this isnt my first post about crazy spanish tv
(this is)
the one thing i hate most about not being fluent in spanish is i cant understand the tv
stuff like telenovelas and lalola (which is my newest favourite tv show)
but there is also times on the news and topical chat shows that i wish i knew what the eff was going on
like for instance the other day when i spotted this guy on the tv
what the eff is this presenter doing with a gunshot wound to the head?
as an example

Spanish TV confuses me

Red Flag day
All of the times I have been down to the beach there has always been a Green Safety Flag up on the lifeguards seats. It's always been interesting to see what conditions you need for a red flag?
Then the other weekend when down the beach with my mum and niece I went for a swim out to the buoys (I really need to find out how far these ones are) and as I was swimming out there was a Sea Mist coming inland.
By time I got to the bouys and turned around I could hardly see the beach as the mist was so dense and everywhere. It was pretty freaky.
By time I had got back to land the fog was just rolling up the beach slowly, it looked, for want of a better word, sweet!
I then looked and noticed that I couldn't see the buoys I had swam too. In fact I couldn't see much of the sea.
Then I could over here a lot of chatter on the life guards radios and the one stationed right behind us was a lot more alert and after a few minutes put up a red flag.
So me and Megan celebrated.
Good bye Green Flag
Hello Red

Hard day at work?
Sea Mist
The missus was told that this happens quite often. We were shocked by this as I had never seen it before and neither had the missus and she has visited quite a lot before we moved.
But our tipster was right. It's already happened three more times in this week alone, this morning it was very dense, I could only just about make out the buildings across the road.
Next is a Double Red Flag. I'm guessing I need a swarm of man-eating jellyfish for this....fingers crossed.
