there) that have everything in Catalan, but are terribly quick in charging you if you have something only in Spanish.

Were the drains Gaudí style or what?

Unfortunately not
I just noticed the agua/aigua difference initially!

Hahaha
Were you very drunk/stoned and everything seemed misterious?

I studied Gaudi in my history module of my degree
I like his park, I want to go there.
(, Tue 15 Jun 2010, 9:34, Reply)
the park is ok
there were too many cunts there when I went, and the weather was shit.

His houses are awesome though, and la Sagrade Familia blew me away.
(, Tue 15 Jun 2010, 9:39, Reply)
I agree with you
Although I've been in the park several times and when the weather is good, it's very nice. But I prefer the houses and the Sagrada Familia. It'll never be as he planned, though, some stupid people are stupid, and then the law is stupid as well and protects them. Stupid.
(, Tue 15 Jun 2010, 9:42, Reply)
it is stupid
the modern sculptures they commissioned for one end are a bit shit really. they look like robots.
(, Tue 15 Jun 2010, 9:48, Reply)
Well, what can we do
We are only public, and we know nothing.

BTW, I thought about you on Sat morning, having my croissant and café for breakfast in Nantes. It's lovely down there. And the bakeries are brilliant.

how sweet :-)

I was planning to take a picture, looking all smug and that
But forgot the camera all the 3 days for breakfast. You'll have to use your imagination.

I intended to recreate the smug man photo when I was on holiday
as we had a balcony type thing, but I forgot to buy croissants :-(

How sad
You'll have to go on holidays again, I fear.

I think so!

This time tomorrow I will be leisurely packing for my 3 o'clock to Girona
By night time I'll be in a restaurant around Blanes stuffing my face with food and wine.

I'm not sure what you're doing there
But you might be dancing like in Andalucía, not Catalonia. They'll get very upset (I do) if you ever say that Flamenco is a Spanish thing, because it isn't.

You should
I do

No offence

You bastard

I REALLY hate you.
Those are two of my favourite places (were. 25 years ago anyway).

Worthing's alright, yeah.
Been a couple of times. Lots of old people.

So he says
We might consider living somewhere else, maybe near Brighton, but we have to look at house prices.

Next door to brighton, which is fun

(, Tue 15 Jun 2010, 9:09, Reply)
And expensive!
I'll need to find a job myself down there. He's got to ask if I have any possibility of getting anything within 2-3 months.
