FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Why is your blog black?
Because the color black is common in Portugal, black is chic, black is cool, black is british, black is discreet.

Why good news only?
As a good form of art, this blog will not be totaly coherent. Eventually some bad news will be focused. I decided to start this blog to save three entities: myself, my family, and Portugal.
What is good for this country, is good for me. All the serious and long lasting problems here are very well known, so let me give you just one quick worrying blog justification: Portugal is among the european contries where bicicle is less used. That fact, combined with other bad statistics that need not to be mentioned, makes a very dramatic social/cultural picture, that needs to change very fast.

Why writing in English?
O inglês é mais do que a segunda língua em Portugal, está em toda parte, é quase uma lingua oficial, e reflete a necessária internacionalização do País. Roubo de carros chamam "car jacking"... Apesar disso não é tão falado como se imagina, ou como deveria. O Governo de José Sócrates implantou finalmente o inglês obrigatório no ensino primário, em 2005!(!?!!!). Is that good news? Anyway, since many portuguese rock bands sing in english, and we do need to exercise, so, why not?! Lets do some conversation, portuguese is 100% welcome too! (please correct my language mistakes).

Can the readers send good news contributions?
Oh yes, please!! Thank you so much!!

Will be there good news from other coutries too?
Yes, Portugal Good News Only is just a name. We really need world wide good news.

Isn't Portugal Good News Only an over sized name?
I like big names. There is a huge multinacional ice cream company in the USA called "I Can't Belive It's Yougurt". There is also a very important rodeo competition called "Bull Riders Only". And there is a famous cooking product called "George Foreman Lean Mean Grilling Machine".
