Puerto Rico’s Waste Management Situation

Recently, a comedian named Hinchcliffe took time off from tapping on Catherine Earnshaw’s window in order to come and sabotage Mr Trump’s presidential campaign with an off-colour joke about Puerto Rico being “a floating island of garbage”. Not exactly the sentiments ascribed to John of Gaunt about England, not saying we deserve it more, and resulted in Joe Biden overwhiteknighting the omelette by calling Trump supporters “garbage”.  This was a step in the too far direction, given that even the agent saboteur had not so condescended in the wuthering heights of his humour, as to accuse Puerto Ricans themselves as garbage, even Ocasio-Cretez, but rather to infer that they have a waste management challenge.

I have never been there so I decided to ask AI about whether there is any truth in there being Waste Management issues in Puerto Rico, and this is what the AI said:

Royal Botanical Gardens, Madrid (Huliganov’s Madrid Experience #9/11)

Original YT playout date: 21 June 2008
Duration: 18:17

This is pretty much what it says on the tin. If you like plants, you’ll love this. The only problem is, not may people watch botanical videos unless Alan Titchmarsh or Charlie Dimmock are doing them. Still, in the end, I always remember what my chief in the old TV station said; “you don’t make television for yourself” – thankfully, this ain’t television, this is youtube, and my rule is simple: if I like something, I do it anyway!

Original YT playout date: 14 June 2008
Duration: 21:11

A poetry recital in the street and a lot more in the eighth of the series on Madrid. Those of you who asked to hear more of the Julio Iglesias piece “Corazon, corazon” will be pleased here. If you want to buy your own copy you’ll find it on my astore. That’d only make me a couple of cents, and the only reason I mention it is that the piece is not easy to find, and quite a few of you have commented in earlier parts of this series that you want to get hold of the product.
