where the fook is castellon?

Wednesday, January 24, 2007

I waffled on so much yesterday; I will try to keep it short. When I got home from Paris, Sonia was in a mood, so I knew straight away that she had had an argument with Luís. I eventually got it out of her what it was about. She had taken Luís to her auntie’s house in the country and her auntie I might mention is an elderly lady. Well, apparently he didn’t behave well, he had been drinking so he turned up pissed out of his face, add to that that he never has a shower, he would have made a great impression. So I dunno exactly what he did, but Sonia said he didn’t behave very well and that her auntie went mad and said never to bring him to my house again, etc. So, I think Sonia went mad at him for it and he told her it was all her fault because she didn’t look after him properly. So we went through the whole rigmarole of this is it, and I don’t want to see him again, etc. So I was thinking she meant it this time. But oh no, on Monday she tells me that they are friends now she is going to sleep at his house on tuesday. So I’m really mad with her now, when is she going to open her eyes, that he is a complete twat and a waste of time? And I’ve noticed a pattern emerging. Every time Sonia doesn’t have the money to buy his alcohol, that is when he shouts and goes mad at her. I was actually really worried about the girl who comes after me taking over my house, as she definitely wouldn’t put up with it, and after a week she would move out. But thankfully, she has found somewhere else to live without me even having to say anything. As Sonia doesn’t realise that it is her decision to spend time with an alcoholic and drug addict, it isn’t ours and she can say what she wants but do you think that it is acceptable for me to have to put up with him getting coked out of his face on a Wednesday?

Also I don’t know whether I have already mentioned, but on Wednesday last week, I came home and I noticed Luís’s phone just lying around. There was no one at home, so I know I shouldn’t have, but I went through and read his messages. As it turns out, Sonia is not the only girl he has, so when he does stuff like just get off and leave her randomly, I’m pretty sure that’s where he goes. Also he claims to have no money, but he has money to spend on Prostitutes. I’m in two minds whether I should say something or not. Although, I’ve decided it’s best not to say something, and my reasons are 3-fold:

1. She will be more mad at me for reading his messages
2. She will never leave him as she is that desperate for a man she will take anything
3. He will lie his way out of things and she will believe him and be mad at me

So I have decided to keep shut. She will find out eventually, but even then she will not leave him; she will probably stay with him and forgive him. I do not understand how she can be so desperate for a man she will take the unwashed, unemployed, drug addict and alcoholic. When will she open her eyes? It really is frustrating me, so maybe it will shock her when she can’t find anyone to live with and she has to get two jobs again just to pay the rent. As since Petra wisely decided not to come here no more, she is going to fond it really difficult to find someone who will be willing to put up with him. Even then she won’t kick him out, he will take over her house and it will stink and be a mess forever. She keeps saying he is going in March he only works in the summer months, as he is a man of the mountains and when he is in the mountains he doesn’t drink, but I’ve been hearing this every week since she has known him, and he never ever leaves. So I will have to have yet another word with her about him, and explain that even though this is her house, it is her decision to spend time with someone who has a lot of problems. Like if I had known that this was going to go on for such a long time, I would have moved a long long time ago, but she kept promising me that he wouldn’t be coming here no more.

And, I’m going to have a huge big waffle now. The Spanish justice system and government is corrupt. There is a guy here called Farraquito (I’m not entirely sure how that is spelt) Anyway, he is like a famous flamenco dancer or singer, I’m not sure, but the majority of flamenco dancers or singers are gypsies. Anyway, I digress; he was driving a car when he doesn’t have a licence, without insurance, he was also drunk and speeding, drove through a red light, killed a man and didn’t bother to stop. He only got 3 years in prison. That is really bad, but the story of how he only got 3 years in prison is even worse. The police were originally investigating him for drugs or something along those lines (excuse the pun!) and they had bugged his phone and they heard a policeman having a conversation telling him to blame his little brother for the hit and run as he is 16 nothing at all will happen to him, he won’t even have a criminal record. So his little brother went in and blamed it all on himself so the police obviously didn’t do anything as the legal age to prosecute in Spain is 18. It was only when they heard this phone conversation that they realised what had happened. But somehow this got leaked out to the press as it always does, so it was actually the press and the media that started asking questions and campaigned for criminal charges to be brought against him. He eventually went to court and managed to pay his way out of prison, he paid 100,000 to the widow, and goodness knows what other amount he had to pay to the government, hence the reason for no sentence, because he is rich he was able to pay his way out.

Then the widow appealed, as she quite rightly said, how can she explain to her two small children that the man that ruthlessly killed their father is free lap it up in the life of luxury? Always seen going to parties always on the telly, earning copious amounts of money from selling drugs and singing or dancing like a puff or whatever he does. How can she protect them from any further damage by allowing them to know that there was no justice for their father who was quite rightly minding his own business crossing the road-with a green man, and the arrogant pisshead that killed him didn’t even have the guts to stop and help him? When asked at his trial why he didn’t stop and help him, Farraquito said that he didn’t even know that he had knocked over a killed a man. That is a pile of shite. Had he not known that he had knocked over a man, then surely he would not have asked his little brother to lie for him, or involved a policeman to give him “legal advice”. Had he not knocked over a man then surely there would be no damage to his car. As I would imagine that if he was speeding there would have been an almighty bang as the mans skull smashed against the bonnet, leaving a huge dent. But they seemed to accept his explanation at his trial and never questioned him on the above points. So when it came to the verdict at the appeal, he was yet again ordered to pay more money and this time he had his passport removed so that he could not leave the country for like three years. Big wowza. I suppose that brought great comfort to the mans two small children knowing the punishment for their fathers murderer was that he couldn’t go on holiday for 3 years aww diddums.

So again the widow rightly appealed but this time took it to the Spanish Supreme Court. In the end they decided to give him 3 years for driving without a licence, without insurance, driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding, failing to stop at a red light, manslaughter, failing to stop at the scene of an accident, failing to report an accident and perjury. And he only got 3 years maximum for that, as the judge said that since he didn’t realise he had knocked someone over, the whole thing was one big misunderstanding. If he behaves well he will be released within a year. How absolutely disgusting is that? And, originally they were not even going to give him anything or make him pay any money because he is famous! It was only when the media campaigned and protested that something was eventually done.

And what got my back up even more was that I heard that a man in England made his dog obese and he was sent to prison for that! How topsy-turvy.

People don’t realise how lucky they are to be living in England, they really don’t. Like there might be no sunshine constantly, like there is here, but at least if a famous person in England did that, they would be looking at a hefty prison sentence, hopefully….

Right my judgemental waffle over now. It’s just that this has been in the news constantly and it’s really pissing me off.

Right, on to more positive happy things, I’m putting on my photos as promised!
