Camp Nou



Hi, today I’m going to tell you about the Camp Nou.

Camp Nou is the name of the Barcelona Stadium; it was inaugurated on the 24th of September in 1957 for la Mercè which is the feast of Barcelona.
First the stadium capacity for 93.053 people and now it capacity for 98.787 people. It is the biggest stadium after Maracanà (Brazil).
Now there is a project on the table to renovate the Camp Nou. If the project is passed the new Camp Nou will become a very big and spectacular job.
The architect who led this project is Norman Foster, the same man who led the new “Wembley” stadium in London.


I hope that this project will be past soon.

Pepe Rubianes


Hello, today I’m going to write about Pepe Rubianes, because he died recently for a cancer of lung, he was an excellent actor and director of Spanish theatre. He made everybody laugh, and his best characteristic was the use of bad language. Pepe was very critical about Spanish politicians, sometimes made some controversial declaration about them, for example one day he said: “It blows my dick, the Spanish Unity”. He was originally from Galicia but since he was a child he had lived in Catalonia. He loved Catalonia and Catalonia loved him.
Rubianes had a lot of projects; he had traveled to Africa in many times and helped people from there.
For the last few years he performed the same show “Rubianes solamente” but he also did a show with four African women and others shows.

He will be sadly missed because as I said before Rubianes loved Catalonia and Catalonia love him.

Whisky


Whisky is, of course, very popular in Britain and in the whole world, and it is, undoubtedly, the national drink of Scotland. The only problem is that spirits are very expensive and whisky is the favourite of the spirits they sell alcoholic drinks for only nine hours a day, so, if you want to go to a pub and have a drink, make sure it is between 11:00 in the morning and 3:00 in the afternoon or from 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. If you are in London, the “closing time” is 11:00 p.m. A lot of people think that these drinking laws are absurd.

You find pups everywhere, people usually stand at the counter while they drink or play darts, but you sill not find them playing cards or singing normal pubs.
