Uncanny story: Driving faster than Fernando Alonso!

Did I ever tell you about the time I met Fernando Alonso?
No!! So, here you have my uncanny adventure.
A few years ago I was waiting for my girlfriend, Susan. I was upset because she was arriving late and I didn’t like waiting for her. I was really excited because we were getting married next summer and I was going to meet her parents.
It was 8 o’clock and I was just standing next to my car, minding my own business.
I didn’t realise that a car had parked near me. Then suddenly I heard a claxon and I could see the driver. I just couldn’t believe my eyes!! It was Fernando Alonso!!
Without thinking what I was doing I decided to follow him. What an intelligent decision!!
I didn’t want to get too close, I just keep moving until he arrived to a restaurant. While he was parking I took my camera and got into the restaurant.
So there I was, in that fancy restaurant without knowing what to do. Another wise decision was to hide myself behind a table.
All of a sudden, somebody sat in that table. It couldn’t be true! I could listen Fernando Alonso talking with a girl. I felt really nervous.
Suddenly I got a call from Susan. Luckily, I had remembered to silence my mobile but I had to answer the phone because she would be worried about me.
Well, what happened in the end is obvious. While I was talking with Susan, Fernando Alonso picked up the tablecloth. I will never forget his face!!!! Then I jumped and started to run. Fernando Alonso shouted at me. He flipped his lid!! I thought he wanted to kill me but I got to my car and drove faster than any other man in the world, even faster than Fernando.
It was one of the most stupid things that has ever happened to me!!

Jokes!

Little Johnny was sitting in class doing math problems when his teacher picked him to answer a question:
- "Johnny, if there were five birds sitting on a fence and you shot one with your gun, how many would be left?"
- "None," replied Johnny, "because the rest would fly away."
- "Well, the answer is four," said the teacher, "but I like the way you're thinking."
Little Johnny says, "I have a question for you. If there were three women eating ice cream cones in a shop, one was licking her cone, the second was biting her cone and the third was sucking her cone, which one is married?"
"Well," said the teacher nervously, "I guess the one sucking the cone."
"No," said Little Johnny, "the one with the wedding ring on her finger, but I like the way you are thinking."


One day the teacher was walking into her classroom and announced to the class that on each Friday she would ask a question to the class and anyone who answered correctly didn't have to go to school the following Monday.
On the first Friday the teacher asked: "How many grains of sand are on the beach?" No one could answer the question.
The following Friday, the teacher asked the class: "How many stars are in the sky?" and again no one could answer.
Frustrated little Johnny decided that the next Friday he would answer the question and get a 3 day weekend.
So, Thursday night Johnny took 2 ping pong balls and painted them black. The next day he brought them to school in a paper bag. At the end of the day just when the teacher said, "here is this week's question," Johnny emptied the bag to the floor sending the ping pong balls rolling to the front of the room. Because they were young kids, the entire class started laughing.
The teacher said, "ok, who's the comedian with the black balls?"
Immediately, little Johnny standed up and said, "Bill Cosby, see you on Tuesday!"

My friend Bouk!

In April 2005 I was having a coke with some friends in Michael Collins pub when I met Bouk. Since that day, Bouk has become one of my best friends because he is the most funniest person I have ever know.
He has travelled all over the world and, although he is Dutch he speaks a perfect English. He has been in England many times and when he travels he needs to use English to communicate with other people.
Boudewijn Anne Joseph (this is his full name) arrived to Barcelona in 2002. He is going to stay here for a long time, depending on how his life goes.
Bouk came to Barcelona to enjoy himself. He had studied mechanical engineering and he wanted to travel in order to find a good job anywhere. Nowadays he is working in a technical commercial company near “plaça Tetuán” and living alone in a flat in Canyelles. He had shared his flat several times but now he lives alone.
He loves Barcelona, admires Barcelona’s nature, beaches and mountains. I know he is a good dancer and an authentic “casanova”.
When he came to Barcelona for the first time, he felt in love with a girl. He came to Barcelona 5 times in the same year but when love stopped, the travelling stopped.
Bouk speaks Spanish and understands Catalan. I wanted to know about English at his country.
In The Netherlands people speaks English, but it is not an official language. There is only an official language in The Netherlands, with many dialects. Bouk speaks English perfectly; he uses it for everything and does not have any problem when he has to speak with someone using this language.
I would like to speak English as he does but I have to practise a lot. Sometimes when all my friends are together we practise our English but at the end we finish speaking Spanish because some of them don’t understand English.
I know the best way to improve my English should be going abroad for a year but this is something very difficult for me because all my life is here, in Barcelona.
