Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Driving up to Bilbao last weekend, the motorway is a toll road. I paid €33.45 on Saturday and €0.95 on Sunday to finish the journey, I paid with my Wise card. It looks like Wise give the toll company 7 days to take the money or the transaction gets cancelled. I've now had both amounts refunded to my card.
I'll be driving back though France in a couple of weeks time, I'll see if Wise can do the same for the French tolls.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Found a great local tapas place 1/2 mile from hotel.
Nice to see different stuff to the island .
It's a lovely covered terrace and every 10 seconds, about 20 jets spray over us
It's 34c and needs it

He flies over in a few days.
Then Plymouth to Santander ferry. Then ride to Cadiz.
Just told him I'm at Portimao and he said he'd try to pop in.
And he's booked on same ferry home as me

Chemtrails to mind control the populous and further spread the microchips for those who didn't have the vaccine. Fact.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
A couple of weeks ago I had a bloke and his wife telling me how to spot the difference between contrails and chemtrails, they also told me I should use cash for everything, the Spanish government were causing the drought, they had an endless list of nonsense.
If a contrail is a thin line that disappears it's definitely a contrail. If it hangs in the air and spreads out it's a chemtrail.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
OMG!!! There used to be a woman lived up here that had all those arguments. The chemtrails had little nano bots in that would get into the human systems so we could all be controlled by 'the government' - which isn't a country government, it's a group of international people that have got together to rule the world!! And you can tell that they are chemtrails because it isn't possible for the vapour trails from airplanes to stay so clear when they cross (She's a pilot you know, so she is the authority!!)Pirahna wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 5:25 pmA couple of weeks ago I had a bloke and his wife telling me how to spot the difference between contrails and chemtrails, they also told me I should use cash for everything, the Spanish government were causing the drought, they had an endless list of nonsense.

But that stage in the lecture I'd lost the will to use words like perspective!!!

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Many years ago I worked with an American gent called Ed Wank*. That's all I have to say on the matter.
*He insisted it was pronounced 'Vaaaahnk'. Wanker.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
At work we have these German devices that are installed to monitor Signalling power cables for faults. They're called "Bender" Units. This is because the Company owners family name is Bender. They even offered to change the name of them when used in the UK to stop the sniggering but were told not to.
