yes x 2

We went to a milonguera in Belgrano after missing out on an official tango show. This was at the Armenian club and was pretty much like any other community club I've ever been to (except that it was in the basement and there was a lady in the bathroom selling jewellery). It was mostly older guys with younger women, but there were a few couples who were the same age (see photo).

The next night we went to a salsa club and a couple of members of the group (no names mentioned) got kicked off the dance floor twice for not knowing the steps adequately.

I don't think so.

Well, 'fessing up time.

Turns out Casi and Zen are known to each other.

Until Casi went wandering, we worked in the same office for the same company in Adelaide.

She had seen the Cellar while peeping over my shoulder while I was dwelling from work.

While overseas, she started lurking and eventually joined in.

I didn't realise, at first, but when I saw the vaguely South American pictures, I figured I would take a wild guess, and wrote the name of the only non-major city in South America I know of, being where my erstwhile colleage is presently located: Antafogasto (I still cannot spell it). It was meant to be a wild guess, but it happened to hit.

That was when I began to suspect. The tricky little minx.

No, wait, Minx is the third Adelaidean dwellar.

Now, it's my turn to be intrigued. Who is the 3rd Adelaidean dwellar?

Ignore my last question. I've got that one sorted.

And there I was thinking that Zen knew, but was being deliberately vague.

I think this is the soapie like thread that needs to be pensioned off.

You may be right since you're leaving. But you could do your new location here, or in a new thread, your choice. I can't participate because I know where you're posting from, and that wouldn't be fair to the guessers.

...but wasn't that a flash-forward dream sequence scene where you remembered that Rick knew that Sarah had seen the body in the boat-shed and might remember if she woke up from her coma ....

Say, Bruce, can you use your super-powers and check, does it look like I am posting from Adelaide, or Brisbane?
I'm in the former, but I think my ISP must go via the latter, because I sometimes get pop-up ads offering me Dates With Hot Sexy Blond Women In Brisbane (who look suspiciously similar to the hot sexy blond women I was offered dates with in Japan, but never mind that.)
