yes, Bones is something really positive. We also say "Bones!", instead of saying hello, but in colloquial language, when you meet with a friend, or even a relative... but you would not say "Bones" to your boss, or at least i don't think it'd be too common. ;)

awww:blush: surely you've seen all of these expressions in the Metro, or for example, if you go to the Corte Ingles of Plaça Catalunya, or even in wallpapers! :D not now? how come?

no, Daryl! I wrote "caram", which is a catalan interjection that shows surprise. I was surprised 'cos of what you wrote to Julia: "Bones festes", i think. This was catalan, not spanish, you know? and i told all my friends and family Bones Festes these days, but i didn't expect you to write it. In spanish you would say: Felices Fiestas!

a start? do you feel something more than a friendship for this friend?

well, it may get usual but it's also a good thing, 'cos you'll remember these words. (that's what i do when i learn new english expressions, i try to use them, so in this way i'll be able to remember them, otherwise, i'd easily forget them). eres muy simpático it's a very common thing to say. Also, me caes muy bien / genial. or even... estoy tan bien contigo (but you could say this to a friend either to a lover)

"de puta madre" wouldn't make sense at all in English, that's for sure. it's just one of the spanish expressions which do not have translation.

Exactly, when you say "me gustas" it's as if you were saying to the other person " i like you" (and i love you somehow), and as you said it's too strong for saying to a friend, but you could tell him/her such thing, though. When you say I love you, people usually say: "te quiero" here. you could also say: me caes muy bien, eres muy simpático/simpática, eres tan agradable and this kind of stuff.

did someone tell you "me caes de puta madre"? do you exactly know its meaning? :P

*yummy* :wideeyed: i have never tried some of the foods you mentioned. by the way... how come you wrote in your signature "me caes de puta madre"? haha :lol: edit: my god!!! telepathy!!! :stunned: i wrote it before reading your post!

aaah! i think you're talking about "queso manchego", am i right? It's made of the milk of the sheeps if i recall correctly and it is original from La Mancha, that's why it's called that way. aww. then you had a mixture of foods. I'm sure it was nice, what's more, you had to chance food from other countries. Surely you tried something new you really liked! :nice:

oh, i remember that. Your lovely Grandmother!:nice: the whole flat for yourself?? lucky you! i'm glad to know you're working for a good company.

oh, yesterday? you mean at dinner time? yesterday i also had a special dinner, but only with my parents, which was very nice and they gave me presents, as well. cheese?? mmm.. queso... don't know the kind of cheese you're talking about, though.

OH MY!!! :blush: Daryl, may i ask you... how come you're working 'til 7am in the morning? don't you feel sleepy? 'cos if i were you i'd feel tired. don't you miss the fact of being with your family today?

ueee, i'm glad to talk to you today, Daryl!!! ;) I'm fine, i've just arrived home a few mins ago... our lunch lasted about (erm, let me count) 6 hours or so and now i'm not hungry at all!!! are you in manchester right now, aren't you? yesterday i tried to send you a sms, but something went wrong... :\ (though i wrote the code). Feliz Navidad!!! :santa: yes, i have noticed of that... i read some of your posts! :P *i am a stalker* lol

just be ready my angeel :wings: *singing* Daaryl!!! i found it!!!

@Daryl: i don't really know... i think it's quite hidden! i didn't expect to meet you here tonight! :dance: wait, i'm gonna look for it.

aww, gracias Julia!:nice:

Merry Christmas Julia!!! caram!!! :surprised:

Mike, i couldn't avoid to log on in to read your poem!! beautiful!:blush:

i know that, Daryl, you've met loads of new ppl, you told me :sneaky: and what's more, you've so good luck these days! Give me a little portion of your good luck to me. haha, must be curious to meet people from your own city here!!! :dance: i haven't travelled a lot, but you'd probably meet this atmosphere in London - i don't really know - anyhow, the weather here is way too better than over there. and yes, you're right, it's very cold here these days, although i thought you were used to that cold, 'cos in Manchester the weather is colder than here... right?! :P

Annie!!! i really think you deserve your own thread!!! *waves to Annie*:kiss:

aww, Daryl! :surprised: you mean the best thing you ever did in your entire life was the fact of moving to Barcelona? i just can't believe it, but i'm glad you have already found a place where you're really happy, where you feel you belong to and what's more, even more if this place is barcelona!!! :wacko:

marianitaaa! :kiss: i wish you have a lovely trip in europe, take pictures, huh? and post them on cp! i remember you were afraid 'cos of the aiport but i'm sure you didn't have any prob over there. lon's heahtrow airport has always been quite hectic! and i wish a merry xmas and a happy new year to all of the lovely ppl from coldplaying. wish ya all the best!:D:kiss:

OH MY!!! :o that's completely laziness! haha i'm gonna sleep, im feeling tired. good night Sally:kiss: and Judy:kiss: speak to you soon.

like all the previous years but it's great to end a year with a good taste in your mouth! :) i'll only have 3 exams - weird, huh - structural determination, biochemistry and chemical engineering. They usually last about 4 hours. and after doing my last exams i'll have 2 weeks off, i suppose i'll take advantage of them and i'll work a few days.
