Can anyone advise please, our UK TV which we bought over here appears to have given up the ghost (we get Sky Italia through it). Its sound is fine but the picture is just a thin bright line.

I think the thing with advertising via public posters was something Andrew pointed out, I think at the meal Sarah so you probably didnt hear.Correct me if I am wrong Andrew, but we are not registered as a charity, and the issue of collecting money might come to the attention of officialdom, with all that entails, as it is we seem to be getting in the numbers via the community and friends, could you not just explain what we are doing and why and then just invite them?A
Have tried the Avon Skin so Soft oil, didnt work for me.A
As ever, thanks Keith, Micky and Nana.Ax
I think it is fair to say that if they are coming to the BBQ its 10euros irrespective of if they only eat a burger! it is for an excellent charity, so harden your heart Sarah. And yes it would be too complicated to set different prices and unfair on those who have paid the full whack for a ticket. parking is going to be difficult and I would prefer that those who have paid 10e get priority. Would love to see Italians there but think about it, Nobody else has a problem with the entrance fee. Anyone else have an opinion?And thanks for all the research!A
Also as Andrew has pointed out, we need to keep guests away from the hot BBQ especially children, ooooh can I be the children police?...no just joking, but we do need to be aware of the health and safety issues for our guests and everyone just keep an eye on whats going on.A
Thats OK by me Sarah, we were just sitting eating lunch and talking about greedy people (!) piling their plates up with food, but am I right in thinking that meat will be served, and that Mark will smack anyone who is a piggy with his spatula?Re price list, wine and beer 1euro a glass to keep it simple?, soft drinks 50c?.A
Love the idea of small fruit tarts, in fact could just eat one now!, please go ahead instead of salad.Hope this OK with everyone else I am just the co ordinater not the decision maker, thats a joint effort, but I guess some sort of dolce would be very welcome, especially strawberries,A
Meal tickets as cheap as you can make it , as long as the meaning is clear, are we buying these, must be a local place the festa organisors get them from.A
Thanks Keith, Micky and Nana, much appreciatedAx
Think we must all have our beetle noir, for me I love the bees, tolerate the wasps, but what I find hard to get used to are the hornets, at 5.30 this morning one was having a great attempt at getting through the closed shutters, to join me in the bedroom, I think its the sheer size of them and that whilst I know they are not aggressive a sting would send me off to the nearest A&E.A
