or everyone who has spent more than a holiday in Spain & for whom some of the following are true....
1) You think adding lemonade, fanta or even coke to red wine is perfectly acceptable. Especially at lunch time.

5) You think it's fine to comment on everyone's appearance.
6) Not giving every new acquaintance dos besos seems so rude.
7) You're shocked by people getting their legs out at the first hint of sun - surely they should wait until at least late June?
8) On msn you sometimes type 'jajaja' instead of 'hahaha'

16) Every sentence you speak contains at least one of these words: 'bueno,' 'coño,' 'vale,' 'venga,' 'pues nada'...

19) A bull's head on the wall of a bar isn't a talking point for you, it's just a part of the decor.
20) You eat lunch after 2pm & would never even think of having your evening meal before 9.

22) If anyone insults your mother, they better watch out...
23) You know how to change a bombona. And if you don't, you were either lazy or lucky enough to live somewhere nice.
24) You're either a Los Serrano person or an Aqui no hay quien viva person.
25) You don't accept beer that's anything less than ice-cold.
26) The fact that all the male (or female) members of a family have the same first name doesn't surprise you.
27) The sound of mopeds in the background is the soundtrack to your life.
28) You know that the mullet didn't just happen in the 80s. It is alive and well in Spain.
29) You know the differenc between cojones and cajones, tener calor and estar caliente, bacalao and bakalao, pollo and polla...and maybe you learned the differences the hard way!

34) You know ensaladilla rusa has nothing to do with Russia.
35) When you burst out laughing every time you see a Mitsubishi Pajero
36) You have friends named Jesus, Jose Maria, Maria Jose, Angel, maybe even Inmaculada Concepcion...

39) Most women under 30 own a pair of those attractive 'Aladdin' style trousers with the crotch around the knees (you know what I mean!)
40) Aceite de oliva is 'muy sano', of course. So you help yourself to a bit more.
41)When women think that clear bra straps are in fact invisible.
42) When you can recite with the Vodafone lady that your 'saldo estestá a punto de agotarse.'
43) To avoid that cheap Eristoff vodka you have to ask for 'un esmirnoff'
44) When you know what a guiri is / have been called one
45) When you add 'super' in front of any adjective for emphasis
