I can not resist telling one of those small triumphs an anonymous Spaniard in foreign lands from time to time make my day.
Asun, a young friend of Valencia, just submitted his doctoral thesis at the University of Reading. The world of the doctoral thesis is even more foreign to me that the presence of vegetables in my meals, so I will not go into the details of title, subject and other individuals.
The Valencian presented the fruits of their hard work before a jury that one can only imagine full of bad-very bad to want to throw down his enthusiasm and sacrifice of several years. The presentation was then defended by the fire of a battery of questions that at times had to overcome some time ago with very difficult to express what is learned in the native language but you have to give account in English. There were appropriate answers but a loss for words, whether the atoms on the drawing board or in the air with his hands, anything goes.
After the stressful session and when the Fallas took the path of the door to let the jury deliberated, the stop abruptly and say it is, there is little to discuss, which is hell of a thesis, a improvements have been by someone foreign language and that the evidence is far outweighed, "doctor."
spokesman jury also the congratulations for having made the effort to answer some questions, "the Collins Gem others prefer to say they do not know to avoid the bitter swill of not articulate what they know in a foreign language." Certainly did not know who had front. If Admiral Nelson had taken his fleet in the Mediterranean would have sung a different story.
I go to prepare a "water of Valencia " to celebrate.
