Are you a lawyer in the real world? It is possible to interpret text and read between the lines also. I, for example, didn't read Basque as a mistype of Catalonia, but as adding context with a well known additional culturally independent region in Spain.

Old age, dear boy. One use is to ascribe mechanical movement to astronomical positions but a translation to the roman alphabet and/or many other forms of communication are possible. It may be complicated, and there is the larger issue of how fashion would evolve to incorporate pockets large enough to carry these things around, but I'm sure the Kardashians can figure it out.

Zatman Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) I have no side in this argumeny but I think Pique credibility is really being damaged because of this. Only showing his side now instead of earlier in his career. I also bet he wont return the medals he won with Spain Before people say he had no choice, his ex team-mate Oleguer a lesser player refused to play for any Spain squad including senior call-ups he was offered Edited October 3, 2017 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Perhaps he was not really politically aware in his early 20s but is now finding with maturity that he wants to engage with bigger issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 The violence shown by Police was absolutely disgusting. It was also so stupid politically that I could almost believe the riot police were actors hired by the seperatist movement to curry favour. They've drawn the sympathy of the entire world to Catalonia and it's plight, as well as making the Spanish government look like an oppresive monster. If you're ignoring the vote, why not just ignore the vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like one of the few episodes of the American Office I saw, the chap playing the David Brent character declared himself bankrupt by shouting "I'm bankrupt", he was told there was a bit more to it than that. Seems like this is what Catalonia is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 My Son's mom is taking him to Watch Barcelona v Malaga on the 21st of the month as a late birthday present. He broke his leg a couple of weeks ago so is in a full leg cast, and with all this now going on what was a dream weekend away for him could now potentially be a bit of a nightmare. Given the violence going on there, that probably sounds a bit selfish in the circumstances, its only football after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in contact with some people in Barcelona and the level of violence, as it is, is vastly over represented in the media. This is no way diminishes the essentially fascist behavior of the Madrid regime. The bigger issue is likely to be travel related strike nightmares. Another way to look at it that for his birthday he'll have a front row seat to something potentially historic rather than Messi's 1,234,672nd goal.

I think he's said the declaration has been delayed a few weeks to allow dialogue and to allow Spain to adjust to the idea, but that he has to deliver what the people have said they want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I predict more heavy handed policing and some proper nasty civil unrest. The referendum was illegal, you can't declare independence without consensus or an army. Stupidity on all sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
