Chela – can you actually tell it’s the one in Salamanca or was that a lucky guess?

I don’t think “beer-alienated brain” is something I want on my CV, but it’s an interesting expression!

Oh, yeah — “alley-oop”, as we say in English, or “allez-hop” in French.

Nice picture, It seems the shop the franchise has in calle María Auxiliadora , Salamanca, am I right?

Hop is an onomatopeyic interjection used in Spanish to express the movement of a jump. Ale is the Spanish adoption of the French prepositional adverb alée-on, towards, to the leeside… The use of these two words is related to the Circus.The Ringmaster says “alehop” when an artist performs an extraordinary jump, pirouette or alike. It may be translated as “come on and jump”(as the Van Halen’s song hehehe), “(on)jumping” or, the most suitable way in my opinion “here he goes”

Your association of ideas is brilliant, worthy of a beer alienated brain.GENIAAAAL.

When I was in Helsinki last year, there were large posters proclaiming ALE everywhere. Turned out it means SALE in Finnish. Oh well.
