    I live in southern Spain and have a 60cm dish for rental visitors.Eurosport is on there free in German.Felt sorry for Vandenbergh when he was taken out by the muppet with the camera.I would have got up and decked him.

    The biggest problem with buying wine in the u.k is the price.Faustino V11 and Campo Viejo cost about £3 a bottle at our local wine merchant and my normal tipple Lozaniel is about £1.60.Best if you can get it is Sangre de Toro-translation is literally bulls blood-very nice.

    Half a bottle a day for me but at 2 euros a bottle of Rioja it should be good for me.

    I wonder how many people see CRC advertising a big discount and buying without even trying their LBS.I live in Spain so things may be slightly different regards pricing but I will see a price online and then when I go to my LBS find that almost always he will be quite a bit cheaper.It is probably the usual rip off Britain,but worth checking the local shops.Nothing against CRC- I use them for anything I cannot get here and they deliver to Spain free.

    Andalucia.I have been here 9 years and still love it.Apart from recent rain you can get out all winter.No good if you need to work though as country is in serious trouble.

    I am also in Southern Spain and Larsen TT for me too and grip not too bad on wet gravel as that is all we seem to have had for months.

    Big mistake as this will cause a run on the banks.I can see long queues forming outside the Spanish banks tomorrow of people getting their money out while they can.Spain is in such a mess that neither the government or the banks can be trusted.

    You can pay up to six years of missed contributions but having made voluntary contributions to get up to 30 years in they are not getting any more from me until I am near retirement age.

    The second one we had here in Spain at Lidl for €20 in January.Just needs a bolt to stop the arm twisting and you have yourself a bargain.

    Depends if you can trust the government with your money.In the nine years I have lived in Spain the contributions have gone from 40 years down to 30 and now back up to 35 years and I have to wait until I am 68 to get it.I am going to wait until I am close to retirement age and will pay it in a lump sum so that I get a full pension if it is worth having by then.I stopped working when I was 41 and still have 17 years to go.

    Costa del Sol is as good as anywhere in Europe for a holiday.For somewhere different you could try Malaga city.We live near Coin- about 30 minutes inland and find the beaches of the capital to be as good as anywhere and you won’t find a beach full of british tourists! Have always found the city to be safe and always something going on there.

    I am lucky to live near Coin-inland from the Costa del Sol where we have some wonderful mountain biking country that can be as easy or as difficult as you want and only half an hour from Marbella.
