He was also interviewed on Thames Valley tonight yesterday. I still can't get away from the image of him as a dodgy second hand car salesman!!

10% of 50K a month is just £5K. Does that really pay for buildings?

£5000 a month?

That's still a LOT of money, Spacey.

Something I'd already heard about DLC but its good to have that story given a wider press. Given that most footballers could easily spare £5 k a month, its good to see at least one of them doing it.

Yes, it's a lot of money, I couldn't afford to give away such a sum, but I'm thinking in terms of properties. Over here, 5K is a piffling amount and would not buy a 1 room flat in Chelsea.

You really are a tit. 33000+ posts of crap.

You plank, Spacey

1. He actually sends back up to 20% of his income, so up to 10K a month

2. How many houses in an Equadorian village do you think you could buy with the same money as a 1 room flat in Chelsea?

3. Seeing as the villagers are building their own houses, do you really think the labour costs are going to cost much (if anything)?

its funny how spacey and other regulars think they are superior on this site, when infact they are one of the worst parts of it


posting shit for the sake of it, acting like you win a prize for post count

Er, I don't think I am superior and I never said I was.

Arse Rother does think he is, though.

well he's certainly superior to you.

Mr De La Cruz seems like a fantastic blok, just like Mr Goater. However he doesn't fill me with confidence when he plays. I think he loses the ball too easily in situations where he shouldn't and that are likely to cost us heavily. I'm not sure his passing is up to it. But he is a Royal and a great ambassador for the club. Happily by the man a drink if I met him.

Can't say that about most players I don't think are good enough for us.

Well, he is superior in being a twat.

Ahh, no there it's you that have the advantage my Dear 'Cruiser

[SpaceCruiser]

What about you? I'm sure he's superior to you in being a twat.

I have my moments

[SpaceCruiser]

Anyway, back to the topic in hand. I was not criticising DLC in any shape or form. I was just disbelieving that building things could be so cheap in Educador.

[brendywendy]

when people are earning £2.50 a week, and thats if they have a job, i think you'll find things have to be that cheap

supply and demand and all that

[Ian Royal]

when you can build a well in Africa for about a £5, what makes you doubt the story about De La Cruz

[SpaceCruiser]

Educador is not in Africa though.

[Ian Royal]

Educador is not in Africa though.

No it isn't. And nor is it England.

True.
