^ No it's from a workbook. Says "Instructor's Edition Special Section" at the bottom. I wonder who the fan is too... I shall congratulate them for sneaking those references in there. :

I was doing my Accounting homework and noticed this on the front page.
Harry Potter references ftw!
I can't remember if it was my Economics or Law exam paper (which was multiple choice too), it had the same type of reference but to SpongeBob Squarepants. I remember it because they spelt Squidward incorrectly as Squidword. And then i just realised how lame i am, because i was probably the only person who wrote the exam who actually figured that out. :

Re: una cervasa por favor
Oh I do know.
I was studying Architecture at the time, and Barcelona was a bonanza for that, Gaudí for starters. Even the bus shelters were beautifully designed. (That's true here now too, but it certainly wasn't in 1990.) Public space was important.
And speaking of public space, I'd see people having raging arguments in the street, and when they were done, they would kiss each on the cheek and go on their way.
Here we seem to have inherited English emotional uptightness. A Polish friend described to me a scene at an airport, where two kiwi males who were obviously very pleased to see each other had to make do with punches on the arm. My friend, from a more demonstrative culture, was like "hug already!"

I always have a gun with me, just in case I see a Madrid fanI'm sure if one of them was wearing a Real Madrid's shirt, it wouldn't end that well :

My mate wants to go to Madrid for the sole purpose of drinking, partying, and tapas.Oh well, most people come to Spain to get drunk, so even if it wasn't your intention you fitted in with the typical tourist

You certainly deserve some kind of award/prize for that. That takes some serious effort.I've studied pretty much all day, and I was so relieved to finally close the book and have all my assignments finished.
Now I'm sitting here bored.

pffffffffffffff-- don't you pin the ridiculously high phone bill on me, woman!
I have one 40 minute conversation, once a month.
The ONLY time I use the telephone!
YOU-- on the other hand; talk to your boyfriends multiple times a day.
Yesterday, I recall you going into the basement and talking on the phone for 5 hours while I was playing videogames and making dinner. (and then eating dinner. I called you! You heard me but didn't come! XD)
Today? You're on the phone for the fourth time. 80 minutes and counting.
-___-
I'm listening, woman.
I know where you LIVE!

Props for having good grammar. I haaate it when people say "...than me." But I'm a grammar snob like that.

To be honest, long ago I thought you were a woman XD
If you do, remember to take a pic before and after and post it here so we can give you our opinion
I haven't shaved in 2-3 weeks, but didn't actually plan it. I like my beard (though at 20 I'm still not very "beardy"
) and I think I'm going to keep it, with some style
