I was confused because I cannot see the point.

I'm so sorry to hear that somebody is pretending to be Spanish to denigrate the GC's.

I love you (all) and your country almost as much as my Catalonia and If somebody offends you I'mm offended too


Hola S_s

The Spanish are like brothers and sisters ... I do not think he is truly Spanish. So do not worry, no one is offended.

But I think your English is getting better since a few months ago ... :D

You're very kind.

My spoken english is good, but I get lost with some expressions because I didn't speak it so much this days

On the other I write very bad because I'm dyslexic and most of the times I didn't realize when a word is not right written. (same in all the 3 languages I can write: spanish, Catalan and english)

Any way you all in this forum are so kind with it and nobody has never pointed at me for it.

Is dyslexia recognised by the Spanish Education Authorities, Spanish_spinne? Did you get specialised help through your schooling?

I am sure that, like most dyslexic people, you have some areas in which you are particularly gifted?

When I was a child Dyslexia in Spain was absolutelly unreconginzed and I had no help in my schooling. Now a days is not very different, they say they recognize, but they do almost nothing for the dyslexic children (I know it very well because my 13 years old daughter is and I quarry with the school every year)

In my case the problem was not so big because I can perfectly read, (in fact I can read from 2 years age) but not write and my mother pays special writing classes for me in a "special school" (I dont know if the concept is the same in english but I mean a school for people less "intelligent" than average) I learn how to write, but it was my shame all my childhood.
About being gifted, yes I can learn a language in very few time only hearing it (that's how I learn french, Italian and a little greek) but of course I cannot write it, and I also can read very very fast, a normal book (300 pages) lasts me a couble of working days or one free afternoon, no more.

Really interesting, Spanish-spinne. If you don't mind I will send you a PM about dyslexia tomorrow, because I am in New Zealand, and it is 02.00
in the morning here.

I have a severely dyslexic son, now 20 and doing computer sciences at university,( that is his special gift), and a daughter,18, less severely dyslexic...So, if its ok with you I would really like to talk to you through PM, as I am not sure this is the right thread or place to discuss it. :D :D

I hear, this evening, that the water in the Greek tanker is unfit to drink, still I suppose I shall be able to use it to wash my car :-)

No doubt Limassolians will be begging Peyis for some of their desalinated stuff soon!

Not surprised the water is unfit to drink, it's been on the bloody tanker for so long it's probably stagnant now!! :wink:

Am i the only one who thinks that they showed a bit of initiative in actually doing something about the water poblem? perhaps if the powers that be had been a bit more pro active we would not still be sitting here waiting for manna from greece... :wink:
