Funcionary: Fall Around Laughing

Posted on March 13th, 2008 by Valerie

Does fighting the bureaucrats wear you out?

Do you always have a form missing?

Do you feel lost when applying for government subsidies?

Well now you can practice with the hot new game…

Practice your Spanish while falling around laughing. Here’s a transcript of the original Spanish and an English translation courtesy of In The Garlic.

This hilarious clip is from the ETB (Basque TV) show Vaya Semanita. We’d sure like to see more of it.

And now the shameless plug. Read all about funcionario, burocracia (and burrocracia), desayuno, ventanilla, oposiciones, enchufe and the Ley de Falta Uno in our book In The Garlic. And all the stuff that makes Spain Spain.

    Hola, me ha encantado la entrevista en Buenafuente, y me he metido rapidamente en la pagina! ya tengo ganas de comprarme el libro!! Queria deciros que llevo dos meses y medio viviendo en londres, y que os habeis “quejado” de la burocracia española y lo que Valerie conto sobre cuando fue a hacer el pasaporte con su hijo.. como os he puesto estoy casi recien aterrizada, pero todo son papeleos, en lso ultimos meses, todo application forms, y abrir una cuenta en un banco, sin tener facturas de una casa, que estuve buscando durante un mes, fue imposible!! Londres es todo una aventura…
    mucha suerte con el libro!
