Barcelona vs Paris

John Carlin, in a rejig of chunks of a 2002 article in El País, says that Barcelona, not Paris, is now Telegraph readers’ favourite city (where are the stats?). This has taken a while coming - the NYT did a head-to-head a couple of months back - but still: ouch. Here’s a more interesting (Spanish) [...]

el polonès i els africans

I thought ETA’s man on the run had lost it when he went AWOL from a Subject Nation of an Evil Empire with generally excellent weather to a Subject Nation of an Evil Empire where it never bloody stops raining, just in time for winter. But then it started snowing across northern Spain, and even Barcelona had a hail storm.

On Facebook, Trevor is eating saucisson de sanglier and starting to look like Obelix.
