There’s an increasing number of “pedias” on the Web, and now we have Madripedia , which aims to become the biggest ever Madrid-based encyclopaedia (in what’s probably a limited field). It follows , which has done the same thing for Córdoba since 2005, and which now has 3,700 entries (Madripedia only has 850+ so far). So it’s over to you! Any experts in cocido madrileño out there?
Un cabrón menos , as a friend of ours said.
Update: I heard on the radio this morning that Pinochet was once asked why he always wore sunglasses. His answer was that if you tell a lie and you aren’t wearing them, people will spot it. What a card.
