I'm not sure how I can explain to my Italian students the different nuances of the use of cock as against pr!ck. The literal Italian version is cazzo. All I can say is that I hope I don't have to use any of them whilst listening to the game...

Blow... see if this works: http://pila.it/homepage.asp?l=e&s=i

Snow down to about 1200m and lower yesterday although it was so sunny today the lower stuff will have melted. This is my local hill... javascript:ApreWebcamPanorama('panorama.jpg','o_pag');void(0);

You must be a pub quiz or trivial pursuits expert to rival MLG!;-)

I really can't help laughing at you Alpine, although I can understand why other people get p****d off with you: you pounce on the negative like a primary school bully pounces on the nice kid. It wasn't brilliant, we're missing our best player who can unlock defences, we looked tired, had a man sent off, Reading had done their homework and we didn't play well but still got a point away. What the F do you expect every week? I hope you noticed the result in Manchester, and does that tell you anything?

Next team to play them will win as Reading will be absolutely knackered..

Sod, off for a consoling beer....

Just finished a lesson so €25 to spend: might go for beers today as I drink wine too fast. A couple of local Morettis and a couple of Budvars in the fridge and Marstons Pedigree in reserve 5 floors down in the cellar. I hope these are going to celebratory beers, not consoling ones...

Here I am.. Cervinia opens on the 29th October and the real alpine Saint will be there: my bank account has taken a hit as I've already got my regional ski-pass (with 40% residents discount). As I've lost a lot of my teaching hours as a result of the crisi I could well be using it a lot if I can afford the petrol! When I went to see the pre-season at Thun the other season I chatted to a scientist working in Switzerland but I can't remember her name. I'm not one for wearing footie shirts around but I do wear mine to training occasionally, and my car is easily identifiable;-), but never seen any Saints insignia on holidaymakers. I keep hoping for a pre-season friendly on this side of the Alps, and getting a few well paid days of interpreting work as well!

I suspect basic plans are already in existance (with loadings/stresses calculated) as the stadium was designed with expansion in mind. How long it would take to throw up an extra tier on one side I've no idea. There must be the odd site agent on here, so let's wait an see.:-)

Sod it, my face hurts I'm grinning so much! Why didn't Cork play from the beginning, haven't seen any reasons given. I'm now off to discharge my rechargeable batteries... :-))) I'm going to be so frisky at footie training tomorrow evening: I promise to wear a Saints shirt.:-)

I#m so glad this poor teacher of English splashed out on Saints Player.. Get that footage up quick!

Whehay. Just in from an evening out drinking wine and watching Napoli Bayern. I reckon we must have been better! 32 k and a win! Come on Alps..... The hills are alive with the sound of music.... Oooooooh When the Saints...

From t'other thread "Block 2 is definitely open... I just bought two tickets in it " - so looking good. The exiles Nun's, lucky smokes, Old Speckled Hens etc. are all ready to lend positive vibes from afar.

Yeah, it's bullying, we should stop it. But allow ourselves a little giggle if they ever use it again..

I mistook it for his pension..

Seconded! Nice to have an English commentary, and very complimentary about us too, so didn't miss my regular esson on Rumanian football language. Couldn't say thanks yesterday as my subscription has run out. (PS Steve, I've sent you an email). I thought our ball retention was good, very few wasted passes, although penetration and finishing still lacking a bit. Not sure why people on another thread are moaning about atmosphere: maybe the mikes were well placed but sounded good on the box. What chance of a stream for the WH game?

sopcast link work = jerky = sod 1 down

Because he didn't want to be left in the merda at a more critical stage of the season. He wanted to control the timing: not allow AP to dictate it.

Tried with Lidl gin once. It was vile.

Rum in your thermos of tea....

Can't vouch for it but somebody told me he was one, but she's a bit in denial.. But the question on divorce, how many hours a kid can work; some of those questions I'm not even interested in knowing and I'm generally a glutton for useless information.

My apologies to Tame! You are right!

That's not nice. Mack has actually no illusions about the situation and has a very good line in snappy irony and black humour: the complete opposite of Corpse, in fact.

It depends how different the places are and their size. I live in small city Italy and I'm certainly not a classic expat; this morning I had a natter with an English friend but she's about the only one I have, all the rest are locals. I bench warm for a local footie side, play traditional music from the area with other musicians, have a reasonably active social life and don't earn very much: enough to have a ski season pass and go pretty often. I suspect if I were teaching in Dubai I'd been even poorer, although my experience of teaching UAE cadets in the UK was positive enough.
