'Cómeme el coco, megs'

Remember that England friendly against Spain where Ashley Cole and Shaun Wright-Phillips got monkey chants all game? Or Spain's manager at the time, Luis Aragones, calling Henry a 'black shit'? That's not to mention Lewis Hamilton's family all turning out to watch him practice.

Anyway the Spanish seem to really enjoy a good stereotype or two:
(According to google 'Cómeme el coco, negro' could mean 'Eat My Cocoa Nigger', 'Worry me nigger' or 'Soft-soap me black man').



Aparently an Afro-Caribbean gentleman once watched the show and found it mildly amusing which means it cant be racist.
Theres a really boring article about this and those little Conguitos sweets (which have an equally questionable design) here.

I think I might


go to the park and read a book... On the other hand, I might freak out and worry I'll see someone I know and play Grand Theft Auto instead. Either way, I'll probably be listening to music like this today (Right-click to save them)






Angela & Rene - I Love you more (than you'll ever know)

Nathan Fake - The Sky was Pink (James Holden Remix)

Cream - Strange Brew

Alton Ellis & The Flames - Girl I've Got a Date

In fact I've uploaded a better version of this Alton Ellis & The Flames song here on Div Share, which is brilliant. It's off a Trojan Compilation 'Work Your Soul' which is excellent and full of soul versions of Trojan songs. In fact, it also features this song:

The Gaylets - Here Comes that Feeling (aka that lonely feeling) which I don't recommend listening to on a sunny day as it will really bring you down.



... Yeah I know, I'm eclectic.
