Morning - the above is the name of a local paper.  We can only make it out as "The remainder of the pug" - any ideas?? Or is that some old Italian proverb - in which case, what does it mean???

OK I've slightly oversold it in teh title - but this is better than a lot of Italian websites.  Check out your own spot in the new Fermo Province. http://www.provinciadigitale.it

Morning.  I'm working on a translation of an Italian newspaper article about Italians assisting escaped PoWs.  Can anyone help with this sentence? "Durante i mesi passati a lavorare alla Sforzesca i ragazzi conoscono anche un altro fitta volo che

Thanks KevanLooks like the walk starts some way from Castellucio.  Is there an obvious starting point or do you just plunge in off the road?

Now Andrew - what cultural difference are you trying to illustrate?  Pedantic English versus flamboyant continental???  (Though come to think of it, for some reason I've always thought of Gala as Australian)

What's going on?  Rain all May - couple of nice days towards the end of the month (coinciding with my visit) - then torrential rain again and now heatwave.Is there something happening to our climate that we should know about?

It used to be really helpful to be able to hover over a post title and see the first line of the actual post.And if we're having a "quotes" system - will that get rid of the current "reply" system which means posts aren't in chronological order and v hard to follow as a thread?

It's nice to be able to let someone know with a quick "grazie" that you appreciate their post.But is it just me who hovers for ages wondering whether to or not?  It's a bit like Yes/No/Don't know questions - it's always more complicated than that.The obvious answer is that I should never grazie anyone if I feel like that - but then I worry that just makes me look permanently ungrateful!My neurosis means I'm happy without the grazie button and writing a few words of appreciation when I feel moved to do so. I agree about the regions though PennyAW

Hi Lisa - have you tried the"My activity" button in the banner at the top.  That at least brings up all the threads you've participated in - I presume in the order of new postings

I agree that it is difficult to follow threads logically now.  Not sure what to suggest though.   However, can I put in a request for a "new posts" flag on topics?  That was how I used to browse the old forum, and/or used the search facility
