Alfonso,
Cuando dije autodecepción quería decir self deception
Dice que no eres intelectual y que los intelectuales son gente aburridora,
pero frecuentamente nos indicas que eres intelectual citando obras
de literatura, escribiendo en italiano, refiriendo al idioma de grecia anciana.

Jane,
George Clooney? Thanks, I needed that. You are a bit of a mystery to me.
Are you a student studying English in Madrid? I think most English speakers go to smaller towns like Salamanca to study, so you're probably not a student. Do you or does you spouse have a job that brought you to Spain? Are you from California? If you think I'm prying, I am.

Just one question, George, why do you think Jane is from California?

Quite. Why don't you keep guessing? It might be fun...

Voy a meterme donde no me llaman, but only because the world is a big place and I wouldn't want Poli to have to guess 49 more states (in the USA) and then start with the other places where English is spoken.

Poli, have a look at a few posts from Jane, and take note how she spells certain words.

So I was off by 6000 miles. No big deal
It occurred to me that Jane may be one of Maria Jose's alter-egos, but, that was just in passing.

She's my friend, but not one of my alter egos. We've been seen together. Ask Alfonso...

It was quite obvious since the beginning that Alfonso, Gemma and Jane were from the same place and that they were "friends" or acquaintances.

I love everything that has been going on with this post....its like "opening a can of worms"...

One thing though, why would anyone think that Sosia was a woman?

Another thing, Alfonso do you have a deep voice?

Jane thought Sosia was a woman because his name ended in -a.
This is so much fun: why would Alfonso have a deep voice?
And yes, we are friends and we live in the same city but we come from different places.

I´m still laughing my head off...
Rusty, how do I spell certain words? Can you give some examples or better still, why don´t you take a shot at guessing where I´m from...
Poli, You´re so sweet!

Me too. Gemma and Iris are more than enough for me. Besides, Jane is a great friend, so I'm glad she's real.

Just one of the millions of people who love her dearly.
Waiting for more of your sweet guesses about yours truly...

Jane, in almost every instance where possible, you've chosen the British spellings, so I would guess that you're from the UK.

Good one Rusty.......

Since I already have this mental image of Alfonso, I also have this mental image of his voice.......and for some reason, an accent when he speaks English....

Have you guys noticed that David has not partaken in any of this?

I wonder why.......

David?

Poli.......blonde, muscular, hazel eyes, wears glasses which makes him look intellectual, about 6' and there's something "wild" about him.....hmmmm
