That foosball was invented by a disabled anarchist who survived the Spanish Civil War to bring some joy into the lives of children injured in the war.

Yes really.

So next time you play foosball, imagine that the ball being kicked is a fascist's head. Do it for Alejandro.

Okay, that's lovely.

It's a somewhat disputed story but it's the one I'm sticking to.

When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.

MUERTE A FRANCO

NO PASARAN!

I'm going to start shouting "NO PASARAN!" the next time I'm playing foosball and the ball is headed towards my goal thing

which is often because the only person I play it with these days is my mum and she always wins :(

In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
