Gibraltar's National Dish
Telephone conversations between Cloti and Cynthia
Of kings and queens...
I say, dear Cloti, Gibraltar is becoming a nation of
kings and queens.
What do you say, Cynthia mia, that we are now a monarchy?
Mira, nos dicen that the Governator is the 'queen' and that el Chief
Minstra wants to be 'queen', and if that were not enough, along
comes un tal King to try and save GBC from extinction.
Ah, bueno, that's something else. Que risa. Te dire que según mi
Juan I am his queen, and for me he is my king.
Vamos hablar del King who has come down from the Sky to bring el
televisho down to earth.
I must admit que con all those satellite channels, el local
televisho is not what it used to be. There is very little of real
interest, I mean a quien se le ocurre poner un minority religious
programme, con el Hoare y el Cumming, reading from the Bible y cosas
de esa?
Llevas razón, es que there is no sense of programming, so let's hope
that when el King tells us that he wants more local programmes that
he does not mean that sort of minority interest porgrammes.
I don't think so, and it's only an assumption, pero este was a
presenter on Sky y mira how far Sky has gone in the starry firmament
of UK television.
The guy ha dicho unas gran verdades porque el televisho parece un
barco sin capitán.
Not only that, my dear, pero hay quien se cree que it is a 9 to 5
job, blimey mucho cuento y poco substance, I must say.
El dead wood que dijo el King, porque eso nos esta costando a
fortune, and what for?
Y el radio? There are people who have been there and have much
experience, pero que hace ahi el TioUma, why isn't he sent
elsewhere?
Y el Viewpoint en el televisho is becoming something of a joke, y
eso que they do it only once a fortnight, y con el battalion of
people that earn their living there!
Say no more. Bye, bye de melon.
