Fiesta time, and the gals pee everywhere


That's what am gonna talk about today. How young Spanish "ladies" act like bitches in heat, get drunk and pee anywhere.

I’m definitely getting old! That’s why I seem to disapprove of more and more teenagers’ behaviour, despite desperately trying to remember what I was like at that age. Yeah, I got drunk in my time, but not on a regular basis, I mean, I never went OUT purposefully to get drunk, my sole purpose of a night on the town was to have a good dance, a good natter, a good ol’ laugh and if I happened to get merry, so be it. Maybe the fact that I was never really able to hold my drink deterred me from drinking more, in fact, if I ever overdid it, I used to fall asleep and….MISS THE FUN! Besides, I have never been a shy person, and I could make a fool of myself without resorting to blaming the booze for my stupidity LOL!!

But, here in Spain, more and more youngsters can be seen in groups, large and small, sitting in a circle on the beach, in the park, in squares, with carrier bags full of cheapo alcohol and refreshments and simply drink till they are legless. A successful night out can be measured by the quantity of vomit one can throw up.

In the past, only boys peed in certain public places, the stench on a summer’s day was revolting, and some areas had to be avoided if you didn’t want to throw up. But today, young “ladies” have become liberated and also pee in public (how nice). When I used to go to discos in Spain, I found it really silly how if one girl needed to go to the loo, two or three friends accompanied her. All three would squeeze into the cubicle and God knows what they did in there (I never found out as I didn’t allow anyone in to watch me pee!).

The habit today hasn’t changed, as I was to witness the other day on the beach as my husband and I strolled along the water’s edge. There we were, at dusk, paddling in the warm summer evening awaiting the firework display which marked the beginning of the summer activities in Santander. There were a great many groups of youngsters sitting along the beach with their “botellones” (big bottles = 2ltr coke bottles filled with coke and alcohol), now and again we saw a few adults with their kids too. Anyhow, we came across three girls side by side, bent down like animals, arses in the air, and obviously peeing by the waters edge. It was really funny to see them in a threesome because it took me back to my disco days when threesomes went to the loos together! Further up we saw another two groups, peeing away. Amazed was I when we came across a fourth group and saw that ONE was standing up between two other pissing girls… it was a bloke. As I see it, in our advancement as women in a modern society, we have lost self-respect and dignity. We are fast becoming simple animals of instinct with no decorum. In a way, we have taken a step back in time and become primitive, a bit like the ape men and women. What will the next step be? Screwing in public?
