Boxing Day

Have you ever heard of "Boxing Day" in Anglo-Saxon cultures? Do you associate it with the sport practiced in the ring? Hm, then you'd better have a look at this webpage to learn about it ;-)

Merry Xmas!

Web Therapy

Hi there!
Here's a recommendation from Dani (NA1) for you all. It's a TV series starring Lisa Kudrow (the one who played Phoebe in Friends) that is called Web Therapy. Thx Dan!

Words, words, words

My colleague Mª José Bermejo passed me an interesting link. It's a video that tells you about the word "fuck."
Beware! There are some spelling mistakes:
centense > sentence
incompitance > incompetence
disatisfaction > dissatisfaction

I once heard something about the origin of the word but don't know for sure if it's true. Apparently the word derives from old times when it was posted on brothel doors as an acronym of "Fornication under the consent of the King"

Musicians and Singers Wanted

Some students from the Tue. and Thur. NI2 group have proposed to give a concert (in English, of course) at some point of the academic year, and I think it's a great idea. They have a pianist, a bass player, and a viola player. They need a singer and encourage any other musicians to join the band. If anyone is interested, please let us know
