Heh, heh, why do think I live here in northern Italy? Honest, I haven't had too much to drink tonight: last game of the season tomorrow afternoon....

Oh, come on now. That shouldnt be too difficult!

anch'io

Alpine's first comment is negative. There's a surprise.

Any significance in Antonio's absence?

Anybody there?

Hmm, lots of Shirley residents here! First turn left into Mayflower Road, ISTR. No deer but foxes, I think. As a lover of venison I'm sure there must be a way of exploiting excess deer. Seeing as they don't have any natural predators we have to take that role.:-) If you take the train across to Chichester you'll always see plenty of deer. As for the rabbits...!

Thank goodness!

I once heard of a landlord who didn't rent (after a particularly gruesome experience) to IT contractors from the Indian sub-continent. Basically young guys away from home (with all that implies) plus back home they all had maids and other servants and the attitudes that go with it. Perhaps the test would be: "do you have servants at home?"!

Fortunatelyreal ale only during my annual holiday visits to the UK, otherwise I'd have to work even harder at keeping my figure and fitness for football!

It's the little things that are the most telling. Good questions at no. 6. Good point about minutes. The Pompey fans know they are being shafted, and not by the PL.

Oi, 'twas me that spotted it! Mind you, I did chuckle at John B's comment. Anyway, I reckon my local mountains are higher than Alpine's.

Well, the roe are dried and eaten in Sardinia: Bottarga is a great delicacy. I'd definitely clean one thoroughly though!

From the OS: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2036756,00.html Anyway, I did mine this current season, so over to you guys...

Thanks! I'll bear it in mind: I've friends near Halifax, Harrogate, and Huddersfield, as it happens so there's a good chance I'll be that way in August ..("From Hull and Halifax and Hell, good Lord deliver me"). If I do I shall be back for pub recommendations...

Anybody know when they come out? I try and see a few games on my summer trip to the UK and fit in visits to friends at the same time so a bit of advance planning is necessary. I'm much more optimistic about next season and even hope to see an away win after this season's depressing game at Huddersfield, only alleviated by some very nice pints of Timmy Taylor's.

I think immediately after the FA cup will be even more interesting!

Me too! A hack down the autostrada or more likely getting the cheapo trains here. A visit to the Uffizi Gallery, a quick apperitivo (or two), and then off to see the Saints. Dream on! Even better, I play for a women's football team with the same colours as Fiorentina. Time for bed as I'm on the bench for tomorrow...

Cherries 2 nil up, so at least a local derby next season.

How's McNish playing?

Is that one of Comical Andy's prices or did he get advice? To replace Wooton on a free and lower wages than he's getting at Pompey would be about the only way to do it.

Dunno, how often does your ILS fail?!

Yeah, I was over from Italy and went to the Hudddersfield away game!

Well, I didn't think we'd make the play-offs but I'll leave it to others (another?) to say "I told you so". But it's been a fun season and far better, I think, than most of us expected.

I thought that was the whole point.. I'm going....
