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!

Water can be really expensive- our local consorzio (which will be different to yours) charges €2000 per linear metre to bury a pipe to bring a contattore (meter) to your house- you will also need to check whether you need to request the rights for your water to cross the land of any neighbouring properties. This is another really grey area as there is no legal requirement for you to have to pay for this right but if a neighbour (or neighbours) chooses to ask you for this you may end up having to pay a fortune for it. We've just been through a nightmare 4 years sorting out getting our water pipe buried and personally in future I would stay well away from any property that didn't have water very nearby & didn't need it to cross anyone else's land

Any minced meat is "macinato" and I think monkfish is coda di rospo (or rospa). the silver spoon is a really good book for names of cuts of meat etc

We've had a number of filling stations near us urn into JJ Low Cost which is really great- they are still owned by the same people but they are now no longer affiliated with companies such as Tamoil and their prices are always low so I can fill up cheaply while still putting money into my local petrol man's pocket

there are websites like helpex where you can find people to work for room & board- I've never used them but I know people who always use them & have been very happy

I worked for several cruise lines in the early 90's and loved it on Costa ships- not only were the officers easy on the eye but the food was fantastic- if I hadn't been so young and active at the time lord knows how much I would've weighed at the end of it! If i was to go on a cruise I would definitely go on a Costa ship
