Para começar, esses 8 copos de vinho são subjectivos. Podem valer 0,000005 euros lá na tasca do bairro, como podem custar 10 euros em Bordeaux!
So what’s the problem, I’m a Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobiacs and I wish I was English.
Agora percebo pq nunca faço compras via Internet! N me digas q a gótica q está sentada ao meu lado vai ser uma dessas três coisas…impossível!
Muscles, muscles, muscles…
Terminando, sobre essa última consultem http://leteveryeyenegotiateforitself.blogspot.com/2006/06/uma-semana-depois.html
Comentando o comment anterior:
As "sex workers" tambem eram subjectivas. Os romanos que optavam pelas "tascas do bairro" tinham o que mereciam. Cheap bastards.
E fico feliz do nosso blog ter já alguem de fora a lê-lo regularmente. Vanilla, we love you. Quando o Nuno deixar de escrever bem sobre o Porto e pôr fotos dele posteriormente editadas fora pelo Ruben, talvez mais virão...
Obrigada Renato, é bom saber q sou bem-vinda e q afinal o Bicho tem amigos simpáticos!
Apoio o ponto número dois do comentário do Renato. Vanilla, és a maior. E aproveito para dizer, já que estamos numa tendência de crescimento do número de leitores, que estamos a lançar a campanha "traz um amigo". É isso, por cada novo leitor que deixar um comment no nosso blog, ganhas imediatamente, sem sorteio...um bilhete de Metro. (metro de Algés, aquele igual ao do Porto, sabem?)
E lá vem o Porto, outra vez.. Assim nem mais um leitor!
Lá por eu ter dito q n iam ter mais leitores n precisam d se acanhar e parar com a propaganda, ainda que pointless!:-)
