Re: Travelling out this weekend....

hi, we've been swimming for 3 weeks, its cold when you first get in , but after 10 seconds lovely, better if the pool is in a sunny, not windy position. Casa Algarvia does a really nice steak, but so do many other restaurants - it is hard to find a really bad one here. The Portuguese are lovely - if...

Re: Save My Bacon.

Iceland at Guia - buy it from the meat counter- its better than the pre-packed stuff inside.

Also if you like it really thick, buy a gammon joint and slice it yourself

Re: 1999 Honda CRV - 125,000 kms. Excellent condition!

Hi,
would you consider an offer of 3000euros for this car ?
There was an identical one for sale on Angloinfo at that price just a couple of days ago ?
Please let me know if this is acceptable

Re: Looking for long term rent

Hello Mr Mole, your request really gave me good laugh. To me the first sign of a good potential tenent is that they kindly recognise the fact that they'd like to pay significantly less than the tourist rate.

Re: pool pump run times ?

in theory to keep a pool healthy you need to pump all of the water through the filter twice each day. So you need to work out the amount of water in the pool / the rate the pump operates at. However we have 2 pools 1 12x6 (with a very large filter / pump) and we filter that for 3 hours at lunch and ...
