I ventured out to a medical appointment this morning, only to find I was in Germany.
Efficiency! Punctuality! Attentiveness! And all in the context of “womens´problems.”
It was wunderbar, or as fellow blogger Mr. Grumpy quipped, wonderbra.
In fact, the wonder started a few weeks ago when I received a letter - through the post, no less – from Esperanza Aguirre, inviting me to have a free mammogram.
I wondered whether to bother going as I´ve no desire to speed Aguirre´s seizure of the Moncloa on a tank of statistics, one of them mine. I also feared wasting half a morning, being humilliated by insensitive personnel or having to run home for paperwork not on the list of required documentation.
So I dreaded España- but got Alemania! I had a three-minute walk from my house to a mobile cancer prevention unit parked outside my health centre. A two minute wait, a short, polite interview, a cubicle with a mirror and a shelf for my things. Then a pleasant, helpful and understanding nurse who saw to the “squashed aubergine” business quickly and efficiently on state of the art equipment.
So, credit where credit´s due. Despite Spain´s chronic inefficiency, this was a boob-free service.
¡Viva Españimania!

I’ve just realised that you have let a fantastic opportunity for a ‘hilarious’ pun pass you by : Surely you ought to replace “Wunderbar” with “WonderBra” ?
See, that´s what makes you so special Mr. G., you´d NEVER have let that one slip past you!
Sorry, but short (video) blogs are deffinately the way forward for a lazy writter !
Must give them a try myself.
So that must be where the 100 Billion has been spent – a fleet of efficient aubergine squashers … ?
Yes, imported from Germany, hauberzhinskwastikers, and I hear some havokhadoskwastikers are being imported to test testicles too. (Lovely bit of alliteration there). Guacamole anyone?
I completely sympathise with your bar problem but like Oliver Twist I wanted moooore!!! Too short! Hrrumph!
