Hi Graham,

They are shameless. They get money this way. While I was working and studying to get means to live, me and my family, they had not to make an effort because they made advantage their position to make money. A lot of people wonder what kings serve for? They serve to amass money.

According to this article, the former King of Spain is millionaire, he had one o several mistress, he was involved in money laundering, he hid money en Morocco, he hunt elephants in Botswana and he charged commissions. ¡Great King! As he had not criminal responsibility he did it what he wanted it.

All of them is a big mess. Mrs. Corinna was unaware that the police officer was tapping their conversation (false), the former police officer leaked this conversation to the Spanish media (for money), Spanish authorities asked the Serious Fraud Office (it´s not my responsibility), prosecutors look for evidences (they don´t move), OHL said that all is right (false) and Spanish people know that all this is shit.

See you.

Good evening José,

I remember a time when it was unusual to hear a bad word about King Juan Carlos. I felt alone in voicing my dislike for him. I was always told he was the one who brought democracy to Spain and helped save it when it was in danger. He was Mr. Nice Guy while Sofia was professional but lacked his friendly disposition. In the end, he had to fall on his sword to try to save the monarchy in Spain.



They are shameless. They get money this way. While I was working and studying to create a better life for me and my family, they didn't have to make an effort because they took advantage of their position to make money. A lot of people wonder what the point of a king is. They serve to amass money.

Mrs. Corinna was unaware that the police officer was tapping their conversation (false), the former police officer leaked this conversation to the Spanish media (for money), the Spanish authorities asked the Serious Fraud Office to investigate (it´s not my responsibility), prosecutors looked for evidence (they sat on their hands), OHL said that everything was fine (false) and the Spanish know that all this is shit.



Enjoy your last day of work this Friday. I am sure you have already made plans to fill up your day though I hope you have reserved some time for studying English.

Man caught fly-tipping fridge in ravine fined and made to drag it back.

Hi Graham,

I don´t know if to laugh about this stupid man or to cry because there are men so stupid. The easiest thing is recycle a fridge in a proper manner and the most difficult thing is carry the fridge and tip it in ravine, so this stupid man chose the most difficult thing. He did it to boast that he was a tough guy. The worst thing is that his head doesn´t work well. I suppose that there are a lot of things to do in our life, but the latter thing would be throw a fridge in ravine, I think.

This man tipped a fridge to ravine, he filmed it in a video in which he and his companion laugh about recycling and said "recycling, let´s go, let´t see how many flips it can do". ¡What a joke! He worked, precisely, for a company that recycles domestic electronic equipment. It´s another joke. He was fined with €45.000. His company sacked him and it´s possible that it punished with €300.000. But the civil guard ordered to drag the fridge back up, they filmed the retrieval and they showed it to everybody could see it.

After he lost his job, this idiot man said that he is remorseful. He said that it was as though he were a murderer but he was wrong, he would know that he didn´t deserve the punishment for doing a crime but for being stupid. It´s not strange for me that both videos, yours and theirs (civil guard), were viral.

See you.

P. S. Spanish people can´t move from home without obligatory reason.

Hello José,

The thing about this case is that it wasn't only a one-off. There is another video of him doing the same thing with a washing machine. These domestic appliances don't appear to belong to him. He worked for a waste disposal company which didn't have any facilities to dispose of things. I imagine the countryside is littered with all the items they couldn't recycle.

The council in Inverness charges for the uplifting of large objects that people want to get rid of. However, there are recycling facilities where you can take these items. There is no need for fly-tipping. I have no sympathy with people who are caught committing the offence and handed a heavy fine. It deserves them right.

What really annoys me is people who never recycle. They don't separate the paper, glass, plastic and so on. I think they should be fined for failing to cooperate.

There is a lot of talk these days about doing the right thing for the good of society. Well, there are many simple things that we could do that would make life better for everyone - recycling and not are just a couple.

José,

I've just spotted a typo in my last reply - *it serves him right.
