We mustn't get Sosia upset......he is, after all THE MIDNIGHT something or other....wait.......Nocturnal Merry Wanderer....I don't know that that name fits him.....it reminds me of Robin Hood.

I was thinking of something rather more mischievous... (As he would say himself)

Thanks, the truth is a love playing around with the icons.And we have such a good selection thanks to David .
Sosia, you might get a black eye if your wife reads this... I hope she's as patient as my long-suffering husband.(At the moment of writing he's queuing to see a Rebelde concert with our teenage daughter).

You are hilarious, mate.
Y la poesía es un poco cursi, pero muy tierna. Pero vamos, que yo antes de mi transformación en anglosajona por autodecisión leía Bécquer y Espronceda y disfrutaba como una enana.

Sosia, ¿quién canta esa canción? Porque, también es una canción, ¿verdád?

Creo que la escuché una vez en la radio......Javier Solís?

CrOtALito.....nosotros solo vacilamos. Lo único en serio son las clases de gramática y vocabulario que uno aprende aquí.
