Cortesía de Emilie, que ni ayer ni hoy tuvo que ir al curro por huelga a la francesa, las leyes más ridículas del Reino Unido. Alguien tendría una lista parecida para un país en el que hacer un dibujo cuesta 6000€, y se ponen por las nubes los inaceptables malos modos de alguien cuyo concepto de diversión es matar a un oso borracho.
Por cierto, hoy es más pertinente que nunca gritar que han matado a Kenny, hijos de puta…
