Senyals de trànsit

Sóc de València, però fa molt que no visc a València. Hi vaig sovint, i tinc la esperança i la il·lusió que prompte hi puga tornar definitivament, però per ara no hi sóc. No passa res, sempre he viscut a menys de dues hores i mitja en avió de València... Bé, o ho estaria si l’aeroport de València realment complira la funció d’aeroport de capital de província, de la tercera ciutat més gran de l’estat espanyol. Per ara, no ho fa.

Not-so-Easy Jetting

As a British expat in Spain, I’m no stranger to flying. As cunty as it sounds, “I travel”. But this has only led me to notice various strange things which seem to happen every time I fly, and I'm sure you have too. These things include: • The Battle Royale-esque scenes that take place prior to boarding • The smug attitudes of Speedy Boarders • The surprisingly high probability that I will get sat next to a nutter The date: 23rd December 2013 The time: 11:05am The scene of the hate: Alicante airport Morale was high in Alicante that day and there was a definite festive spring in … [Read more...]
