The Pepper Pots

Last night Albert,Guillem and me went to Girona to the presentation of the new album of The Pepper Pots: Now!.

The Pepper Pots is a group created in Girona and they play 60's black music: soul, rock steady, ska, reagge... They are known over the world and they have made tours in Japan,France, Germany, Txec Republic, Austria, Switzerland and Italy.

We went to the concert because we like how he plays ska classic music but in his new CD there isn't so much, so at the start it was a bit boring because all the songs were soul but finally they strated with ska and reagge songs and it was much better.

Here you can see a concert made in Germany:

Cup, League and Champions

Well finally Barça won Champions last Wednesday in Rome. At the start of the match Manchester United had the control of the ball and I was very nervous because Barça is a team that needs the possession of the ball.
The first time that Barça controlled the ball, Eto'o scored a fantastic goal. Since this goal Barça had improve his way of playing and Manchester United seemed to be out of the match.
At the start of the second half, Barça started with the same strength as the first half. They made a lot of goals occasions but Manchester goalkeeper avoid them and one of them crash into the post. Barça sentenced the match in 70 minute with a fantastic head goal by Messi. Manchester United was defeated.
That will be remembered during some years because not every day a team gets the three titles. Moreover it could be the start of magnificent future seasons by Barça.

F1 Monaco

Last weekend the F1 race had place in Monaco. This circuit is very special because it's a urban circuit and all the circuit is full of guard rails so it is very dangerous because the circuits is too narrow and if the cars touch the guard rails, there are spectacular accidents.

At the start of the race some teams choose to bring soft pneumatics and during the race some of them had some problems with it so the other teams reserved these ones for the last stem in the pit lane.
L.Hamilton crashed into the guard rails in the classification season so he started the race in the last position.
Alonso had classified in ninth position and after a good strategy he ends the race in the seventh position, but he needs a better car yet.
Brawn GP did a magnificent race as all the people was expecting, J.Button won the race and Barrichello was second.
After a bad start Ferrari seems to be in a good moment, Raikkonen finished the race in the third position.

In general the race was quite interesting at the start and in the end when Alonso was the fastest car in the circuit and really near to pass N.Rosberg

The Platypus

I'm sure that you have heard the platypus and I think that is an interesting creature to talk about.

The Platypus or in Latin name Ornithorhynchus anatinus, is a mammal that lives in Australia. It's is a very strange mammal because it lay eggs and their physical characteristics are too different from normal mammal characteristics. It has a poisonous spur, a duck mouth, a beaver tail and otter feet.

So when the European naturalist first saw it they thought that it was a fraud and they tried to decompound the creature. If you visit the British Museum you will see this platypus with some cuts.

Certainly it was a difficult animal to classify because it seems to be a mixed creature, but finally scientists decided to classify it as a mammal because it has breasts to feed up the little ones.

Barça

Do you think Barça is going to win the league, the cup and the Champions?

The last matches show us a wonderful team that seems unwinnable and with players that score more goals than a whole team. So it seems that Barça has all in favour to win all the titles but as Guardiola said, we have to be prudent.

If nothing bad happens this year we will see Barça lifting up more than one cup.

El Hormiguero

El Hormiguero is a TV programme broadcast by Cuatro and is one of the most viewed programmes of Spain.
The programme is presented by Pablo Motos, who is a comedian and his team is formed by a bit crazy people that take part in different parts of the programme, and always there is a famous person as invited.
Maron is who does “El Efecto Mariposa” (which is very spectacular) and “Supervivencia en Casos Extremos” (that sometimes are stupid things). There is a crazy scientist, Flipy, who sometimes does really interesting experiments. Then, there is Jandro, a magician and clown that does spectacular magic tricks. There are Juan and Damian who do “El Quiosco”, where they laugh about the things that appear on magazines.
And the last collaborator is Raquel who does “Pilleria: Sí , Delincuencia: No” and “Se va a liar parda”.

Mago de Oz

As you maybe know, this year in “Barracas de Figueres” Mago de Oz is going to do a concert of its tour called: “La Leyenda de La Mancha Tour”, to celebrate its 10th anniversary. They are going to play the first songs that they composed and had brought him where they are now.
Some people say that Mago de Oz is worse than in his start and that they are very commercial. I quiet agree because their last CD is not very good. For me their best albums are: “La Leyenda de la Mancha”, “Folktergeist”, “Finis Terra” and “Gaia I”. After those, songs aren’t so good.
I’m looking forward to go because some years ago they had to come in Castelló but finally they didn’t and I was very upset.

F1

This year F1 World Championship is very exciting: there is a new team that is extremely superior to the others. The well-known teams aren’t doing good results and sanctions are present in each race.
Brawn GP, the new team that comes from Honda, is dazzling everyone. His monoplanes are the fastest and the reason is that last year Brawn decided to sacrifice the car and begin to design a better car for next year, and here we have the result. One thing that is very curious is that Button and Barrichello (Brawn GP pilots) thought that this year they wouldn’t be here, and you see, they are laddering the classification.
Otherwise Ferrari and McLaren aren’t doing his best season: accidents, break downs, bad times, sanctions...
FIA is thinking about what to do with Hamilton, who in Australia Gran Prix said that other car passed him while there was a yellow flag. The FIA looked into the case and they found out that Hamilton has lied.
