or you can always get bruxinha's advice

But of course, just thought its a good read and answeres a lot of questions so as give Bruxinha a rest

Why thank you ROTCIV.

I am attempting to write a book at the moment on a similar theme but it won't be on the shelf for some while I fear, as I am only up to page 10 at the moment.

In return for your compliment, I promise I won't have a chapter entitled "Portuguese men and how to deal with them". Tá bem.

Sorry Bruxinha, this is only one of the two guides that you will need for all about Portugal x

good luck for your book

let us know when it's done,

good job we're not all the same (portuguese men)

boa sorte

I think the more books people read about relocating the better. Then you can get a wide range of opinions, as opposed to limiting yourself to one person's prospective. I mean I could read and write about what is meant to happen in Portugal but what actually happens on the ground is another matter when you live here.

I also think a lot of the books try to cover too many areas and, therefore, don't give detailed and good advice. I now know an awful lot about buying property and the things to look out for here on a streetwise level but I don't have that knowledge, say about employment law etc.

I am sure you are a very nice bloke ROTCIV. I have a fantastic Portuguese male friend up in Lisbon. Unfortunately, I have just met plonkers here in the Algarve. C'est la vie

Just to let you know, a Free CD-Rom of the Smart Guide to Living in Portugal will be in this Fridays edition of The Resident - thats according to the Friday the 14th October edition anyway!!

G. and myself 'plonkers'

Bruxy ( or should I call you 'Honey ?), you little witch - shame on you

I am fitting new Exocet rockets with night-sight capabilities to my Cessna - watch out or you could get a rocket in every sense of the word

Now now dearest Roy...I only meant Portuguese male folk.

English and German males are of course reprived, especially ones with rockets on their planes x

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh Did someone say

Exocet Rockets fitted with night-sight capabilities..............

Roy unless you want your night lights knocked out....

Will you stop playing about with my Broomstick and return it please....or next time you go Night Flying.. ..I will send up my squadron of female Nightriders to force you down


From the Leader of the Chapter of Silves Nightriders.....

Since your offer of being forced down by a squadron of female Nightriders my phone has never stopped with requests to join me
