It's called the Champions League. If (more like when) this metamorphoses into a more formal structure facilitating competition between the best teams of Europe without regard to artificial National borders - i.e. the foremost teams in La Liga, Premier League, Serie A, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, secede from said domestic competitions and go head to head in a full blown league structure, rather than the current artifically constructed (but financially rewarding) mid-week mini version - this would obviate your concerns about the petty rules of National competition. <a href="http://www.wiihomebrewguide.net" rel="nofollow">softmod Wii</a> | <a href="http://www.wiihomebrewguide.net" rel="nofollow">how to softmod Wii</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15808871.post-20974797789076825282011-01-02T07:16:31.537-05:002011-01-02T07:16:31.537-05:00The pro Catalan national team movement, created th...The pro Catalan national team movement, created the enclosed TV ad to support the Catalan team.

I am from the UK - not english actually but scottish/irish! I came to Barcelona first because I wanted to dance tango ( my Argentinean teacher lives here) and then because i needed to communicate I started to learn castellano. I am certainly 'guilty' of the ignorance spoken of here about Catalan and I only gradually started to realise that I was actually living in a place where Catalan was the mother tongue and not the 'spanish' that I was learning. Now, one year on and with more information and experience I can see how annoying this must have been for my mostly Catalan friends who were kind enough to speak to me in castellano and sometimes to change idioms socially so i could be included. What I would like to say is that because of the lack of information outside Catalunya it is quite easy to arrive with little or no knowledge of the culture and language and history of Catalunya. I have been on a rapid learning curve. I now live in another city, more Catalan,less multi cultural than Bcn, my partner is Catalan and I have recently decided to concentrate on learning the language and to stop my studies of castellano. Of course I need a language to be able to communicate a little - I continue to speak castellano but it is actually a relief to stop trying to improve. I found it very hard learning two language and every time I opened my mouth to talk I felt guilty for using the 'wrong' language. Sometimes people would look at me blankly and say 'I don't speak castellano' and although this felt a hard response socially it has helped me see that it is up to me to put the work in. It is all about so much more than just language and I can understand why feelings run so high but I have enjoyed reading this blog as there is so much information without the sense of frustrated resentment that can be easy to fall into. I want to learn and my UK friends who come to visit also want to be informed but of course they still make mistakes such as saying 'spanish' when they mean castellano or asking about my 'spanish boyfriend'. But I want to educate myself and others gently without jumping on them as I remember doing myself in my strong feminist days when someone dared to say 'mankind' or chairman' without including women.

Spain has not quite manage it yet but do not worry they are working on it and continuing the "fine job" that Franco began will probably be successful unless we become an independent country. <br />Ian...I know you don't like Salvador Sostres but I find him hilarious and he is right (whether politically correct or not).

En la demanda presentada ante el tribunal, el trabajador afirma que los catalanes vieron también en su día el programa 'Fawlty Towers' en catalán y se rieron a gusto porque "tenemos sentido del humor".<BR/><BR/>"Pero -agrega Juan Ignacio- la gente (del hospital) se excedió. Ya no se trataba de un chiste, sino de algo muy desagradable. Me hacían sentirme como un idiota. Resultaba ofensivo. No se puede juzgar a la gente por el país de origen. Yo era muy bueno en mi trabajo. Puedo aguantar un par de chistes, pero cuando se repiten sistemáticamente, duele".<BR/><BR/>El trabajador, que afirma que los insultos continuaron hasta su dimisión del centro hospitalario en diciembre de 2007, reclama una indemnización de 30.000 libras (32.100 euros). Otro trabajador del mismo hospital, un polaco llamado Marcin Likomski, de 30 años, también ha presentado una demanda contra el centro por insultos racistas.<BR/><BR/>El hospital y los dos jefes demandados niegan las acusaciones de los dos trabajadores. El tribunal laboral emitirá sentencia el mes próximo.ian llorenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480151992510686932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15808871.post-83994125868104431292009-01-14T10:49:00.000-05:002009-01-14T10:49:00.000-05:00I went to Barcelona almost one year ago for the fi...I went to Barcelona almost one year ago for the first time. It's a very likeable city, full of life, but I was shocked by the pro-catalan nationalism. All this fuss about the catalan language... It seemed almost anachronical. Europe is trying to get together, and it's not easy between so much different countries, and then there are 'sub-countries' like cataluna that can't stand speaking their common language, and even demand independance... :( <BR/>I'm French, and there are sub-entities like that in France too, like Brittany, Alsace, Corsica (though we should dump them for they're just a bunch of lazy mafiosi but that's another story), the Basque country... I can't imagine any of them asking for independance. Actually, I would gratefully accept English as the common european language if it could help us knowing each other and unite. So the cultural war cataluna is waging for its language predominance and its autonomy is kind of aberrant to me.Wintermutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254882243459846151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15808871.post-77877140346276134192008-12-05T07:37:00.000-05:002008-12-05T07:37:00.000-05:00Anonymous,You totally missed my point.
