" I hate to say it, but it's the White Americans they don't like/trust/respect. There's a history of racial tention there - lonnnnnng story. Wear a "I'M NOT FROM THE US" t-shirt that sports any flag other than the US's or Mexico's(an even longer story), and you will be kings of the island. Man, I wish that I was there!!! By the way, you have to try the Arroz con Pollo, Carne Bif, Fried Plantains, and Ponche de Malta! “I don’t know what the Americans have done to upset the Puerto Ricons? ”

Good result for Spurs 4--0 Cardiff so through to the next round I wont mention Newcastle, it was a disaster. especially after we gave you that thrashing last week. Never mind theres always next year. We have gale force winds of up to 80mls per hour and rain, but quite mild at the moment. Kristine down in Sussex has gusts of 99mph. Snow drifts up in Scotland and the north East so forgive me if Im a teeny bit jealous. Hope you get some decent surf soon. loves you MomXX Hi David.
