Sparkymon moving on

Country forums / South America / Bolivia

Well the day is almost here, on Saturday Sparkymon will be leaving Bolivia with his lovely family and heading for more exotic shores. What a great guy and such a great wife and kids. We will miss you. Oh by the way thanks for the cheap TV and telephone. Take care guy.

Thank you Senor, very kind of you. I think tonight we may stop by the usual place to see the usual suspects.

By the way, what TV and phone :)

Take care mate, good to finally discover last week that we'd met already! Shall you be doing the same place this evening (Friday)?

PS got any spa pools going cheap?

Senor Stan,
I've got the early flight tomorrow so will stay home and behave. After last night's despedida, where I won the hurling match, I'm drinking gatorade and trying to recover :) Rumor has it though that one of the usual suspects will be bringing bloody marys to the airport tomorrow at 4:30 a.m. for a toss up!! Que vida!

Take care my friend, and if you're ever in Los Islas de Hispaniola beware of any blonde pirate capitans with a Fosters in hand screaming "YAAAAAARGH", because he may be drunk and armed.

I love Psychopubowners salutation, so will steal it for now. By the way yours is great too.

The older I get the better I was........ain't it the truth.

Hey Gents!

I'm now in Haiti and it BLOWS! Beautiful country but no/no infrastructure. I have to have water delivered as there's no commerical and my genny runs 24/7 as again there's no commercial. And also, I thought they drove bad in La Paz, holy shit. I wish I'd shipped a tank. Having said that, the housing is good and the climate is great. and and and, can't go anywhere due to curfews.

all fer now, The Sparkmon.

Sparky,

Glad to hear that the house is ok...shame about the rest...its not the same getting drunk at home.

I'm now in Mexico in a place called Concepcion de Oro in Zacatecas..I'm working for a copper/gold mine here. Oh almost forgot I got married last week and will be back in LPZ for the "official" wedding in Sept.

Good to hear from you.

Alright Doctor Sparky, good to hear you're settling in. No water, no electric and they speak French, poor buggers.

PsychoExPubOwner's after-the-event stag do is last week of September here in LP - will post any incriminating photos if you can't make it. Wedding in the Dark Tower penthouse was a good laugh till one of the guests got drunk and fell out of a window.

No it was only Old Tom, he bounced straight back in and was back in his chair drinking Black Label again before anyone could come to his assistance.
