Disclaimer & comment rulesJust like the UK, “No Money Pepe” spent fuck-all on the roads system giving it instead to the stinking idle “poor” that infest MVD and some outlying areas.

Had they have maintained the railroads all the bulkers could have used them instead of having to use roads with no sub-base and only 25mm of tarmac rolled on top.
Absolute fucking cretinous arseholes the Broad Fraud.
And you are still in Uruguay...

Either you are masochist or full of it...

Apr 01st, 2015 - 05:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You have never tried to research Uruguay from outside the country, that is for sure. If you had you would find very little about the failures symptomatic of the Broad Fraud because Vasquez was considered a good guy (for SA - my comment).
“No Money Pepe” has been acknowledged as a complete disaster and deservedly so. Under his malfeance the budget surplus had gone in 2013 to be replaced by loans that will take at least two generations to pay back: all this for a population of 3.3M, and yes my wife and I are in the census.
I realise being an argie it is difficult for you to tell the truth but I have no problem putting the reality to this board.
I wonder who the rest believe, me or you? Ha, ha, ha.
You'll be leeching medical care, why do you care?

Apr 01st, 2015 - 09:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ah, the downright lies have started.
I know you are not Uruguayo because ALL, except the filthy miniscule number of government hospitals are private.
When we came here on holiday in 2010 my wife needed some prescription medication and it cost about half of what UK private healthcare does including “emergency doctor” and the medication.
We both now have monthly healthcare insurance and all we pay on top of the insurance is the nominal fees for consultation, prescriptions and rayos-X's. Non-urgent consultation is 83 UY Pesos (about GBP 2).
Go back and re-read my penultimate paragraph in @ 3 and stop lying.
We both know you started up a company as a farmer, laughing about not plantning anything, only to get access to the free workers health insurance...
Apr 01st, 2015 - 10:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0ChrisR, ignore the silly sod Stevie ... er, Guzz. If he were Uruguayan he'd know that the taxes payable on even a small farming operation (independently to its success) are far, far greater than the healthcare insurance and related costs for two individuals.

Yes, I know whatshisface is a knob head but I need to put the point over for the late comers. It won't be long before he has another breakdown though: the periods between them are getting shorter and the breakdowns are getting harder to overcome.
Did you have a better season with letting your property and did the couple come over from Argentina this year? The mother of my next door neighbour (used to be company secretary for Chevrolet Argentina) was 92 YO in December, lovely lady with a lovely family, pity they only come over for 2 months.
The season seemed far better this year than last with the Inglesia cark park teeming with argie cars every time we went shopping and the ones local to us had tenants all season.
Thanks for your comment, it is appreciated. :o)

Spent most of the Uruguayan summer in UAE visiting son and family; also got to Bangalore, Goa and Seychelles. My usual Argentine tenants for PE were unable to come - had a Uruguayan family in Jan and French in February.
Most of the Argentine owners in my block of flats have put their apartments up for sale. Starting to see arrears in payment of condominium expenses. Clearly not members of the K gang!
Nevertheless, there were still plenty of Argentine number plates in Tienda Inglesa parking lot today. Gone by Monday do you reckon?

As long as we have their money!
Seriously though, the best time for us is when all the visitors are gone and the weather is still great as it is now.
Hope the coming winter is as warm as last year, never lit the heaters once. It beat the UK summer hands down. :o)

Apr 04th, 2015 - 01:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0We can but hope regarding the weather. So far it's been good enough for an hour's brisk walk along the beach, every single day.
Sorry to note that President Vàzquez is thumping the Argentine drum regarding “Malvinas”. He knops prefectly well that the vast majority of Uruguayans are pro-Falklands. A Uruguayan “Malvinista” is a rara avis indeed.
Turncoat Nin Novoa, who spends time in his millionaire girlfriend's waterfront property on Punta Ballena will, as ever, do whatever he's told. He's the one who forgot to mention an estancia in his tax returns a couple of years ago.
Glad to hear you are enjoying the Uruguayan weather Chris. Judged by some of your recent comments I was begiining to think ROU was the last stop before Hell in your opinión.

Apr 04th, 2015 - 07:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“ I was beginning to think ROU was the last stop before Hell in your opinion.”
I am dismayed that you think that of me, when have I posted anything that made you think that?
Uruguay is a lovely country, spoilt only by the scum of the Broad Fraud and the idle, stinking poor who make no effort to improve their lot other than take the hand-outs that 'No Money Pepe' robbed from hard working Uruguayos (the teachers included) to pay for the scheme. How will they ever be anything but poor and living on handouts using this approach?
Providing the tax breaks for jobs, real commercial jobs not the 600,000 government and monopoly ones, would go a long way to reduce the tax burden for real workers in the country.
Government jobs do not provide genuine tax revenue, just the illusion of them.
The government are quick to legislate but up to now never have real co-enacted enforcement measures in place, hence we have under-age children riding motos without helmets (new law to enforce that using Policia Caminara JUST been enacted) and the list goes on. I think the record for inbred stupidity goes to a women with three VERY small children on the back of her moto! Crazy or what?
The medical services to people with the money to pay the mutualista insurance are VERY good, no doubt about that at all and nearly everyone I have met in the (almost) four years I have been here have always smiled at me and tried their best to help me.
Our new next door neighbours and their extended family are the best we have ever had in all our married life and the Argentine family who live the other way are equally as good but we only see them for two months in the season.
The health of my wife has never been better and the weather allows her to cope with the chronic conditions she has much better than in the UK.
Does this answer you?

Apr 07th, 2015 - 09:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0“Uruguay is a LOVELY country” (glad to know that you have already discovered its charms '-como el Uruguay no hay-'), “spoilt only by the scum of the Broad Fraud and the idle, stinking poor who make no effort to improve their lot other than take the hand-outs that ”No Money Pepe“ robbed from hard working Uruguayos....” “How will they ever be anything but poor and living on handouts using this approach?”
Most simply, Chris: through wording affinity: by living on HANDS UP!s. Haven´t you heard, for example about those LOVELY people, the “rapiñeros”, the freshmen of this original University of Montevideo´s streets..?. I,sincerely, wish your four years luck to continue if you meet them. Do you know that the Police dares not go into some neighborhoods..?

Apr 07th, 2015 - 07:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am sorry to inform you that the biggest problem by far in MVD is the crime caused by your fellow argies, mainly those stemming from drug trafficking so you will know all about that I suspect.
I do not live in MVD, nor even visit it, except to collect high value electronics and the like for my casa which is situated along the east coast. We have very little crime where I live and that only during the season when the miscreants argies follow the other argies on holiday.
They are easily spotted and the Policia are shit hot on getting them off the streets. The record so far in one go is FIVE, handcuffed together and thrown in the back of the local Policia UTE.
Thank you for your sincere good wishes.

Apr 07th, 2015 - 09:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The situation regarding crime has deteriorated in Uruguay over the years, admittedly, but to be criticised by an Argentine (of all people) on this account is astonishing. Perhaps he doesn't read Argentine papers or watch Argentine TV news.
@ 16 ynsere
Apr 08th, 2015 - 11:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0I know, laughable in the extreme, but they are argies after all and live in a country with no problems whatsoever!
Frankly, when the season is over the Policia tell me they have very little crime apart from the few drunken friends who fall out with each other and start shouting at the top of their voices and that's it.
When I first came here I couldn't get used to having to manually lock the outside doors (my main UK house having dedicated electromagnetic security ones) and I was forever leaving them unlocked: no tengo problema!
The amusing thing is that my Argentine neighbours always tell me how bad it is getting with crime in BsAs and the 92 YO matriarch is always pleased to buy vegetables from the local market because 'the ones in BsAs are vile' (her words).
@ 6 Argieuruguayo
Wrong again!
It was not me you idiota, it was an American friend who has a hobby farm and paid BPS so that the mutualista HAD to take him into their scheme because he was over 65 YO and they would not have accepted him without the legal requirement.
You must be so proud to tell lies for a living.

I bet your head hurts and your temples throb, don't they? Remember what I told you recently? Breakdowns occur more frequently and last longer if you fail to stop the causes.
So stop with the lies and the unjust name calling, or rather, don't: I couldn't GAF, nor Isolde, nor Ilsen, nor ynsere, nor redp0ll, nor all the rest on here that you have lied about and disparaged.
THAT WAS THE FINAL WARNING! Continue at your peril.
Hear, hear Chris.
