A Miele Auction With a Whiff About It

[panthera]

ah, but then

I think the Italians are still in trauma from having to run the rest of Europe a few years ago. Well, ok, it was about 1600 years ago, give or take a few centuries...
))
What fascinates me most about the Italians is their passion for demanding the EU do this that and the other; formulating and promulgating laws explicit and brilliant in their range and compass.
Then ignoring them completely as either un-enforceable or not in keeping with human nature.
As my Aunt is fond of saying "ma - il Te..., sorry, some folks get upset when I dare to write other than English, so we will translate - "well, you Germans may have civilisation. That is true. But we, we have culture."
Which is a very nasty thing to say. Not only is it arrogant, worse - it is true.

...ebbene sì!

Kevin, what you say is incredible true! Politicians appreciate Italy to be in Europe for their interests and not AS IT WOULD BE BETTER AND TRUE, for people interests!

If I had the opportunity to leave Italy I'd do it! I can't stand here any more with a lifestyle like that.

IMHO, if abroad Italy means Pasta-Pizza-Mandolino, well you don't wrong, Italian kitchen and music are perhaps the olnly two things good of my country, I don't absolutely believe that the Italian government and management would be exported abroad!!!!

Although that I can't say I'm not proud of what good there is overe here )

However....

German culture is VERY VERY appreciated here form Italian People, even because in the 50s and in the 60s many people emigratede from Italy to Germany.
VERY Compliments for what you did to organize the "Mondiali2006"

(But now I think woul be better to let's turn on the discussing argument to dont' make anyone upset...shhhhh!!! :-°

you germans!!

panthera you says that you ignore Brussels? Lucky you, you only have to try to ignore that city for 50 years. We over here try to ignore it for about 175 years, and we still manage to do it!! Only the belgians know how to ignore Brussels.

nun ja,

I was thinking more of the Eurocrats than the people of the city. I have always found them to be pleasant and surprisingly welcoming.
Of course, maybe they thought we had come to pick up the parliment and take it away. Would explain why they were so nice...
But that's ok. You can keep them. You have much more experience with them than we do...
