Hi Keith, thanks for another great upload! It’s hilarious how Jack’s ego handles the Oscar loss, especially the bit about his suit shrinking—classic Dennis Day. Actually, listening to these old episodes about travel and “night school” phrases really resonates with me right now as I’m planning a move to Spain. I’m trying to get my paperwork sorted, but the bureaucracy is a nightmare compared to the 40s! Does anyone here know if I can use a service like https://e-residence.com/es/nie-spain-online/malaga/ to get a NIE number remotely, or do I strictly need to show up at the station in Malaga like Jack would have had to do? I’d hate to miss out on a property deal while waiting for an appointment.
glad you liked the episode. Some funny stuff in there. Sorry, I can’t help with your situation With traveling to Spain. For readers of the comments, since I don’t speak Spanish so fluently anymore I can’t vouch for what the site says. Check it out at your own risk.
Thanks for the comment.
