We have fewer friends here than in our respective homes and sometimes it is too hot to leave the house.
Luckily The Simpsons are on four times a day and all the major American film companies have their own dedicated networks.
Prison Break (series 2) is on on Fox but has too many ad breaks.
There are at least six sports channels. When Boca are playing and Maradona is watching, the camera is on him more than on the players on the field. He often keeps what looks like underage eye candy with him.
I have been told that Maradona is a metaphor for what is wrong with this country. When Maradona was on the national side he was so good there was no need to focus on or encourage any other players. This meant the team depended on him and of course he let them down by becoming an irate coke-addled drunk.
It is the same with soya beans: they are the star of the Argentinian export economy but are over-relied upon and thus a potential cause for not winning the World Cup.
