Earlier interviewed a Madrid-based Argentine: "Why do you want to come to live in Ireland?" "I have a friend there and I love the UK."

I'm finding interviewing people to be quite an enjoyable process although it's somewhat painful when you realise somebody isn't up-to-par.

  • A Week In Spain
    I recently took my first holiday since April 2009 and it was long-overdue. I had decided to take up the very kind offer of my friend Alfonso to go and celebrate the festival of San Fermin in his home town of Pamplona, Navarra an autonomous region the north of Spain. I had a brilliant time [...]
