    What does it say about Italy that I actually believed this until the end of Section 2?

    Hi Miss Expatria,

    Thanks to your observation, I’ve edited the post a little….

    Cheers,

    Alex

    This reads more like an official thing for a longer time, although the other one was just as funny.

    May I ask, where did this idea come from?

    Hi again Miss Expatria,

    “This reads more like an official thing for a longer time, although the other one was just as funny.”

    Objective achieved!

    This ‘idea’ came from all the electioneering that is going on in Italy at the moment and the fact that all and sundry are trying to convince the voters that they are new, even if they are not.

    I thought perhaps a new law could be passed to ensure that everything becomes new! Or at least not old.

    All the best,

    Alex

    Hey - I wouldn’t put it past La Berlusca (as my gay mafia calls him).

    The really funny part of the “law” - “Rome shall be known forthwith as Italy’s new capital.” That made me laugh out loud.

    Hi once again Miss Expatria,

    If the post made you laugh out loud, then I am a happy bunny!

    Kind regards,

    Alex

    Alex, you had me going there!
    As I read it, all I could think was, It’s just the same new shit!

Have your say
