I hadn't been to Majorca since I was 18 until this year and this is now our 2nd visit this year - the North bits are nice, mostly, we went through Alcudia on the way to being dropped off and there were loads of English bars full of cunts, luckily Ca'n Picafort where we are now and Cala Millor where we went at Easter don't have them awful fucking places, s'very nice. The weather has been fantastic for October, sadly we have to go back to the Grey Land tomorrow. Mrs D is going to retire next year so we might move to Espagna, we did think of going to Portugal but I can't get the hang of the fucking gibberish they talk, I can speak some Spaniel but I can't make out the words in Portuguese, sounds like those noises Welch blokes make and call a language. I am usually good at languages, I speak good German, OK French and Spanish and a bit of Japanese but some languages I just don't get, we lived in Thailand for about 2 years and the only words I could say were 'Howdo geezer' and ' Large Singha', Thai is all a bit sing-song to me, I like my languages like I like my coffee... or should that be sandwiches, fucked if I know. I was chatting to some Gerrmans the other night and they thought I was Dutch cos it's un-fucking-möglich for ein Englander to sprechen Deutsche!Have you considered a move to Catalunya....St George is their Patron Saint - hence the cross on the Barcelona badge and they like a bit of independence, they're very Grumpy at the moment, perhaps stay in Majorca it's nice there, the King has a place near Deia and I had my honeymoon near Canyamel. There are some good caves too......they're Blue I think, although last time I went in them I was 8 and half and there were far fewer Germans on the island. Have fun.
I like your idea that the Catalans are grumpy, I'd fit right in there, but I'm fucked off with all this nationalism and independence bollocks so we probably won't go there.
