Re: Where to live in the world on 2500 euros
if you can't survive on 2500 euros a month in many, many parts of europe there is something seriously wrong. 1000E on rent (easy for an apartment or even more outside major cities) leaves you 50E a day for food and fun. would be easy to top up with the odd job here and there too. plenty of places in...

Re: Phone addiction
Only carry a dumbphone. Was obliged to get a smartphone to access banking via 2FA but it doesn't have a simcard so can only be used with wifi and thus stays almost always on a desk. I can recommend doing something similar for those with phone addiction.

Re: What's going on in Argentina?
castellano in south america is about as different from spanish castellano as scottish english is to, say, nz english, which might appear negligible to an english speaker but quite a bit more significant a difference to a new learner of english.

Re: Is this the end of Rugby?
rugby is supposed to be a running game, or at least you would hope it is
in three of the bok’s finals they have scored zero tries. all up they’ve scored two tries in four finals and won them all.
that's a damming statistic
