Going to be off-line for a while - Jerez

I'm off to the flamenco festival in Jerez tomorrow morning for two weeks. I'll try and get to a web cafe regularly but cannot guarantee it, so please be patient with public posts awaiting approval.

Deepest sympathies Simon.

Two whole weeks of all that hot sunshine, crowds and all that noisy flamenco stuff. No
doubt you'll get dragged into those dreadful bars and cafes; all those smells of vino,
serrano ham, cafe cortado and pan tosta assaulting your senses. If you don't want to
go, you don't go (send me instead (-:)

Seroiusly, have a ball then make us all green when you get back(((-:

Jim.

Have a greate time Simon, any idea what you gonna see and whom ? or you'l just decide when you get there ?
gonna take any privates ?

Hey dont worry il keep an eye on this place, anyone steps out of line and il ban them ? can I be in charge while you gonne ?
I could be fair like ermm if two users where fighting and one insulted the other one than i would step in with calm but strong tone and say:
"- Hey hey thats not very nice man you shouldnt have said that now shake hands and be friends".

and thats just off the top of my head , ofcourse i will have different variations for different ocasions.

Hang out at penas, no concerts unless I get cheap tickets.

Might just learn a few falsetas from Fergusito and lots of practise outside a bar and see if I can pick up some local help

Have a great time Simon, wish I could be there!
A word of caution though....
I have it on good authority that British Intelligence has bugged the apartment.
So no discussions of Gibralter or anything suchlike

Looking forward to your in-the-field posts when you're sober enough to crawl into an Internet Cafe.

Have a Cubalibre for me and say hello from me to Diego Amaya if you see him!

cheers

Ron

Hi Simon,

Have a great time there you and your mom.

Take care of the sun and ask your mom for sun creme. factor 100

do not go with strangers, and do not drink to much.

Wash your face every day and do not go to late to bed.

(Have fun, have a ball)

Make us green when you are back.

Ed
