Street nudism fine, says Barcelona council

That’s what this morning’s El Periódico says. The council is promoting it along with two naturist bodies, ADDAN and ALETEIA, and there’s a pamphlet featuring a naked woman up on Montjuïc. Now, the thought of naked girlies is likely to give immense pleasure to local coppers, who like nothing better than standing around in the shade watching a nice bit of tourist (or West African prostitute) arse pass, but they will soon discover that the people whose “civil rights” they will be defending will generally be middle-aged male smoothies. The pamphlet–2000 copies of which have been printed–is to be translated into English and French, despite my insistence on the urgent need for an edition in Czech.

   I guess that’s one of the drawbacks to hanging around with ultra-conservatives: stupidity and ugliness end up seeming like natural partners.

   So it’s OK to go with the zipper down, I guess. Good news for timids.

   The local textile industry is already in deep doo and the end of the protectionist Multi-Fibre Accord next year will destroy them, so I take it someone asked them what they thought about the Mayor of Barcelona saying, “Hey, clothes, who needs em!” Kaleboel says “Make a working man happy, wear a corset!”

   Mayor Clos was NOT at Cap de l’Agud last summer and he does NOT have a cock piercing

   I think we’re slightly losing sight of the fact that this is a serious moral issue. Just consider what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah: you can fly there for £29.50 with Easyjet.

   @M: And I take it that Mayor Clos was also NOT indulging in rumpypumpy with other blokes’ missuses?

    Nice man Joan, mayor of Barcelona,
    Not very rich, but not a serious moaner,
    Jaunty old Joan, a happy fifty-three,
    Not very tall, but healthier than me.
    He whistles timeless tunes as he saunters down the street,
    Springs in his legs and elastic in his feet.
    But in the middle of the night,
    He steals through your garden,
    Gives your hosiery a fright,
    And doesn’t say pardon.
    As soft as a breeze,
    With an arm full of underwear,
    On his hands and knees,
    Dreams about the knicker scare.
