And we have to thank CDG, whoever they are, for this fanf***ingtastic video!!!!!!

NA2 more on shell

Hi again,

By courtesy of Paco Guerao, below you'll find a link to Amnesty International's campaign against Shell, in case you're still interested..... Sorry it's not in English, I looked it up but couldn't find it on the web....

Amnesty International

NI1 & NA2 SOS

All right, guys??

Just in case you were wondering whether to go or not to SOS this year, here's a couple of tracks by The Flaming Lips which will be playing there on Sat. One of the best bands, if not the best, in the line-up. Good weekend!!!

NA2 trainspotting

All right, there?

Just as some af ye were talking today 'bout what Trainspotting really meant, I remember this amazing film. I strongly recommend it, only bear in mind it's set in Scotland so accents may be quite difficult to understand and the film's got some hard scenes, but still worth it, though.

So here's both the opening scene (with Spanish subtitles) and a trailer. Hope you enjoy it!!!! Ah, I almost forget, Trainspotting refers to the act of meeting up your pals to have some drinks while you're watching the trains passing by......

Set in Edinburgh but really shot in Glasgow, after having watched this, do you not feel like going to Scotland????? Difficult choice, right???? Edinburgh or Glasgow??????

NA2 Listening

Hi there, 

Here's the video for the listening exercise I gave you today. Notice it comes with subtitles, so you'd better do the exercise without actually watching the video, only listen to it. A useful thing to do would be to watch it fully again once you've finished the exercise.

And the answers to this and the EBAY PHENOMENON text.....

Yes, I did find Bowling for Columbine in just one link but with Spanish subtitles (you can activate them by pressing the CC key on your youtube screen).......I'm sure you'll love it!!!!

NA2 environment

Hi there,

I couldn't find the whole film in just one link, so you have to watch all these links. Well, I think you might watch it as well cause it's worth the effort, believe me on that.... As stated in the cover, the most terrifying film you'll ever see....
