Asturias is not Spain, or at least not in Bray, Co Wicklow.

Asturias is not Spain, or at least not in Bray, Co Wicklow, and bottom right are the toys thrown out of his pram by the author in order to underline his point. For those who doubt that I took the photo in Ireland, here are two more of a microwave designed by Korean anthropologists for the Irish market. The instructions:

    The text above, in Polish, seems to be some sort of a joke. It says – “Por desgracia, estaba yo, borracho, como siempre… Le pido perdĂłn a usted por la confusiĂłn. Juro que quiero a España y a todos los españoles, especialmente a todas las españolas…” I guess that some ‘Hiszpanki’ can be expensive.
    By the way, Roman Giertych, as far as I know, is still a minister responsilbe for education in the Polish goverment. Last year he publicly expressed (I think it was during a session of the EU Parliament) his admiration for General Franco.
    Anyway, great blog!
