Solidarity Forever

South of Watford has been awarded a prize! Bernardo Muñoz at El Siglo de las Luces has kindly included this blog amongst those given the honour of being a Blog Solidario. I’ve just got back from parading the trophy around Madrid in an open topped bus. Reading the instructions on the bottom of the statuette it appears that I’m now required to choose 7 blogs worthy of the same award. Given that the rules are made to be broken, or at least to be slightly stretched, I’ve decided to nominate 2 for the moment.


So here we go; let’s hear that drum roll please. The first award goes to Tom Clarke for thebadrash.com, a blog from Barcelona promoting similar values to those that I try to defend from here in Madrid. Dividing the award equally between the English and Spanish language blogospheres, I give my second nomination to Evaristo at El Rey de la Baraja for services to hinbestigation and the never ending search for la verdaz. Pass it on.

Wow, what an accolade! Does this mean that I have to pick some blogs too?

Well in the end it's up to you Tom, but I think the spirit of the prize partly consists in it being awarded to at least one other blog - I've already broken the 7 blogs rule so I leave it your judgement.

Oh my god! I am... I mean... wow... this is even more surrealistic than "The Truz" itself.

(and the winner is... Peeedrooo!!!)

;)))

I know....I felt the same when I got mine, how to handle the crowds, the photographers, the constant parties, the press. You'll get used to it.
