We have the basic Sky contract here in Italy and used to be able to purchase Premier League matches on Primafila where the games were listed with a code and you could select and pay individually for those matches you wanted to see.

I thought I had got this sorted out and knew how much I had to pay but looking on our Comune website to see what aliquota they had decided on I found a link (whch also apperars on other Comune websites mentioned in a previous thread) called Calcol

As there is such a wealth of knowledge in the Community I wonder if anyone has any advice/ suggested links about this query which I am posting for a friend who lives in Italy and is now an Italian resident.

Wishing all Community members a very happy New Year. Let's hope that 2012 is going to be better than the pundits lead us to believe. Whatever happens la bella Italia will come through it. I'm an optimist - and raise my half full glass....

Apologies if some of you have a sense of deja vu but, as the only reply to my earlier post under Ryanair charges for using credit cards etc was from Andiamo (thank you!), I thought I might get a better response under a more specific heading.A frie

No more complaints from me (for a while....) about Ryanair! I have read with interest, in the past, posts complaining / lauding Ryanair and my sympathies have tended to be with the complainers. Not any more .... at least for a while.

We have only just discovered VPNs (which I don't really understand!) to enable watching UK TV including Sky Go in Italy and had mixed experiences with the one we signed up to for 1 month as a trial.

Yes - I agree Gala Placidia. One of my treats when I come over to Italy in the winter. It is toe-curlingly good. More like a dessert than a drink. I always use a teaspoon with mine.
Good to hear that sprostoni. If it does happen again then you hopefully have found a solution which will work. Car working, kind friends, food cupboard re-stocked, internet working...... :)
Great recipes Gala Placidia - thank you. For an alcoholic warm you up - how about a hot toddy, whisky with honey, lemon juice and spices like cinammon stick, cloves and grated nutmeg. Non-alcoholic - large mug of hot chocolate. I'm just about to make one for myself to warm up. Though, if you want to spice it up, a dash of Baileys in the hot chocolate is also very warming.
Thanks for update Fillide re charging and explaining the situation. Any news on the car front sprostoni?
One wonders what other important duties these ten soldiers would have been doing if they had not been helping out? The State finances may be in a bad way but this is ludicrous. I am in no way blaming the soldiers - it is those in the hierarchy who made this decision that I blame.
I have just looked on the Comune website of the small town in Northern Lazio where we have a place and on 4 Feb the Mayor ordered schools to be closed on that day because of the bad weather conditions. Also quite a number of SP roads have been shut in the area by the province until the emergency ends. There is no mention of closure of schools this week so I hope that conditions are better.
I had not realised it was so bad. I have just looked up BBC and it says (6 Feb) that 60,000 households in Italy are without power. 36,000 of these are in the Arezzo and Siena region and they have been without power for several days. It is so hard if your heating system needs electricity to power a part of it. I just hope that things improve quickly. It makes the one large fall of snow we had here in NE Herts (the first this winter) seem insignificant. It is rapidly melting though the garden is still ankle deep in snow. You sound well "bunkered in" sprostoni - by force rather than by choice!
Re my earlier post, pass55, I went online to check my last ENEL bill and it definitely says that you can only pay by credit card online with cards issued in Italy - "Le carte di credito valide sono quelle emesse in Italia dai circuiti: Visa, Diners e Mastercard". There is a webpage which tells you how you can pay your bill - link below - and the last method is for people abroad and says you can pay by bank transfer. It gives you IBAN etc and all the things you need to know to make the transfer - but I think you should check what charges, if any, this method would incur. http://www.enel.it/it-IT/clienti/enel_servizio_elettrico/la_tua_bolletta/paga_bolletta/
I love Venice and one of the best experiences / views of it for me was sailing out of Venice on a cruise liner. I do take your point though and wonder if a compromise might be to limit the number of ships as in Antarctica.
