It's lucky that there's no Irish, Muslims or Catholics on this forum. Could we have some jokes about onion selling frenchmen, mean scottishmen and funny talking chinamen?
When my grandfather was on his last legs and very ill in bed we all went in to him one day and smothered his back in vaseline and lard......... He went downhill very quickly after that.
Hi Pixie, Sweeping generalisations about an entire nation aside, I hope things work out well for you in Italy. Do you really want to travel to Italy to talk about M&S and Boots? You could do that at home! My advice...embrace the language and culture and enjoy it - no matter what level your Italian is at, make the effort with the locals and you'll easily make friends.
Unfortunately this issue is often circular and the sooner the harmonising regulation comes into force the better. I'm not sure how many people this applies to but the position in Ireland (being a common law country) is as Charlotte has outlined. As I live and am domiciled in Ireland (and as I haven't said anything about what jurisdiction is to apply in my death) Italian law would state that Irish law should apply to my assets on my death. However Irish law would then state that as regards immovable property (eg my holiday apartment in Italy) then the law of the country where the property is situate would apply i.e. Italian Law! In this case would it help if I stated in my will that I want Irish law to apply to all of my assets? I presume it would (presuming that is what I want to happen) Thanks Charlotte for starting this important and informative thread.
Normal human body temperature, also known as normothermia or euthermia, is a concept that depends upon the place in the body at which the measurement is made, and the time of day and level of activity of the body. Although the value 37.0 °C (98.6 °F) is the commonly accepted average core body temperature, the value of 36.8±0.7 °C, or 98.2±1.3 °F is an average oral (under the tongue) measurement.[1][2] Rectal measurements, or measurements taken directly inside the body cavity, are typically slightly higher. In Russia and former Soviet countries, the commonly quoted value is 36.6 °C (97.9 °F), based on an armpit reading. The core body temperature of an individual tends to have the lowest value in the second half of the sleep cycle; the lowest point, called the nadir, is one of the primary markers for circadian rhythms.
Hi, I'd echo the commenst about Michel Thomas. He makes a virtue of the fact that you shouldn't revise or memorise or study a text book. I found him very dood for learning the verb tenses and building up phrases step by step rather than rote learning. His fisrt courses are more about structure and so they're not great for vocabulary but as Santamarinese says you can get other CD's in the Michel Thomas method for that.

Whether you like them or not- If you intend to sell your house at any stage to an Italian they will want one so you'd be foolish not to install one.
Don't know much about them but Intasure is a UK based company that says it covers earthquake at reasonable premium.
Hi and welcome to the form. I hope you enjoy it.

Hi Capo Boi,Maybe I'm a bit slow but I don't get the reference. Who's Brad and what's he got to do with a deceased language teacher?
