Good Italian Things...
DIESEL
Nope, I'm not going to waffle on about eco friendly fuels, but in my continuing micro-attempt to raise the feel-good factor for Italy in these troubled times, I'm going to have a look at an Italian brand, which, at first, quite a few years, I did not know was Italian

In these troubled times in Italy, I'm going to buck the trend and have a look at something which puts Italy in the kind of light it should be in permanently

Don't throw it way. Eat it!

Sausage Progress
2007 | Filed Under Life in Italy | Leave a Comment
With a little bit of luck a few bags of super sausage mix should arrive in Milan today. This means that I can ask the butcher to order the pork and sausage production can commence. The prospect is mouthwatering.

A rather cool coder called Rob Marsh, who appears to be a Roman Catholic priest, wrote the excellent ‘similar posts‘ WordPress plugin that I’ve just installed. I’m still getting the hang of the thing, but the results are already looking interesting.

Levi-Prodi blog gaggers extraordinaire
2007 | Filed Under Italian politics | Leave a Comment
Yes, I was a bit slow on the uptake re the Levi Prodi attempts to censor bloggers attempts to tell it how it is with regard to the situation in Italy. But I am not all that surprised that there was something of a time lag between the information getting out and ending up in my view. Incidentally, I found out about this ‘gag the bloggers’ law proposal via the pocket pc version of Google news, which presents news items about Italy in English.

Just another manic Monday
2007 | Filed Under My son | Leave a Comment
Today was a little hectic. We had to get up early and head off to a hospital on one side of town so our son could have some blood samples taken. The doctors want to know why his level of anti-corpuscles is falling slightly and this means they want to carry out series of tests at one hospital followed by another test at another. A consequence of this wish was that yours truly had to fly across Milan to the San Raffaele hospital complex with a small phial of my son’s blood.

I think it may be true to say that my feet have quite a lot in common with Italy’s current bunch of politicos.

Celtic Invasion of Milan
2007 | Filed Under Events | Leave a Comment
Well, almost. If you are in Milan this weekend, there is quite a nice ‘Celtic new year’ fair thing in Parco Sempione this Sunday. There are people in full costume and quite a few stalls were you can buy just about anything from dragons to swords for dragon slayers. A smattering of Roman soldiers are on hand to make sure the Celtic celebrations don’t get out of hand, or so I imagine.

Heck I’ve been a bit slow - Prodi is trying to gag Italy’s bloggers!

Those erstwhile politicos who purport to ‘run’ Italy, have come up with a nice little proposal for a law that will effectively ban personal blogs. Obviously Beppe Grillo’s efforts to bring Italy’s public employees to heel has got them all rather worried.

Many of my students at the business school where ply my language teaching trade are going through the traumatic ‘looking for an internship’ phase at the moment and one of my charges raised quite an interesting question. He asked ‘Should I include a photo with my CV?’. I’m afraid I was unable to answer this question directly, aside from replying with a decidedly non-committal , ‘It depends’.
