spain in the arse

Lovelightlisa, what's you're deal with spain anyway, ex-spainiard boyfriend or something??

 

The most annoying thing about Spain is that it's too far away from me!

I have an unhealthy obsession with Spain.

 

no it's actually really sad...
don't tell anyone...but i just really wanna go there...

 

Carry me Caravan take me away
Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain
Andalusia with fields full of grain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
Yes, I know you can

Trade winds find Galleons lost in the sea
I know where treasure is waiting for me
Silver and gold in the mountains of Spain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
Yes, I know you can

 

Hey Mr. Jim I can see the shape you're in
Finger on your eyebrow
And left hand on your hip
Thinking that you're such a lady killer
Think you're so slick!
Alright

Brother Johnny, he caught a plane and he got on it
Now he's a razor in the wind
And he got a pistol in his pocket
They say the man is crazy on the West Coast
Lord there ain't no doubt about it!
Well allright

Sister Sue tell me baby what are we gonna do
She said take two candles,
And then you burn them out
Make a paper boat,light it and.... send it out
send it out now..

Are you ready?Are you ready?Are you ready?

 

My aunt Brenda lives in Madrid, Spain.

 

Im in Cadiz right now and am going to Las Palmas next week. I love Spain. The worst thing about it is it's too close to fucking France. Talk about a shit hole...

 

Muahahaha


Na die mooie warme reis door `t zonnige Spanje
Vergeet ik alles, ik denk alleen nog Spaans
Heel m`n kamer straalt van rood en van oranje
De felle kleuren van de Spaanse zon en maan
De Spaanse furie heeft me zo verward
Dat temperament veroverde m`n hart

Ik hou van dansen en muziek
Eviva España
Van oude trots en romantiek
Eviva España
Een serenade aan `t balkon
Eviva España
Geef mij maar alle dagen zon
España por favor

In m`n handen klepperen de castagnetten
En de flamengo die stamp ik met mijn voet
Ik draag enkel Andalousische toiletten
En op mijn hoofd staat een grote zwarte hoed
Ik hou van vino en van cabial
De Spaanse keuken is een festival

Ik hou van dansen en muziek
Eviva España
Van oude trots en romantiek
Eviva España
Een serenade aan `t balkon
Eviva España
Geef mij maar alle dagen zon
España por favor

Ik hou van dansen en muziek
Eviva España
Van oude trots en romantiek
Eviva España
Een serenade aan `t balkon
Eviva España
Geef mij maar alle dagen zon
España por favor
España por favor

 

Hi! Are you from Spain?

 

From my point of view there are two major annoyances, both british.

Firstly, any fellow countryman that goes to live in Spain and makes no effort to integrate: won't learn the language, mixes only with other British people in "British" areas, treat the Spanish with disrespect, never learns anything about Spain nor wants to sample Spanish culture in any way.

Secondly, all the teenage loonies that want a two week piss up and shag-fest on the Costas or the Balearics.

These guys give all us Brits a bad name in Spain.

 

I totally agree with you, but I think there is a few group of people that went to spain or are going to spain only because they like the place and the language and they want to have a new experience and learn something else. I know this is a minority but there are some of them. And these people can' t be found in Benidorm or Canarias, they are found in usual cities out of the typical english destinations.

 

........tourists without manners, from no particular country....

 

Come again? I thought that's usually why people go vacationing, period. To have a change of scene, immerse oneself in another language (possibly) and because they DO like or feel an attraction to the place.

Why is this so horrible?

Bad manners is one thing, but they get what's coming anyway, don't they? Laughed at and smirked at for being blatantly ignorant foreigners.

 

exactly! that's what i was talking about....

 

My ex-girlfriend lives in Spain. She as been out there since September studying. She is studying Spanish and European Studies at University.

I went out to see her a month or so ago. Had a great time and fubbled along with my very basic Spanish. It wasn't too bad because she is pretty good at speaking Spanish - so if I got myself misunderstood she could help me out.

She lives in the centre of Malaga and it isn't very touristy at all. All the tourist are a little way down the coast in Torremolinos and Benalmadena. This suited me fine.

We got the train down to both those places a couple of times because the beaches down there are a bit nicer. It is basically England on sea - with a decent amount of sunshine rather than almost constant cloud and rain.

and full of either old couples who have retired, or 18 year old dickheads who have just been let out of their parents reach and who want to get pissed up on Spanish beer and fight.

The most amazing thing happened to me when I was having a final smoke before I got on the plane. I was sat outside the terminal building with my ex when this English woman, wearing tracksuit, bleached blonde hair, etc (im sure my fellow Englanders will know the sort)

Anyway she says to us.

'Excuse me love, do you have a spare Euro for the phone.'
Me and my ex had no change and we told her that.

Just across from us were a group of Spanish men also having a cig.

'Do you think they speak English?' she asked?

Then before we could answer shouted at them.

'OI ! DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH? CAN YOU LEND ME A EURO FOR THE PHONE? OH WHAT AM I SAYING? LEND? I MEAN GIVE!

The Spanish man just looked confused. At this point my ex girlfriend turned around and explained what the woman wanted in Spansh.

She then said to the English woman.

'Sorry he says he doesn't have any change.'

The woman looked surprized.

'Oh - do you speak their language then?'

'Yes' said my ex

'Oh right' said the woman 'What is it? DUTCH?

THAT VERY INCIDENT SUMS UP WHAT THE WORSE THING ABOUT SPAIN.

AND IT ISN'T SPANISH.

i didn't know if to laugh or cry.

 

Cool coincidence. Im going to study European Studies aswell, with a minor in Spanish. Plan on studying it somewhere in Spain for a while at least.

And that story, wow. Thats pathetic.
