Thanks, bbrv.

One caution : The contents had better be generally impressive, otherwise you risk being accused of unjustifiable hype, especially with this type of "surprise" marketing.

Of course, a less risky strategy would be to go for an "OKBundle", or possibly "NotBadBundle", or maybe "JumbleBundle" - let me know when you feel you need my marketing expertise...

That illustrates my point nicely, thanks.

Given the present _is_ a pair of socks, which prelude would give rise to more disappointment and frustration when you actually open it :

"Here's you present - happy Christmas."

or :

"Here's that smashtastic pressie I've been working on for you ever since that last Christmas, the one I've been winding you up about for four months! Go on - betcha can't wait to see what's inside!"

Mind you, if they were hand-knitted of yarn made from the giver's own navel fluff, you may have an alternative reaction...

Free? Gee, does it include Wayne Hunt, Martyr for hire Cards? Will he autograph them gratis, or will we have to pay him?

Dynamic or static, free or for fee, improve over time, or no, this is pathetic.

Excuse me, Mr Hooligan have you tried to stop drinking fecal waters?

Or as you hooligans don't have a clue about drinking and find cheap alcohol here maybe you don't know that if you drink too much "Sangría" and "Kalimotxo" you may end up with dhiarrea, specially if it's of bad quality, or maybe it's because you get drunk drinking 10 litres from a "fregona"'s cube (a cleaning recipient) and then go to the beach puke over yourself and sleep when the sun is higher causing you dehydration of your brain...

BTW the water is perfectly good here, don't drink water from fountains if you don't see some text like "Agua potable", and if your intestines are so weak you can buy bottled water.

If you go to spanish restaurants you will probably have less intestinal problems because we usually use detergent to clean the dishes... not like in other countries..., the water of the restaurants is always bottled water...

have you actually been in Spain? have you eaten in Spanish or foreign restaurants? I say that because I find amusing the behabour of some tourists, without any interest for the local food/drink... when I go to other regions I try to eat dishes that I couldn't eat in my region... for example, going to Finland to eat in spanish restaurants, only to meet spanish people would be quite stupid IMHO... If I go to any country I try to learn things about that place, I try their food, their drinks...

You sound like a racist ignorant.

@Raffaele, Crumb

First of all, I did get dhiarrea when I visited Mallorca, but that was ten years ago. Plus, I forgot a smiley.

As me being an arrogant rasist.. oh boy. You couldn't be more wrong.
When I did mailtrading in demoscene, I had contacts in 20-25 different countries, had contacts of all races, with different religions and opinions. And we all got along just fine. In fact, got along so good, that I spent quite a long time in Eurocharts voted as oen the best swappers.

ps.my girlfriend is russian.

ps2.I never called spanish contact of mine a rasist, when he asked if I have ever bumbed into a polarbear on my way to school. I kindly explained that no I have not, usually forest-rangers shoot all loose polarbears.

Just to clarify something a lot of people confuse. You should never drink
water from the local network in any place you go that is far from home.
Your body is used to a specific water substance. In other places there are
other other microorganisms in the water for example. I had dhiarra when I drunk
water in Crete, some other Greek islands and the UK, while the water was
perfectly OK. So no, it's not that the Spanish water is "bad" it's that you're
not used to it.

Well sorry for my message, I guess it's the heat, we have around 41ºC here in Sevilla... you wouldn't have problems with the water now because it would evaporate easily ;-D

@Alkis:
I guess it depends a lot on the quantity of Clore used to kill microorganisms... in some places the amount is higher than in others... I lived 10 years in a town were there was a fountain which gave water classified as non-potable, well, many friends born in the town were used to drinking that water and had no problems with it... the same water with some clore would be classified as potable. I've drink water in different zones and never had a problem with it... it's easier to have dhiarrea eating non-fresh fish or seafood than drinking normal water

Strange concept!!!

When in the water there are microorganisms... ...simply it is classified as non-drinkable (everywhere in civilized countries)!

At least there can be microorganisms onto the container surfaces that the water can touch or onto the pipes exposed to exteriors like in drinking fountains.

By the way, why don't we start a water-flavour survey like it happened sometimes for the wheater climate here on ANN?

I start by myself.

I live near Naples here in Italy.

Depending from day to day it may vary from a taste of subtileness upto a flavour that i classify as "water good as milk" that is the water I prefer.

Water here is extremely good to rise up the quality for an espresso coffee or the taste of a pizza when you mix it in the dough.
More than in the city, because I am served by the water of the springs that once upon a time (1890) served whole Naples.
Yes, they have lesser quality water than I have regarding coffee and cooking...

But I think it is strong in calcium (and if true, so not good for kidneys)...

...and in summer it is too many full of little bubbles but no sparkling (and I don't know if it exceeded in oxygen or chlore) so I prefer to wait before drink it.

How is your water?

OT, but about the Spanish water comment...
.
I'm trained as an analytical chemist and can say I'm pretty convinced that Spanish drinking water isn't up to the quality of much of Northern Europe, but AFAIK it *still does* conform to minimum EU regulations, so it's not "dirty". Spain is (we might have noticed) a hot country, and microorganisms thrive in the heat. Also, the water supply is likely to be concentrated in reservoirs from rainfall or lowland rivers, and not from marshland or mountain streams which filter it as it is in cooler climes. If you travel to Scandinavia or the northern UK, the water is drinkable for everyone, not just the natives, and actually quite tasty. The further south you travel, the less reliable the water is, and the worse it tastes. This is true for all of Europe, not just Spain.

Well minimum??? I don't know how is the law in Spain but here in Italy if microorganism level is more zero (0) simply you can't drink it...

Simply, easy... legal...

I hope these arethe standards in all EU, ormaybe is the moment to change something and mainly regarding the things I am about to tell you all...

For example after repairs to the tubes (in every countries) water it may be coloured by metallic salts, but here in Italy people refuses to drink until it flow clean (even if advised by authorities of full drinkability)...

For Example I prefer more water from acqueducts. And I read carefully labels of mineral waters...
Because for the italian laws water from acqueducts must have zero per cent (0%) of such thingies like HEAVY METALS while mineral waters are allowed to contain it...

Yes, the *SO GOOD* EU regulations admit for the mineral water, discrete percentage of metals such as:

Arsenic

Lead

and so on...

(And Italian government was so happy to welcome hurry such a regulation!!!)

MAINLY...there is another fact I can't bear...

For the EU, every merchandise of waters, from 2 years ago upto now, it can bottle and sell common water...

...and sell it under the info-label of "Drinkable water".

It could be more honest, because "drinkable water" here in Italy must have no addition of any heavy metals...

BUT it is silly if you note that the firms of mineral waters sell this "drinkable water" in packages and bottles similar to their mineral water printing the invoice "drinkable water" soooo tiiiiiny...

I could consider it as a *trick* to sell common water spreaded as a expensive mineral water...

(If you don't read the label carefully you may not notice it)

And it is a real business for water merchandise firms even considering the fact that mineral water *IS* the real *business*.

Infact production cost of a mineral water are derisive respect the gains a mineral water returns.

Irrilevant... acqueduct water must pass thru decantation pools and be filtered...

Ifnot naturally at least forced mechanically...

But if a government refuses to apply good methods of cleaning, we can only complain about that...

> If you travel to Scandinavia or the northern UK, the water
> is drinkable for everyone, not just the natives,
> and actually quite tasty.

At least Good work of cleaning...
I can't believe that you can drink it in its natural places *naturally*...

Not the water serving London for example...

But certainly in mountain regions, where springs are everywhere, and are pure and the same springs are used by acqueducts you can to...

Like for example Pennines and Scandinavia...

>The further south you travel, the less reliable the water is, and the worse it >tastes. This is true for all of Europe, not just Spain.

I live in the region of Naples and the water is good because it cames from mountain'springs not plains rainfall or something...

And it is southern Europe...

At least in many states of USA water is added by fluorine
(reduces incidence of cavities in teeth)...

...and by a recent law also iodine
(avoids goitre and cretinism in childs, and it is common to know how they are strongly exposed to these disease when living far from the sea)

I think it is a good social service to add these substances to water, and I hope that the state of Texas improved it...
