At the top of the list of dares to open the door of the tapers’ cupboard these days is @HdeHelena_RM, to claim that Madrid has won the League “despite everything and everyone” – with all bar -, and the satirical account of the Federació Balearic de Balconing, which in X has refused to include in its new classification of tourists who fall/jump from balconies a man thrown by another. “It is not valid with the participation of third parties. It must be due to one’s own will and/or stupidity”, he warns. Controversial decision, without VAR review, but which must be respected.
The years go by and the Federació Balear de Balconing banner continues to be responsible for announcing to us when the summer season actually begins. “The day has come. I’m already wearing shorts tomorrow”, confirms @quimmonzo in response to the news that the first tourist of the year, this time from Germany, has fallen in love.
Only the nationality of the deceased prevents the writer from complying line by line with the anthological advice of @SantiLiebanaR, who proposes to change the saying from until the seventy of April don’t take your thread, to the one until an Englishman falls , don’t take anything away. “Un palomo no hace verano”, said Cruyff, who for being skinny has rivaled Menotti, who passed away. An Englishman does. In fact, the federation was activated on April 6 because the first casualty was British.
But not everyone sees it that way. There are those who think that more than summer, true spring is announced. It’s the opinion of @Pablo__Machuca before the headline “First ‘balconing'” in ABC. “We’re already announcing it as if it were cherry blossom season,” he says.
The Twitter community applauds the account @botquebota –username for this federation–. Touches humor and makes comedy out of misfortunes. Delicate ground for an issue that is difficult to joke about without rushing. The anthropologist José Mansilla has best explained the reason for this approval: “Under the guise of humor, the Balearic Balconing Federation emphasizes these facts by pointing out their false consideration of normality”. Laughter, moreover, is especially pleasant when it has a transgressive point.
Meanwhile, we are already in the first days of May and the British are not helping to make this cunt be abandoned: the Mirror warns that they are angry because the price of alcohol has increased in the Balearic Islands and they are threatening not to spend the holidays there . “Close the balconies when leaving”, @anyanez91 invites them. It can already be seen that by raising the shopping basket we also risk the tourists falling head over heels. There is no solution.
