HiI'm going to a concert at San Siro in July and am having trouble working out how to get there from Milan (using public transport) as everything I look at tells me something different from the last thing I looked at!

Sorry this request may be a little vague. I believe that there is some kind of classic car race this weekend (18th/19th June) and have forgotten the name to get more info.

Can anyone suggest a website where I can find out conditions, especially around Switzerland so I can decide whether to chance it or just go through France and also I have an Italian car-do I need to get headlight converters.

Does anyone have Vodafone as their ADSL provider at home (rather than on a mobile phone)? I am so fed up with the ADSL service from Telecom Italia that I am considering telling them to stick it and move over to Vodafone.

Was a bit worried as we hadn't renewed our health cover in January. had been told last month (when I went to the wrong section) that we would only get a year's cover as we're not Italian.

This is a question I've windered about every year for the past 3 years and this year I've actually remembered to ask it!

but how can I join this group- being a bit of a technophobe I've just got over the trauma of having to rejoin the forum but now can't seem to do a blessed thing!

I know somebody in my town (the next one on from Carassai) who brought out an English Sky box and even with a 2m diameter dish only get's a signal for a small amount of the day so my advice would be to get Italian Sky. An electrician I know says that in Marche you'd need a dish of at least 3m diameter to get a reliable signal (not sure if it's something to do with the mountains)

Sorry couldn't get to the bbq and have had no ADSL or phone for a week so couldn't buy the raffle tickets (which is a bummer cos I wanted to win a stay at someone's house). Hope it all went well and the weather wasn't too hot!!

It goes for any legal document (including court summons)that if you are resident in another country it has to be sent to you in your language. Can be a good delaying tactic

Thankyou both for your advice- I'll now go and sort out the plants. Gala I know what you mean about plants & weeds- when I am  growing anything from seed I have to grow it on my balcony in lottle pots cos according to my eyes everything looks like a weed when it first starts growing!

Can't remember offhand- all I know is I have to go to San ben to sort- if I am a different area perhaps it would be interesting to find out if they say anything different to what has been said to you

Thankyou very m,uch for this Valentina- have printed it off to keep as a reference (especially for those pesky object pronouns)Helen

Hi sarah- sorry didn't receive an email- I checked using dial up but it still hasn't come through (the joys of modern communication). I won't be able to make it on Sunday as I'll be working, but hope it doesn't rain & that you have a good turn out

If you knew me AT ALL you would know that while I am many things arrogant is not one of them. I made a 1.5 hr  round trip to get there and had no food in the house for dinner afterwards so forgive  me  (and  that I direct at Sarah & Mark- sorry- I never got the email so don't know what happened there!)if I was a little peed off. I am not interested in getting into a slanging match but would prefer it if people who, and I repeat, do noot know me would refrain from making comments on my attitude

Thanks Valentina- am finding your lessons really useful. Are we allowed requests? If so I would like to know how to deal with mi piace or as I hear more often .......a mi piace. Am not sure how you form this and also the different persons (he, she etc)ThanksHelen

Would've been nice to have received an email about this as I wasn't able to access the internet so didn't see this had been cancelled so found out when I arrived at the house
