Apr 17th, 2014 - 11:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well, it took her hubby to jump the gun and propose her for VP, does that mean nobody else wants her, I think so. That does not mean she won’t “fight” for the job but if she is as piss poor fighting for that as she was for the stupid sods aka the Tupas, she will get left in the chrysanthemums (the pair farm them).
No we don’t want another complete idiot from the Mujica stable but she does at least fit that bill looking like the old broken down mare that she clearly is. NONE of my Uruguayo friends want her anywhere near the job, but I have to admit that none of them wanted “No Money Pepe” either, sensible people my friends.
So as the old twat himself said “but time will say and decide”.

Apr 17th, 2014 - 09:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Rh. Ferrugineum - commonly known as the Alpenrose, is a hardy dwarf species native to the Alps
Rh.Periclymenoides is called nudiflorum over here and described as an azalea. Native to East coast USA
I grow neither of these species.
I prefer Cinnabarinums, Crassums, Augustinii, Loderi and Sino Grandes.
In fact nearly all species and hybrids EXCEPT Ponticum.
As a matter of fact, I spent 4 hours in Benmore Gardens yesterday photographing the ones currently in flower.
I also went to Gallimaufry in Blairmore for coffee and a chat with the owners son about “local worthies”....interesting !
Are you interested in Rhododendrons ? If not, what is the point of the question ?

My point was that it doesn't matter.
Yes my initial post was wrong BECAUSE I could not be arsed reading the article. I had been looking at the posts on Venezuela and did not notice I had brought up the Uruguay section.
I saw...Mujica proposes wife Topolansky as the ruling coalition's vice-president candidate....and read no further. Typical Argie, Uruguayan or Venezuelan nepotism. End of story.
As to brainwashed monolingual Anglo Turnips.
Why do you think we are monolingual because we chose not to learn Spanish ? If we know enough to order a meal what else is there to know ?
If we lived in S.America, Spanish and especially Portuguese would be useful
In Europe, Spanish and Portuguese are of minor importance. If anyone from these countries want to get on in life, they learn English.
French/German are useful languages for culture and science...Spanish is for tourists.
Why do S.Americans bother to learn English ....you tell me !
Is it mandatory or is it because the rest of the world doesn't think Spanish is useful to them, so you need English or American to communicate..
As to brainwashed, at least we do have brains to wash.
I am not so sure about your chums.

If you disagree state reason
Stevie, the failed revolutionary socialist, you remind me of the speakers I used to see on Tower Hill, London, in the early 60's. They would mount their soap boxes and set right the world's' problems as they saw it .
No alternative viewpoint had any value.
It was almost messianic. The socialist worker's paradise was just round the corner. The problem for them was that nobody wanted it !
So they would climb off their soapbox and depart. Do yourself a favour and copy them !
I possibly do talk drivel at times, as do all of us. You are the exception, with you it is all the time.
We can continue our slanging match if you wish. Being “monolingual”-not true -my command of the English language and it's idiomatic use is superior to yours so it's one you will not win.
