Tuningmania
| Nowadays we are living the ‘tuning’ fever. Have you heard this word before? I’m sure you have heard it. Tuning is a word used to call all kind of performances on your car. Install on your car wheels from 16 to 21 inches, put a spoiler on the rear edge of your car. Use special rear and front bumpers. Colour your car windows with all kind of colours. Use special paints and original vinyl. Install eyelashes on the front lights and masks on the rear ones. There are lots of possible performances, the limit is in your imagination. At the end, is a way of changing the body of your car and also the inside of it. The idea of those people is make your car unique. Make it have an identity. I’ve heard some of those people. They usually say that they started with little changes on their cars, but at the end they couldn’t stop. I must say that it is an expensive hobby too. Of course it depends on the kind of changes you are interested on. What do you think? Is the ‘tuning’ an interesting hobby or is it a stupid way of wasting money? |

That' life
Beep-Beep, Beep-Beep, … the day starts. Today is one of those days you wish not to have a work and lay in bed without doing anything until 10 a.m. Take a pair of trousers and a shirt that suits you. Have your breakfast. Now you are ready for a hard working day.
Hurry up! Your are going to miss your train. At the end, you don’t have to care about it. The train arrives to the station ten minutes late.
Try to go into the train, but you won’t. It is plenty of people (like everyday).
You arrive to the office at a quarter past nine. The boss is breathing down your neck.
All that for a few hundred euros at month. We must be mad!
Often, the story of working hard and reach what you deserve it doesn’t work.
That makes me remember about a wonderful TV advert. It said that how wonderful will be born being old and a getting younger with the years pass. Imagine you start being the boss at your job. But, with time you get less responsibilities and notice that your illnesses disappear day after day. And … ‘In the best moment of your life buy a Mercedes’.
That’s what the advert said. Anyway, forget the car. And think on how would be living your life from the end to the beginning.
Won’t be it marvellous?

Mr. Villepin
| The fight against low salaries continues. Those days we’ve heard about it because of the protests in France. The First Minister, Dominique de Villepin wants to go on with some unpopular work changes, which specially affects young people. Governments usually use the excuse of economy troubles to introduce changes in the young workers rights. It’s always against the weak ones, never the wealthy part. When I knew about that news, a idea came to my mind. I think I’ve heard it all before, don’t you? This last week, one million and a half of people along several French cities, showed their desire to not to continue with the called “First Employ Contract”. Also trade unions wanted to go on a national strike trying to avoid changes like the pretended ‘free fire for those workers who are younger than 26 years old during the two first years of the contract’. If young people are the future let them breathe. Mr Villepin, please, heard your compatriot! |
