Beans on toast every day... saving money for the important things in life like the student bar...

His “second father” tatoo came much later...
Another cupid stunt who threatens much and delivers nothing.

Let's count Maradumbo's tattoos. One of Che Guevara. One of Fidel Castro. And one for his GF, who he calls “Bitch” and has a prominent tattoo with that (“Perra”).

Since this seems to be the last (and one of very few) thread about Fidel, let me start by saying RIP Commandante. The filth from some on here dancing on his grave is sad but to be expected I guess. For me it was a truly moving experience to sign the book of condolences at the embassy and see all the tributes - written, floral and pictorial - left at what had become an impromptu shrine at its door.

And a couple of brilliant speeches on his legacy: http://www.telesurtv.net/english/analysis/Mandela-and-Castro-Friends-Comrades-and-Allies-20141205-0028.html and http://www.telesurtv.net/english/analysis/Mandela-and-Castro-Friends-Comrades-and-Allies-20141205-0028.html
The Maradona story is very interesting too, and very bad news for Macri. I remember a couple of years ago in these threads where some fool was saying Maradona supports Cristina having supported Menem and (I think) the junta, implying that makes her the same as them. In fact, it was pointed out, he is always supportive of whoever is running Argentina. So for him to be now predicting riots and calling for an ouster, instead of trying to get close to the new guy, means Macri must be extremely unpopular and weak. Unfortunately I don't quite think it will be over by Christmas, but this is a very bad omen, that might well point to a shortened term. Anyone know what Maradona said about de la Rua? ;)
Maradona is of no consequence in Argentina now, at least among mature audiences. He is correctly identified with his criminal behaviour, Marxist and misogynistic tattoos, drug dependencies, and inability to speak intelligibly, which of course make him a perennial hero to the Left.
