1) Party season in Spain
During the whole of august Spain celebrates parties in every little village, town and city of the country. This picture was - quite obviously - taken during a bullfight. My opinion about Bullfighting is like that of the average Spaniard: I am neither against (if you are against bullfighting, stop eating meat altogether as breeding fat chickens in a large full shed is worse than breeding a bull in a wide open field you hypocrite), and neither in favor (hmm..poor bulls). And honestly I am a bit tired of the subject - not worth getting so exited about (although picture demonstrates otherwise). To totally shut up the 'contra's' I suggest that all bullfights should be done like this (follow video link). Simply one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.2) Atletico in the Champions League!
After 11 years yesterday Atleti smashed German side Schalke04 (0-4...how appropriate!) to reach the group phase of the Champions League. Hero of the night - as always - was 'Kun' Agüero - our small Argentinean number 10, scoring the first goal and involved in pretty much all of the play. 'Kun' has - however - doen something more impressive. He has turned Maradona into Atleti's biggest fan by....impregnating his daughter! Yesterday the great man could be seen dancing, crying, hugging, jumping, singing, swearing like any other roji-blanco. Maradona an Atleti supporter? Nobody would have thought that 11 years ago after we crashed out against Ajax in our last champions league performance.
3.) Madrid airport tragedy
No words needed really...

At-léééé-ti-co!
Finally in the last moment my uncle had to go to the first-tier box to see the game due to his job, going with his boss.
And he was sat down next to Maradona! Said hello and talked a bit before the game and in the half time too. Apparently he was very kind and even shorter than expected :) My uncle confirmed he jumped, clapped and cheered Atlético.
Now Fernando Torres is coming back to Vicente Calderón Stadium...
I distinctly remember your green face when we went to the real thing, the bullfight last year.
The moment the bull enters the ring is the most difficult one.
You know he will be dead, the bull has no idea. But then I never saw an animal going to a slaughter house either. You are very right,the bull had a nice life, but you forgot about pigs,they also have no room to move,during their lifetime. We should start pigfighting too...Maybe something we could intrduce in Norway..
Pigfighting? surely that would be a wild bore!
