RMS Titanic

Do you know the RMS Titanic? It was the largest ship afloat (the biggest in the World) at the time she* entered service.


* When talking about ships, we use 3rd person (singular, she)  






Nahiz eta bere estreineko bidaia (azkena, ere) 1912ko apirilaren 10ean hasi Southampton-etik, 1911.eko maiatzaren 31an uretaratu zuten Riven Laganen.

Bertan, barruko lanekin jarraitu zuten eta tximiniak eta bestelako gauza guztiak amaitu zituzten.

Tras una serie de complicaciones por una avería de su barco "gemelo" Olympic, el Titanic no pudo zarpar en su viaje inaugural hasta el 10 de abril de 1912.

In that maiden voyage Titanic had an estimated 2,240 people on board, but only 20 lifeboats. On them, it was room enough for 1,178 people.

She stuck an iceberg and she sank in two hours forty minutes time.

It was a catastrophe.

Oops! He (or she) did it again! Banksy has unveiled a new artwork. 
It pays tribute to healthcare worker worldwide, portraying a boy playing with a nurse superhero toy with figures of Batman and Spiderman in a waste basket on the floor. 
The nurse is also shown wearing a cape, face mask and a white apron embellished with a red cross.

Por ahora tan solo una persona ha superado el reto. Y lo ha hecho a lo grande, con la partitura "fácil" y con la "difícil".



Kuadrilla! Pertsona bat baino ez da ausartu erronka lortzen. :(




No voy a decir quién ha sido, pero...¡quiero más!



Nice job!

Two thousand visits Special - 2k

It happened too fast I have hardly relised that we've reached 2,000 visits in more or less 2 weeks time.
I'm very proud of you!!!

2,000 is a BIG number. Did you see that in English we put "," to separate thousands instead of "." like in Basque or Spanish?




2.000... Es un número "gordo". Viajemos atrás para tirar de nostalgia. ¿Os acordías aitatxos y amatxos lo que pasaba antes con el número 2.000?

¡Eras rico!!


Volvamos. Que empezamos a oler a alcanfor y a "cerrao" con comentarios de antes del dos mil, ¡pero del año!

La gente tira de creatividad y saca lo mejor que lleva dentro. Si no, ved a los Marsh. Menuda versión de Los Miresables que se han "currado" en cuarentena. Cremita. De la buena...

Aupa zuek! Bi mila bisita. Izugarri! Hementxe behean badituze Marsh-tarrak. Sekulako abesti bertsioarekin. Etxean eginda.

One day more

Y no solo son los Marsh. Otros cuatro amigos de Liverpool también tienen un buen mensaje para transmitiros.
