Last
comments on this theme . . . I say 'Spanish in Spain' because I've
been told by shocked South Americans that things are not the same
over there. And here's something that many Spaniards don't know - The
word follar(to fuck) literally means to work a pair of
bellows. And to speed up grapes to make wine.
For
the love of God! There's some 'devout Catholic' nut from Nerja who
thinks only God can resolve the Gibraltar
mess. On this he might well be right - assuming for the moment there
really is an omnipotent God/Goddess - but this chap has decided to
try to enlist divine help by walking to Gib carrying a 3 metre, 10
kilo cross on his shoulder. And when he gets there he's going to go on
hunger strike. For 24 hours at least. Meanwhile, he hopes others will join him on his
pilgrimage. Which, unsurprisingly, turns out not to be his first.
Notwithstanding his efforts, God had not yet delivered the “No
more hunger, no more war, peace on Earth” which
has been beseeched of him. Possibly sleeping.
As
for said Gibraltar spat . . . The Spanish government has turned the
screw of pettiness a little further by banning exports of sand, rock
and aggregates needed for construction there, which I suspect is illegal under EU rules. It's also complained that its border police are being
insulted by people in the queues and having 'missiles' thrown at
them. Since the queues are essentially composed of people going into
Gib to work, I strongly suspect this is a Spaniard v Spaniard affair. And that the insults contain some of the words cited above.
Well, if you will piss on your own doorstep.
In
a further blow to Spanish aspirations, the EU has refused to consider
its (probably legitimate) complaint about alleged money-laundering in
Gib. Mind you, this is possibly another thing the Spanish government
would want to keep under a rock. It's not as if it's unknown here. Or
in next door Andorra.
Finally
. . . I've recently had 5 young women to stay, all in their early to
mid 30s. Not one of them, it seems, was ever taught by their parents
to change a toilet roll. And that, my friends, is why the world
is in the state it is today! Joder!
Which reminds me . . . I'm
not sure I didn't dream this but, by pure coincidence, I saw a
toilet-paper ad recently which gave a name to this failure to change
the roll, leaving the empty one in the holder. Can anyone help out
here?
