i'd live in spain

For everyone who has spent more than a holiday in Spain & for whom some of the following are true....

1) You think adding lemonade, fanta or even coke to red wine is perfectly acceptable. Especially at lunch time.

2) You can't get over how early bars & clubs shut back home - surely they're shutting just as you should be going out?

3) You aren't just surprised that the plumber/decorator has turned up on time, you're surprised he turned up at all.

4) You've been part of a botellon.

5) You think it's fine to comment on everyone's appearance.

6) Not giving every new acquaintance dos besos seems so rude.

7) You're shocked by people getting their legs out at the first hint of sun - surely they should wait until at least late June?

8) On msn you sometimes type 'jajaja' instead of 'hahaha'

9) You think the precious aceite is a vital part of every meal. And don't understand how anyone could think olive oil on toast is weird.

10) You're amazed when TV ad breaks last less than half an hour, especially right before the end of films.

11) You forget to say please when asking for things - you implied it in your tone of voice, right?

12) You love the phenomenon of giving 'toques' - but hate explaining it in English

14) You don't see sunflower seeds as a healthy snack - they're just what all the cool kids eat.

15) You know what a pijo is and how to spot one.

16) Every sentence you speak contains at least one of these words: 'bueno,' 'coño,' 'vale,' 'venga,' 'pues nada'...

17) You know what 'resaca' means. And you had one at least once a week when you lived in Spain.

18) You know how to eat boquerones.

19) A bull's head on the wall of a bar isn't a talking point for you, it's just a part of the decor.

20) You eat lunch after 2pm & would never even think of having your evening meal before 9.

21) You know that after 2pm there's no point in going shopping, you might as well just have a siesta until 5 when the shops re-open.

22) If anyone insults your mother, they better watch out...

23) You know how to change a bombona. And if you don't, you were either lazy or lucky enough to live somewhere nice.

24) You're either a Los Serrano person or an Aqui no hay quien viva person.

25) You don't accept beer that's anything less than ice-cold.

26) The fact that all the male (or female) members of a family have the same first name doesn't surprise you.

27) The sound of mopeds in the background is the soundtrack to your life.

28) You know that the mullet didn't just happen in the 80s. It is alive and well in Spain.

29) You know the differenc between cojones and cajones, tener calor and estar caliente, bacalao and bakalao...and maybe you learned the differences the hard way!

30) On a Sunday morning, you have breakfast before going to bed, not after you get up.

31) You don't see anything wrong with having a couple of beers in the morning if you feel like it.

32) Floors in bars are an ideal dumping ground for your colillas, servilletas etc. Why use a bin?!

33) You see clapping as an art form, not just a way to express approval.

Secrets You Should Keep From Your Partner

It starts out simply enough: Two people get together, they share some wine, they go back to one’s place, their relationship grows, they laugh and they fight, and they become-tada!-a couple. And then something happens:

They're supposed to share everything with each other. Their fears. Their dreams. Their thoughts. Their bills. Their medicine cabinets.

And that's when this simple little romance starts to get complicated.

In most relationships, there's such a thing as too much sharing-and I believe that a little discretion at the right time in the right situation is not only a good thing, but also could actually improve relationships.

As long as you're not breaking the relationship rules-like playing tonsil hockey while the goalie isn't watching-then a little mystery can be a good thing.

Here, five secrets you should keep to yourself-because not saying something will actually speak volumes

You Don't Turn Me on Right Now

Granted, there will be days when your partner walks into the room and everything sparkles-moments like these make us count our blessings. But there are going to be other moments when your woman looks less like Cindy Crawford and more like Broderick Crawford, and when your guy is less Hugh Grant than Lou Grant. But when the occasional fashion faux pas or haircut from Edward Scissorshands comes around, swallow your tongue. If you want him or her to wear certain styles, compliment what you like, and ignore what you don't. Eventually, they'll get the message-but without the hurt feelings.

I Flirt With Others at Work

The stats don't lie: About 40 percent of men and 35 percent of women have lusted after a co-worker-without ever making a move. Even if you have no intention of taking it anywhere, nobody wants to think of their significant others spending 8, 10, 12 hours a day around flirtatious and attractive co-workers, especially when they look, smell and behave at their very best. Want to share sexual secrets? Confess your attraction to Hollywood celebs, not the co-workers in the adjacent cube.

I Can't Stand Your Friends

Your partner's circle of friends probably come in three different categories: a perfect package, nice enough, and how the hell can the two of you be friends? In that last category, there are all kinds of crazies-maybe she's too controlling, or maybe he's a bad influence. Whatever the case, know your audience. You may not like the friends, but your partner has more history with them than with you. So while they may not rank high on your personal list, keep it to yourself. Boxing out a man's friends is a relationship deal breaker, according to 83 percent of men we surveyed. And 62 percent of women would end a relationship if a guy doesn't get along with her friends.

I Still Think About My Ex

While it's natural to think about your ex, the Internet has increasingly made exes a bigger threat than ever before. The phenomenon of searching online for one's ex, which the majority of Americans admit to, can really make your partner jealous and fearful-especially since the phenomenon of people reuniting with very old flames has recently exploded (again, because of the Internet). You put your exes in the past; do the same with any conversation about them.

I Can't Live Without You

Why? Number one, it's not true; you can live without them. And number two, the key to a successful long-term relationship is to ensure that you've got your own life. You can say I love you, I enjoy you, I desire you, I appreciate you. You don't say I can't live without you. A partner should never feel trapped. He or she should be making a choice every day to be with you. And you, with them.

En 10 islas desiertas naufragaron las siguientes personas:

• Isla 1: 1 italiana y 2 italianos
• Isla 2: 1 francesa y 2 franceses
• Isla 3: 1 alemana y 2 alemanes
• Isla 4: 1 griega y 2 griegos
• Isla 5: 1 inglesa y 2 ingleses
• Isla 6: 1 australiana y 2 australianos
• Isla 7: 1 argentina y 2 argentinos
• Isla 8: 1 japonesa y 2 japoneses
• Isla 9: 1 irlandesa y 2 irlandeses
• Isla 10: 1 mexicana y 2 mexicanos

Un mes después en cada una de las islas sucedió lo siguiente:

• Isla 1: un italiano mató al otro para quedarse con la italiana.
• Isla 2: los 2 franceses viven felices con la francesa en un "menage a trois".
• Isla 3: los alemanes hicieron una programación semanal para tener sexo con la alemana.
• Isla 4: los 2 griegos duermen juntos mientras la griega esta haciendo la limpieza y cocina para ellos.
• Isla 5: los 2 ingleses están esperando que llegue alguien para que les presente a la inglesa.
• Isla 6: los 2 australianos arrojaron a la australiana a los tiburones y declararon a la isla paraíso gay.
• Isla 7: los 2 argentinos se pelean por ser el presidente de la isla mientras la argentina en un ataque de histeria feminista, sigue hablando de ella misma de como puede hacer todo lo que ellos hacen y que ellos no piensen en tocarle ni un pelo, que son poca cosa y va a esperar a que allí naufrague un hombre mejor que la lleve a otra isla donde la respeten como mujer.
• Isla 8: los japoneses y la japonesa crearon un grupo de trabajo interdisciplinario basado en respeto mutuo, inventaron un fax con las hojas de las palmeras y cocos, enviaron un mensaje a Tokio y se encuentran en espera de instrucciones.
• Isla 9: los irlandeses dividieron la isla en norte y sur donde cada uno abrió una destilería y después de unos litros de güisqui de coco, ya no recuerdan si han tenido sexo o no con la irlandesa. Sin embargo, lo importante para ellos es que los ingleses no están ahí.
• Isla 10: los 2 mexicanos están durmiendo la siesta todo el día, se hicieron compadres, se pusieron apodos, se empedan juntos y cada uno de los 2 pendejos piensa que la mexicana solo coge con él.
