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.

Think Russ is now with us, well have just said welcome to him, so hope its the right one. Morning to all, now off on a shopping trip, Robert hangs around in Self and I hang around in the clothes shops.A
Mobile number is 3318114647, but if its a problem booking, though I hope its sorted out if you pm me I will go up and book for you. The name Ronald comes from a painting by our famous local Italian artist Osvaldo Licini (hope spelling Ok) who lived in our village for many years and now has a museum here, was a contemporary of Picasso and our neighbour Mario is married to the daughter of his fellow artist and friend , I have been shown the paintings that she still has at home, amazing to find in a small rural village.
Excellent title Mox, just waiting too tie up some loose ends before going public, could you have a go at the press release (thats very grand) or i will have a bash, lovely day yesterday, must let other members know of the picnic site in the grounds of the Lago, beautiful to sit by the lake and look at the mountains, and the owners very kindly let all sit there for free (I had thought there was a small fee). Robert did explain it was a fund raising meeting for L'Aquila, they must have thought it was a very jolly one!.Note to fat controller, no food or wine before meeting, the natives become too unruly,A
I think you have said it all Arty, I will just add very friendly service, have been eating there now (with you!) since Robert and I arrived in our village and as you say it just gets better, its very popular with our guests, and having a written menu helps. One last thing, it does now get very busy so booking is advisable.A
Arty, off to bed now after cooking lots of delicious food, wish you could be with us, but soon ? seems weird to call you Arty when we know your real name is Dennis.Ax
But Sarah you always make me trifle!!! (no dont do it really only joking).A
Thanks Moxie, it all seems much clearer now!A
Now I see it , now I dont, ah has come back again, think I had better go shopping for the twiglets.confused of Monte Vidon.
I am excited by our new start, and its great already to see the comments from old friends, hope to make some new ones too.A
