Another friend saidthey would bring some out for me (which they did), and brought enough to keep us going for a few years, we had to share them out............. S

alison.g............. I understand what you are saying, but I did not say others should not look at the post, what I said was that I don't like to see advertising such as this, especially when there is a group already called 'Items for sale or free'.

Rickardo............. We europeans know 'soccer' as 'football' (!)..............and you will not be alone in shouting FORZA ITALIA!!!! I will be with you all the way, The game itself will be very tough as I think Spain are the stronger side (particularly as individuals) and, with the shock of Italy's win over the Germans, the Spanish will be 'well up for it' ( a technical turn of phrase !). FORZA ITALIA !!!   cool S

I have on occasion criticised this forum and have been truly shot down by long standing member(s). I have to say there are at times frustrations, but.............. the recent interactions regarding the IMU tax has been VERY interesting and informative (to me at least !) hang on in there guys, it is not that bad !!

Apparently, itis not 'their' job to collect taxes, it is YOUR job to pay taxes (!!!!!!!!!!!!) Yes, it could be handled a tiny bit better blush, there is a facility on the bank that I'm with (Banca della Marche) whereby you can fill the F24 in online (after you have done the calculations. I have to say, if someone sends me a bill and I feel it is valid I pay it. It is just the ridiculous mess of understanding the calculations and THEN..............adjusting it to accommodate their 'new' calculations which are to be made in September !! It's a good un !! S
