Thank you for trying to save our dear friend Michael's life today. I think it is him you are referring to. We are in shock and will miss him massively. He was a remarkable man.
And he died doing what he loved. Rest in peace dear Michael.
Topochines....you all, they all, did your best.
Depending upon the age of the victim and the reason for the arrest, the percentages of people saved by CPR are much less than 50%. And that's even when advanced life support shows up within...
wynrich, I will be pretty pleased if I can manage 12 - 15 kms per day, as right now I'd be planning around 10 - 12! As that rate of walking means it would probably take me 2 months to do the full camino, I'm loosely planning on doing what I can...

This may be true in some places, but I can show you many coffee bars in Italy with prices around 1€, using, for example, Caffè Illy, made with high quality Arabica and fresh milk (not UHT).
This sketch always makes me laugh but also illustrates a point; there are plenty of people who probably could have at least a basic conversation with you in English but for one reason or another (including lack of self-confidence) won’t or...
I guess they interviewed a lot of ex-pats. Some of the ex-Brummie coke dealers currently holed up in Marbella could, probably, hold a conversation in 38% English
