Sounds like a good collective noun. But there's definitely something going on. When I hover over the "Community Home - La Piazza" it turns into "Country Homes - restored". I think elicat has got at it already!!!
Trying to upload something, so have chosen my description of my train trip to Ancona, previously published in the old forum. Don't know if it will work, as I've had to use the "video" button as that seems to be the only upload at the momentA
I've clicked on ~"create a post", then given it a title. I've highlighted the topics "Introductions" and "Weddings", just to see where it ends up. I've put in my location, and tagged it "testing" and "posting".
Heeello - anybody there? I seem to be able to post even though my request to join is pending. A glitch, a back door, or my c*ck up?? Anyway, hope I'm in and I'll check back tomorrowAnne
Not sure if this is the right place for this but anyway..... I've managed to subscribe to posts and am now getting masses of emails. I can't find how to unsubscribe again. Can someone talk me through it?
....carried out by Aberdeen University found that the average Scotsman walks 900 miles a year. Another study by the Scottish Medical Association found that Scotsmen drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year That means, on average, Scotsmen get about 41 miles to the gallon. Something to be proud of!!!
Well as a lone Englishwoman in a housefull of Scots, I'm expected to support whoever is playing against England. Actually I just check out the musculature and ask inappropriate questions at crucial moments......
Give it up Rosko. Since italiauncovered sees fit to describe certain members here as b**ches, it's debatable as to who should be doing the apologising.
Agree about life being too short, but the legal position is that if you allow him to work your land for a certain number of years (and I've heard everything from 6-15) then he has acquired rights over it. It's one of those things where you don't want to insult him by suggesting he needs to sign something, set against peace of mind (which I recognise I have now disturbed - sorry!) I'm in the proccess of having to fence off a bit of a field because my neighbour constantly allows his contractor to cultivate it and noone involved will sign anything. I'm actually quite happy for the cultivation to continue, since it saves me having to keep the land clean. But the neighbour concerned is notorious locally for being "un vecchio volpe" and I've had enough of everyone throwing up their hands and saying I must do something about it
Actually I was responding to qui gia not you Colonel. As far as your avatar goes, I was making a joke about the fact that qui gia says this forum is boring and your avatar looks bored (hence, in her words, "one of us") Don't think you'll get much banter going if you take offence that easily. Alanh says it all, and I don't think this site is immune to stowaways either
So on that basis, Valentina, you will have to go. It was based on a Broadway musical. It's suposed to reflect Fellini's masterpiece 81/2 - telling of his difficulties with creative block and various "woman issues" I can't stand the "woman issues" - wife, mistress, mother, muse etc. And although there's some slight suggestion that he's learnt his lesson by the end of the movie, and has grown up and learnt to treat women properly - frankly, so what! And in the meanwhile it's an excuse for a lot of fantastic actresses to do a variety of "bump and grind" numbers in the name of art! (Although Judi Dench at the Folies Bergere was a bit of a turn-up for the books) I'd pardon all of this if the songs were good, but the lyrics are pathetic and the dance numbers sub/sub "Moulin Rouge". On the up side - Daniel Day-Lewis is fabulous - and carries off the wounded Italian male with mother issues fantastically. And since it's set in the early 60s, the cars are good too!

I think his avatar shows the Colonel is clearly one of you qui gia. Since you find us so boring - any reason you're still here at all?
...but in nearby Montefalcone it was pretty straightforward to get a Telecom line in. Are you actually v isolated? Or is MSM a "no-telecom zone"??
