But if you go to Lisbon, the Algave or the islands you'll notice that the accents are quite different from each other and from the northern accent. (Tuesday Sep 23 | post #10)

ECONOMY-PORTUGAL: Angola Rising
qI could use the joke used by the economist in the 1980's: "Portugal is the only African colony in Europe". However I do not say this with hostility. I like the fact that Angola has the highest growing economy in the world, and it's good for Portugal that rich Angolans come here for business and investment. (Sunday Sep 21 | post #1)
Interesting that the funny accent of Porto, sounding like a drunkard, happens because of a slight English influence. The Port wine started to be produced by English expats in the XVIII cent. You know that the English language is the only one in the world with so many diphtongs: aw, ow, ei, ai, specially the standard British English. People from Porto tent to put diphtongs in all the vowels the pronounce: "Aw Pawrto ei muito bau", while southern Portuguese, specially from the Algarve eliminate the diphtongs.

Passengers Force German Airline to Switch Jets
So, u know about planes. I have only flown to Europe. The longest flight I've had last only a bit over 4 hours. Nevertheless, I am always scared of flying, specially because of the take off. I would never take a plane like the one you took. The joke about TAP is because the staff is sometimes rude to the Portuguese passengers. It's a picture of ourselves hating ourselves. TAP is a good company anyway. (Sunday Sep 21 | post #6)

How as that possible? Climbing up without flaps? (Wednesday Sep 17 | post #3)

If your parents were PTs, there must be a birth registration in the Freguesia (county) where they were born. You must know where were they born, so as to ask for birth certificates. If you prove that at least one of your ancestors is Portuguese, it's yeasier fior you to get the nationality, but I think you must live in Portugal a few years and speak the lingo fluently.

A major cause in plane crashes during take off - also a major cause in all kinds of plane crashes - is flap malfuction. The passengers were right in demanding a change in the plane. (Monday Sep 15 | post #1)
A joke about Serbs told by themselves: Q - What's the simmilarity between Nokia and Serbia? A - Every year, both launch a new model which is smaller. (Thursday Sep 11 | post #132)
It's true that many gypsies are lazy and do not want to integrate honestly. But you BGers do not give a chance to them. Besides you're also usually lazy. I was there this summer. BGers work very slowly. Do not blame the gypsies about things you also do. Interesting that Bulgarians are also subject to unfair prejudice by other Europeans. So they are becoming less friendly to Europeans and starting to understand the gypsies. (Thursday Sep 11 | post #131)
Yes, I did. And I met especimens of that ethnicity called BG mafia. The later really stinks, and threats to spead to the rest of the EU. You are really a shame, coming up with that racist Balkanic ship. Hopefully, BG is a democracy now, so we can see that not all the Bulgarians think the way you think. Gypsies are human beings. They must have the same oportunities and duties as eveyone else. If some gypsies do not want to accept the later, then they must face consequences. But if they do, they have must have the same rights as eveyone else. (Wednesday Sep 10 | post #126)
Bullshit. Slandering excuses all the time. (Tuesday Sep 9 | post #124)
