The fable of the man and the Italian post system I know a lot of people don’t like it when people complain about this country, so here is a little story instead. Once upon a time, a man wanted to send a document to the palace of DVLA in a far away

I have been meaning to go for years, but the mother-in-law lives round the corner and it seems a bit wrong to drive all that way and not see her. But Sunday we did the honourable thing and lied about where we were when she rang.

So Mills has been found not guilty by the time running out on his trial. Berlusconi's will continue as it had a break, but the time on this will run out in November and everyone agrees that it will not be finished by then.

So in the past year we have been told that the main reasons for accidents in Italy are drinking, foreigners and now smoking.

Thank you both.Very useful Mark
Personally I price both here and the UK, then it's a judgement call.My LCD TV I got from Media world and a new Amp from Amazon. Amazon will send most thing to Italy now with the painful exception of Media storage(DVD's, Hard drives etc). I would agree with Whoever wrote about instructions, usually I don't have a problem, but a Samsung DVD recorder without English was a real struggle.I would not worry about warrenties as if the thing works out of the box, it is going to last till a week after the warrenty expires, if it is for 1 year or a 100.

There are a number around Rome with Tivoli the closest and easiest to get too. But you will find that most are closed for the winter now. We have one, Terme Cretone about 15 minutes away. It is advertised as being open 365 days a year, but I have never managed to find it open even in the summer. The answer is to call first. Mark
I cross the river every day and lately it smells like a dead dog.

I just follow one simple rule that has not let me down so far [size=30]Never leave the house in August![/size] Ok. I did nearly die of starvation last year and got 95% burns walking to the car on 1st September, do to my skin not being used to the sun. But I think that's a same price to pay for avoiding the traffic madness. Mark
I think we are way passed that already. Has anyone had Ostrich yet?
Two stone clicking could be a Warbler alarm call and as someone has already said it is most lightly Sardian or Blackcap. Check those out. Mark
Just to Berlusconi.The guy just puts my teeth on edge. He spends all his time lining his own pocket and trying to look good. I always assumed that if you get off on a technicality it meant that there was a good chance you were guilty. Here it is taken as not guilty?
It reminds me of watching the men with the 3 walnut shells and the pea at Portaportese market. The first time I saw this, I watched the shells being swapped around and I noticed the guy palm the pea. It seemed to me to be badly done and I thought at first that it was part of the act. Then punter bet and obviously lost. I continued to watch for a few more times and he did the same thing every time. But what amazed me most was not the fact that he was doing it, but the fact that no one else in the crowd had seen anything. He was cheating in front of everyone and not very well, but he was getting away with it!! Now I imagine having a nightmare where Belusconi plays with his nuts, the whole of Italy watching, I'm screaming not to place a bet and no one can hear me. It's even worse than the one with the giant spider
