We have some galvanized metal garage doors which we applied paint claiming to be suitable for the task, a couple of years ago but not long after began to blister and peel with the heat of the summer.

We think our desktop is nearing the time for replacement, and we need to have a machine running on UK/English software. Have done some research but so far have not found any company that will supply from UK to Italy.

Just a quick question, does anyone know if you are able to register your Italian address with your UK bank account. We have read that this is possible but have also heard differently.

Hi Dylano, thanks for the information. We got the form from Hena the vet in Sarnarno last week, she rang up the regional vet services for us and we have to complete and take the form to our local commune (which is Penna San Giovanni). We have translated the form now (very roughly) and you need to be able to list the number of males and females and any kittens (there are loads around here but a small group of 6 who have adopted us - includes three kittens) so you must be able to get that close to them! Trouble is with the kittens its a bit more difficult to tell. Hena said we have to keep on at the commune to get the form submitted, so maybe we will just have a go and sort it out. We don't want to be overrun with more kittens, can't bring ourselves to do what a neighbour suggested (involving a shovel!) and its an expensive business to take on personally. I think we'll just register the cats who adopted us as its impossible to tell how many more there are about. I just wanted to see if anyone had actually been through it. Apparently this is a Le Marche thing, not sure about the other regions. Thanks for your interest. Jo
Thanks.
Yes, we've felt them here too - Penna. Quite strong as you say Penny. The dog gives us a few seconds warning by being very spooked before we feel them. Hope they stop now. SimonandJo
Hi you two. Here are a couple: Extra Virgin by Annie Hawes -pretty good A Valley in Italy by Lisa St Aubin de Teran - OK, but she obviously has too much money!! Italian Neighbours by Tim Parks - excellent The Italian Quarter by Domenica de Rosa - excellent Another good one but based on Spain is Driving Over Lemons. Cant't remember who wrote it but it was the drummer in Genesis before the little feller, Phil Collins. It's very good and there is also a sequel called somthing like A Parrot in a Tree. Happy ordering. SimonandJo i
The website viamichelin.com is pretty good and very up to date at the time you do any journey planning.
No. I just sent our requests through to customer service at the address on the bills.
Try this link, It's just for ENEL, I am not sure whetherr the other utilities have "non-residential" rates. http://www.italymag.co.uk/community/post/enel-change-status-non-resident-resident
Try www.italian.about.com it's not too bad for some basic stuff
Hi, yes, it does say up to 7mbps but someone (with a lot more technical savvy than I have) says its v unlikely that anyone would get anything like that. Anyway its a lot better than dial-up!Jo
Hi Sprostini, 0.69 was my download speed and I've just checked it again sorry I suppose the 0 and the. were important! Duh. Upload is 0.27 and Ping is 69. Sorry if I confused you...Had problems last night when we wanted to watch strictly - but not sure if our server was working so will try again tonight. Si watches the grand prix on it mainly to listen to the english commentary! Its not brilliant but we only watch a few things so it suits us for a bit of entertainment every now and then.JO
