Sunday Mornings… ahhh

This was my reading material this morning, I was suckered by the El Mundo offer of a free book, Spanish history from Trafalgar to the court of Charles IV. It’s free and it’s good practice, all in the past tense so very useful. I was happy to find El Mundo quite an easy read too, although it was full of Spanish Cabinet politics. Zapatero has just been sworn in for his second term and the government posts have been announced, so there were pages of profiles of politicians I’ve never heard of. The papers seem obsessed by the Minister for Equality, who at 31, is the youngest member of the government in Spanish history (I can’t remember how old Pitt the younger was when he was PM but it was under 30 I’m sure). I like seeing the different focus in international papers, the only british story is the end of feudalism in Sark and there was a feature on Juande Ramos (apparently some football training bloke for Spurs) living in Chigwell. I think next week I’ll try a different paper, there’s a million of em.

    Aquí está el hombre de la cuerda :D

    No te tomes muy en serio lo que leas en El Mundo, es un periodico de derechas muy conocido por su total falta de objetividad y rigor informativo.

    Te vale más comprarte un comic :D

    Me divierto con tu blog… es curioso como alguien de fuera reacciona ante cosas a las que estamos acostumbrados.
