Re: Why can't the Spanish invent?
Others claim that "In May, 1886, Coca Cola was invented by Doctor John Pemberton a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia. John Pemberton concocted the Coca Cola formula in a three legged brass kettle in his backyard."
I know which claim I believe.

Re: Why can't the Spanish invent?
Was only talking about the FRAC man this morning and it would appear that the opposite is now true in Valencia because the people know that they are throwing good money after bad by using his services.
People either wont or cant pay now and arent bothered by him anymore.
In the good old days the preferred method here was to stalk the debtors wife especially if they had kids at private school and ate at good restaurants. The husband soon paid up.

Re: Why can't the Spanish invent?
Did not the Spanish invent the garotte ? It's popularity seems to have waned of late, but perhaps it is because the Spanish prefer to use cars to kill people. It is much less effort, just put your foot down and point.

Re: Why can't the Spanish invent?
Maybe they haven´t invented much but they are good sportsmen - Rafa Nadal, football, I discovered yesterday that 5 of the Liverpool team are Spanish !!!
I used to be indecisive but now I´m not so sure.

Looks like the only inventions involve a stick

Re: Why can't the Spanish invent?
if it was the spanish that invented the siesta, then that alone is worth a lot more than many other more complicated inventions that other countries have come up with !
Re: Why can't the Spanish invent?
According to what I read on this and other forums, I thought they did a pretty good job of inventing multi-layers of red tape!

What about the other sports? We had more gold medals in the last Olympics than they had medals in total!

Re: Why can't the Spanish invent?
Might be worth more to the Spanish, but given that I can't think of too many countries that have adopted the siesta, just could be that it's the Spanish that are out of step. Not ever having been a fan of the siesta, personally I'd rather work straight through and finish at 5pm, than go home, have a sleep, go back to work, and then work until 8-9pm.julian wrote:if it was the spanish that invented the siesta, then that alone is worth a lot more than many other more complicated inventions that other countries have come up with !

Maybe they can't invent, but judging by the email I received today, they have learned to copy.

Frank, excuse me but how can you say Rafa Nadal is no good? Who is the number 1 at tennis at the moment in the world?
