01-01-0009 New Life



September arrives and with it the best of summer: the end. Half-dead at the stake in August, reached Miraculously the new month begging for a few degrees less, and some good expectations. Until two years ago the vineyards were black laborers to get ready to cut grape pruning shears, and now see them day laborers and the desire to play at a bunch mechanical harvesters, and (of fucking) is life. A little less than it was for the merchants of the city, then enter the sales for 15% more than last year is to see not one, but two or three songs on the teeth. The same need to make the Andalusians, according to a study, the English are more slow to adapt to work after the holidays, because there are there a million of them do not have to adapt to anything because it is permanent and forced vacation. In Jerez know much about it, more than anyone, and therefore would expect that the basket was the cheapie from Spain, for nothing, our city is among the 20 most expensive. Or here people draw oil from under the rocks, or is it lying to his ears. At least a few of our fellow citizens will touch the tax increase is announced, and here the trend is to have only two "classes" of citizens: the nadaeuristas and mileuristas , so that the sonarnos middle class starts to Chinese. Speaking Government, as the accounts is not to leave, but leaving fatal not only come raising taxes (say only the rich, but where most take it in indirect taxes that put us directly all!), but now it seems that autonomy will be 6,000 million to the State, was not it the state that you should chorrocientosmil million to autonomy?, is it that we are not all state and autonomy at the same time? I, particularly, what my being English Andalusian due to my being, I make what my be due to my being Andalusian English, and holy Easter. No work, at least it seems that we do have Jerez environmental awareness, as the City gives us a clean points Phones to take all types of waste, and so we learn to recycle more and better. Hopefully the recycling and composting The Calendaring and operates as recycling and composting plant, because the last news we had of it was that illegal dumping is in better sanitary conditions such plant. Indeed, the Guadalete still feeling like shit, every few months or Becerra Sanchez sold us the bike from the crystal clear (we are still blushing presentation at the Expo of Zaragoza), and then beating around the bush, as always, we demand NOW! a bath of the Mayor and Delegate to the height of the Plains of Ina, or rather a mud fight, but what's there is mud. And since we are on the mud, muddy the situation of those without work, but also of those who have it and not charge as Cojetusa workers, who are already announcing industrial action. Whose fault is it, the company does not pay, or the municipality does not pay what he owes to the company? Thankfully, at least Xerez CD's on first, and that is something that is not paid with money ... do you? And there's nothing out there that is priceless, and is the Mayor announcing the entry into force of the, hang, "Municipal Support Measures Jerez and Jerez in the World. " Madam Mayor, really, would not it be better to stop a bit crap and support to Jerez we're here?

Variable On Tooth Decaying

Delphi Antonio was not forbidden to live in peace

as much as some try to make us all equal when it is impossible that we (intelligence, ability to ... ), life divides us into categories up for misery. This mission of nature, the Andalusian creating inequities contributes only thing that should not tolerate: in rights. So, going into the lower grades, found that we can be something even lower than "miserable Andalusian stopped" because there infracategoría "miserable standing Andalusian did not work in Delphi." Go ahead here is not critical to any former employee of Delphi. Rather, we honor his struggle. However, the Board will favor a mixture of propaganda reasons and fear of urban guerrilla warfare, while thousands of citizens with equal or greater need are left in the hand of God, is inadmissible. Everything is so sloppy that even the injustice has been well executed: Andalusian administration pledged his credibility in promising that by August nearly 1,300 recolocaría Delphi unemployed, and the result is that, having met only a third of the announcement, the credibility of the Board is not affected, it was null and it still is. Unfortunately also insisted, and resent each other, millions of euros of public money with uncertain, if not comical, results (those courses consisting of watching films like "full monty" and visit the Zoo of Jerez, for example). Meanwhile, unemployed anonymous as Jerezano Antonio, sent forward your resume to an offer from the Andalusian Employment Service. No one answers, which is surprised because it fits the job requirements. You still have the strength to call and ask what SAE happens. And there, at least sincere, you say the company has hired 100 unemployed ... and all former employees of Delphi! Antonio feels discriminated against, neglected and forgotten. However, it does not give up (perhaps could it?). So I leave you with your protest, I guess it will be in the pile of papers "do as I read" the Andalusian Ombudsman:

"I have 39 years and am unemployed, and although I am putting all my effort come out of this situation, when I could not. I write this letter because I need to express my feelings, because even if one is strong and want to fight your way out of the gap, there are moments of despair. I wish to state that suffer discrimination in my job search, and do not understand how in a state of law such as Spain are unemployed first and second class, I mean former employees of Delphi. I understand that they have agreements to relocate, but I think in the current situation such agreements should be modified so as not to have unfairness. These partners have a preference for relocation without having to go through a screening to compare your profile to work with the position offered, and have recognized rights to be placed directly in a number of companies wishing to settle in our province. This violates my rights and those of all the unemployed who had no the chance to belong to a large company. I beg to reflect upon governments and trade unions, because it should not be allowed on the grave situation we are suffering. It is logical to give these people a chance to qualify for the screening of any place of work they wish, but should take into account only their job profile, and move as one selection. This would put us on equal terms to all that we are in the same situation. Hoping that my words reach the ears of those who can change this situation, I leave you with a cordial greeting.

Women Gropped In Train

At the City Council of the neighbors would love Guadalcacín stop making noise, so that young barbarians and around the province could continue to do so quietly. It matters little that the noise of the neighbors is a legitimate protest and despair, a cry for the right to rest after years of fear and dark circles, and it matters little that the sound of the waiters are dressed with piss, shit, insults, glass and vomit . But ... there is since 2004 a law banning drinking in public? Yes, but, instead of enforcing it, Local government is dedicated to brand as "illegal" the struggle of the citizens unprotected. Thus, it appears that the role of the Security company is to provide security drunken vandals that good people will not bother them. The world upside down, well, another sign that things work differently here than they do in the rest of the known universe, including places with people so similar to us such as Seville. An example: in the capital of Andalusia, a city, a municipal service bikes with more than 50,000 users, in the capital of the Jerez countryside, a village, there was a municipal Bicycles not know if he 50 users, created infrastructure is in ruins, and bikes gathering dust in a municipal warehouse, if not taken away the quinquis native exploded. The example does not seem to have much to do with the bottle, but everything is related: the idiosyncratic, the civic culture (or lack thereof), the buoyancy or the passivity of the people ... so, when a Consistory accustomed to dealing with sheep will reveal a few, gets caught and changed over reacts badly (from the "castastrazo" and is happening with Guadalcacín). As surely as the laws are to be fulfilled, is that many of them are true and turns a blind eye, and there is no means para obligar a todos a cumplir todas las leyes (se acabaría de un plumazo con los delitos, pero también con la libertad). Sin embargo, cuando una situación es claramente ilegal, perfectamente evitable, ha sido largamente soportada y denunciada, y sin duda puede derivar en consecuencias nefastas, lo más grave no es la propia ilegalidad, sino la dejación de funciones de la autoridad encargada de velar por el bien común. En otras palabras: si el Ayuntamiento de Jerez no hace lo que tiene que hacer, que deje a los vecinos de Guadalcacín defenderse como buenamente puedan, lo cual, por cierto, están haciendo con bastante paciencia, tacto y respeto a la ley.

When there are people who spent years without a break, fearing the weekend, cleaning casapuerta filthiness of her every morning, you can not say that "the local police and the Guardia Civil put fines", and has sent "a group of undercover investigation "(which is what needs to be investigated, how many ice throw them in pots of Ripple?, what is the average length of a leak in the door of a house?). What you need to do is to send law enforcement officials to fine not illegal, but to prevent it. And if you do not have authority, requested the intervention of Government Sub, and whether to be twenty guys at the cell resistance authority, they are taken, and whether to be fined 300 euros instead of "fight", is made. But as nothing will be done this until the day someone with shattered nerves take the shotgun and charge everyone who is put in front of a Cubata in hand, I suggest the residents of Guadalcacín bottle to make them the doorsteps of the council. Then verify firsthand, what they really might do to enforce the law when they want.

Looke Similar To Urethra Warts

The City of Lost Dreams Vacation

For several months I've been missing on the map for work and personal. Now ripe to re-write weekly in the press, and also to resume this blog with such affection that I had in a while. Slow and laborious work is done with a group of normal, fast and easy to lose through neglect. Nothing I promise I promise nothing, and therefore anything I ask. Just say that I rejoice to hear of old friends and meet new ones if you dare to enter.

Greetings, and here is the column this week:

There are people who having had everything to succeed, end up failing after squandering his gifts. We all know people like that, celebrities, millionaires, neighbors or relatives that leave a residue of sadness in good people, and a taste of victory in the bad. Sentenced easily than we would have done better if we had the same cards, but things are not so simple, and letters are always those that seem to be. Similarly, there are countries that remain privileged climate, resources and people, languishing on the failure, when not engaged directly to bleed to death, alone or with the help of a neighbor. However, in these cases it is easier to investigate the causes. And then there's the mystery of the city blessed by the gods, but ruined by reasons border on the paranormal, go beyond the logic and challenge philosophers cities that are not in the third world, but perform worse than many of those in there, located in democracies, but in practice is still worth beyond the Iron Curtain steel, with access to culture and education, but that seems to live in the sleeping people that conforms to his ranch every day, cities, in short, like mine, like ours ... and Jerez.

could make sure that if he had materialized in Jerez tenth of the promised investments and projects over the past twenty years, would, in addition to full employment, Motorized city in the world, more art, more sport, more industrialized, the greenest, the cleanest, the best connections and the highest political class. Obviously, we do not. Why? By a lethal combination of ignorance, lack of drive citizen and lack of political honesty. Remitting far as I can remember, our city suffered long a biblical plague the person who was the mayor and most representative figure for decades. What may begin with good ideas and good intentions was sliding, lubricated by the slime of hundreds of toady, to the deification of the master and, consequently, his infallibility, His infinite grace and absolute power. From afar it looked like a nice story from around let themselves be hypnotized by her overwhelming personality instead of punishing her dangerous absolutism, and from within his party could only pay allegiance or be deported, because in the beginning the party was it, then also, and ultimately the same.

For when people get fed up, metastasis and had invaded everything: the city itself and the system imposed by the mini god and were a "holy duality" virtually inseparable. The agony was long, many fell by the way, but in the end, he was gone. And like all empires fall, there remains juicy and there were many who fought for them, and it was her ... She, who emerged victorious. And he knew he had come to a place where he could lie without fear because there would be consequences, which could be above the law while trampling the citizen and the law, a place with thousands of servants ready to obey the promise a plate of beans ... but she was not created him enemies are faster, both outside and inside, and although believed to be the queen of coated paper, did not hide or lie so convincingly as his predecessor. Was in for a very powerful machine (a mixture of inherited and which resulted in) a town that swallowed nearly everything, and ineffective opposition to indecency. Contrary to one thing: reality. Promised parks and wasteland were obtained, announced the jobs of 3,000 by 3,000, while the new stand of the year doubled that number, guaranteeing the implementation of lots of business impossible, and most were lost on a road that never came to start; boasted of seeking consensus, whereas he was the command and control, all as before, but with outfits of Vogue and half of putting fellow tripping.

far past and present. But may one day decide that these people do not like their leaders laugh at him, which is not willing to accept that their political class gift to herself with champagne in the attic, while pouring his urine on the mob that lives underground, in the cave. Maybe one day the people of Jerez decide they are not monkeys, they are not rabble, who are not blind, nor deaf, nor dumb. And understand that even though this city is sunk in misery, another Jerez is possible.
