Due to adverse weather conditions the organisers have no choice but to postpone the planned BBQ event; to be held at 'The Hideaway'; until next Sunday 28th June 2009.We're obviously very sorry for all of you who have made plans to attend, and can
I can personally recommend this eatery; the owner - Marco - makes a big effort to make everyone welcome, and serves a variety of locally produced dishes, most of the veg. coming from his family's land.
If anyone has a passion for Rugby either as a spectator or even player you'll be most welcome at the Tascapa' Touch Tournament, held every other wednesday evening beginning 27 May and going on 'ad infinitum' at San Savino di Ripatransone.
There was a young man from StepkneeWho was stung on the neck by a waspWhen asked if it hurtHe said "no, not a lot;I'm glad it wasn't a hornet"On a more serious note; if you're going to the sea, there's sometimes the danger of being stung by a jellyfish or even step on a stingy fish that lives just under the sand. Jean carries in her Mary Poppins bag a small container of bicarbonate of soda. Applied quickly to the sting, this can ease the discomfort considerably.
Great stuff; when Mark finds my hillarious how will I know it's mine? Actually didn't know I'd lost my hillarious, anyway; thanks Mark for all your kindness in searching for my hillarious, however I'd maybe have a word with your ancestors, anyone who names their son after the noise a dog with a hair lip makes could be a bit suspect...Also bit concerned about folks who sign themselves S & M...
O.k., given that we certainly need a few more raffle prizes; here's some;1. Personal Lesson on How to Place Kick / Drop Kick / Spiral Kick a Rugby Ball 'alla Jonny Wilkinson'.2. Viadana Rugby Tracksuit size suitable for 8-10 year old.3. Viadana Rugby Polo shirt - size XL.4. Scotland RFU peaked cap.5. Quantity 5 Errea Shirt shaped key rings6. Quantity 5 tiny white squidgy Sky Rugby balls (about 10cms long)Don't want to flood the place with Rugby and more Rugby, but it's what we do...Andrew
Anyway; as you say this is getting a bit weird! Should add that it isn't actually MY rugby shirt but a brand new one! I do still have however my Matlock / Old Baileans shirt from my very last game before disappearing to Italy.
Despite having passed 'A' level maths can't understand the code regards numbers, however;Andrew + JeanTerry + MikeIan + Jo Brown + some moreminimum 6 max don't know!Am practicing a song by Police - 'Don't stand so close to me' performed by Sting.... think it was on the 'Bee' side, or maybe was the theme song of Wasps...Sorry, bit silly really, hope the arm is improving...
We arrived by car some years ago. Our car is a right hand drive Renault and had English number plates. We took it to a garage who asked us to return a week later. The car was waiting for us with Italian number plates and all the relevant documentation. Cost us a wedge, but that's life. We then insured it with Direct Line on line in the Italian version. They did not query the fact that it is right hand drive. I did, but they told me it did not make any difference.Word of caution however. The revision (MOT) is required after a period of time. If you take it to a private MOT garage, they will register it, and when the next revision is due will send you an advice note. When however you first change your plates, the Motorizzazione Centre will do all the paperwork, but do not send out 'expiry' advices for the next revision.Nothing can prevent you from being stopped by the forces of law and order for a 'spot check'. We were recently stopped in Ascoli Piceno by the 'caramba', and my revision had expired. One officer wanted to confiscate the car, have me branded with hot irons, throw me in the dungeons and chuck away the key, but the other was much 'softer'. I pleased 'stupid foreigner' and they kindly pointed me in the direction of a revision garage 200 metres away, told me to go there immediately and get it done! Did that, got the certificate, they also added a small sticker that relates to the type of emissions the car makes to enable us to go into or not a town centre where there may be an 'alternate' number plate policy on a particular day. (Anti-pollution etc).Happy motoring...
