Almost totally Spanish lingo here in Miami nothing against the Spanish speaking in general but you would expect more English spoken in a big Amercian city like this.

A foreigner, complaining about foreigners, in the foreign country?
Yes..one who speaks English in an English speaking country ;)

Yes Ziggy thats one way of looking at it but Tyrones own is closer to the point i was making.

Canaries islands might be a better comparison with it been Spanish but mostly English speaking anyways besides the language barrier Miami is well worth a visit.

Remember in Australia the Brits used always complain about foreigners, us Irish used always smirk or laugh. Those crazy Brits and their silly ways (says me in England  ;)   )

Shoe shops that employ people who do not know how to lace a pair of shoes.

How does this happen? Is there a gap in the market to create training for these gimps?

Sitting through adverts and suddenly remembering when the programme restarts, you're watching it on Sky + playback.

f**king Dell (insert any large corporation in here). The f**king operating of large companies grinds my gears.

I bought a computer from these fuckwits in april - and it has been shite since I got it. I have called them a number of times for assistance, or to discuss sending the thing back - but the calls get sent to some outsourced hell hole where I can barely understand the English being spoken back to me. It's soul destroying. Low and behold I am out of town and miss a payment on the damn computer and I get a call from someone in an office in Ohio or somesuch place, who you can be damn sure can ask you in perfect English if you want to make a payment over the phone and could you be so kind as to explain to them why you missed the payment!
>:(
So in my finest "hellhole" dialect I say I say I say f**k You Van Wilder Dell inc.!!!

Well it is 11.37pm there, so I wouldn't expect to hear anything back from them til the elephant blows in the morning.

I'm going there next week, so I'll let them know how unhappy you are :D
