Sergio non ti preoccupare!!! I'll leave it with a full tank, newly insured and taxed.
Full set of matching Ferrari luggage, umbrella and matching lap top too.
Cosa vuoi di più??? :p
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Perfect ! You are a true English gentleman !
But being myself a typical hospitable and generous Italian, I won’t leave you empty-handed. Instead of your terrific Ferrari I’ll leave you my modest, middle class Toyota 4x4, so that you won’t say that I’m the ordinary Italian pickpocket.
Ciao

Aaah !! Dimenticavo... thank you very...very much, but you forgot to tell me when and where .... :D
Ciao

Where? Gradara. When?? Il giorno che si sposa il Papa!!!!
Non sono un English gentleman ma una donna scozzese!!!!:p

Then you are a true Scottish Madame.
No problem ! Do not worry, I’m coming to steal your Ferrari, not you !
A parte gli scherzi….grazie per avermi dato lo spunto per uno scherzetto e complimenti per la Ferrari ! Vorrà dire che mi terrò la Toyota…
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Si per il momento devi tenere La Toyota ed io devo tenere la mia Peugeot 307cc.
A girl can dream!!!
I probably wouldn't know how to drive a Ferrari anyway. My husband declares I cann't even drive what I've got never mind the prancing horse!!! Men.:p
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Dreamy..
Why did you tell Sergio you have a Peugeot? I was enjoying this banter between you.. and even if a lady has a husband.. she must NEVER admit she can't handle a prancing horse!
:D :D
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Anastasia I told him I had a Peugeot because that's the car I use when I go to buy the papers and me cigs!!!
The Ferrari is my other car the one I use for pulling and cruising!!!!
The horses are coming under control quite nicely. Sugarlumps are working wonders!!!!:cool: :cool: :cool:
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Typical man he's given up already! Sergio, you're Italian you have a reputation to keep up, leaving this poor woman and her Ferrari! ;)
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Dreamy..
Forget the sugar lumps.. you should dangle a carrot.. if that doesn't work.. well, there is always the whip. I hear it never fails..
:D :D
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
The whip comes after the "pulling" part Anastasia!!!!!:o :D
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Cara TRULLOMARTINAFRANCA….
I don’t understand what reputation you are talking about. That of thief or “latin lover” ?
Please don’t tell me you were thinking about me like the typical Italian suitor running after every bit of skirt he sees. I've always considered myself a little better than that.
That is the first Italian habit I hate, the second one is the squawking on the last fashion UMTS cell phone like a flock of ducks in the train that links Gatwick airport to Victoria Station….I really hate when we try to export our most stupid habits.
There are many other Italian things I like, but really not these (believe me…there are many like me).
Thief ? No thanks. Firstly I guess I wouldn’t like spending 5-6 years in jail, secondly I have a job that I love and that allow me to have an honorable life. I have everything I need….ok, I cannot afford a Ferrari…but who knows…after a short trip to Gradara everything can happen… :)
By the way, if that avatar is your own trullo you should know that I like it very much, it’s simply beautiful.
Cara ANASTASIA….. You are a very bad girl!!!?? You know that. Isn’t it ?
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Caro Sergio..
Si, lo so.. sono cattiva e casinista.. ma anche molto simpatica! :D
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Se i tuoi genitori sono di origini napoletane allora non oso mettere in dubbio che sei simpatica ! :D ;)
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Bravo!
Tu sei sveglio eh? Hai di mente e occhio acuto! :D
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Sorry Sergio :o and I was thinking more of the Latin lover.
No, the avatar is not my Trullo cos Dave got there first for his avatar. Our Trullo is much more humble. I chose the photo for my avatar because it's our favourite coffee bar in Aberobello with a very nice waiter! ;) Oops! (Dave will kill me) who recognises us every time we go. We understand very little we are all saying to each other but still make friendly conversation none the less.
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec

Why hasn't your Trullo got magical signs on the roof? :D

I know you were thinking of that. You know, every time we go abroad we must face the following stereotypes imposed by a very old (and unfair) equation:
Italian = spaghetti, mandolino, mafia, latin lover, "volare"
Mafia means organized crime not simple thief or pickpocket so that I excluded from the very beginning the idea of thief.
Your trullo is beautiful.

Hey Trully Scrumptious!!!
I'm UK born, nicely tanned, have 2 Ferraris;) and will only look at Barolo, Amarone and Vega Sicilia!!!
There goes your stereotype eh!!!!
Sergio I don't think people will be talking about mafia, latin lovers and spaghetti at the moment. More like Moggi, Prodi and le veeeeeeeeeeline!!!
Tutto il mondo è un paese!!!:D :D :D

Trulli,
Your Italian is improving and you had me laughing at the thought of you and Dave in pointy hats standing up in the Igloo! I think Italian Style is rubbing off on you! Brava!
I dont want to talk about Moggi, Prodi or Noddy.. I want to talk about mafia, latin lovers and spaghetti - especially the latin lovers.
Does anyone know where they are to be found? :D
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Thank you….thank you and again thank you; you are too kind, but you know better than me that a good part of your fellow countrymen do not think like you.
I'm proud of being Italian, believe me, but I think an Anglo-Italian mixture could produce a much better result, I mean take the good things of both people and I'm sure the result would be amazing.
Ok, don't think I want to experiment with genetics like a moustached mad German 65 years ago, chasing the mirage of the chosen race...:eek: :eek:
Dream Academy is right, at the moment we have much bigger problems….Prodi is a good man, but he has the ability to make me fall asleep, he speaks like an old primary-school teacher in a classroom of reckless pupils….you have no idea how much I envy you your politicians, maybe Mr. Blair is not so popular right now, but I hold him in high esteem.
About football, I don’t care about it. I don’t like it. I much prefer Formula 1 and tennis…

Sorry, Dreamy ... seems like the area's just turned out to be unsafe after all!

;) Yes I am; to Diana. She's Romanian and quite jealous :D :D I hope she'll never read this post, otherwise better for me to buy a sleeping bag and search for an open air accommodation...
Sometimes I think she is a descendant of a Sicily-born Roman soldier left to conquer the ancient Dacha in the legions of emperor Traian and never went back....

Look at him (Prodi) and his squared face ! Do you know his close friends have nicknamed him [i]pasticcino[/i]. He is a quite greedy person (e si vede !).
:D :D

....Do not misjudge me. Apart from jealousy my wife is the perfect wife :)
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
This may be true Sergio, but Prodi is a powerful man.. and that is an aphrodisiac for some women.
Unfortunately for him.. Anastasia prefers the furbo style of the scugnizzi di Napoli! :D

No, not me, well you never know. I'm happily married too and my name is Dianne. :eek:
I was just trying to do a bit of match making for Anastasia, oh well wait for the next one! :D
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
The Goddess Diana (Dianne, Diane)
Diana was worshipped in ancient Rome. Her greek counterpart, fell under the name Artemis. Diana in Roman worship, was known as a maiden huntress. As centuries past and ancient Rome grew, so did the followings of the goddess Diana.
Diana no longer was classed simply as a huntress, but grew in status.. her path grew as well, she became known as the [B]Queen of Witches[/B].
I knew it!

In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Sergio..
We all call Dianne 'Trulli' - it's a nice nickname for her. Trulli has a very nice sound to it in english.
We will find a good nickname for you in time.
:) :)
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Everyone calls me Trulli on here, I just let my real name slip and no one would have a clue who you were talking about if you used it.
As for being furba, I'll tell you later, have to go to work now! ;)

I was actually wondering when Matron was going to take us on a trip. This shows exactly how lovely and moderate she is and beats the cr*p out of other methods!
I don't care how prim and proper Matron looks in her cap, I know she loves to play with the kids.
I think she should adopt us.. then we could all have jelly and ice cream for tea.

That is another good subject for a new thread. Italians vs. the so called French cousins.

Thanks !
