RE: seaching for my right woman

Gee, thanks Miss S.

RE: seaching for my right woman

You're not also about to sprinkle me with incense, are you?

RE: seaching for my right woman

Never. There. I've said it.

Besides, there ain't too much 'common' about me.

RE: seaching for my right woman

Woo hoo Miss S. !

RE: seaching for my right woman

Well, it won't be me. I've done my bit for the human race.

Now, is my time to enjoy, cooking and... stuff

RE: seaching for my right woman

BTW. I would consider a cleaner though.

It would free me up to do some more important things

RE: i bet none of you people have EVER GONE THROUGH ANY REAL EMOTIONAL TRUAMAS IN YOUR LIFE ??

makeshift security reporting for duty. CS mods are on their smoko break.

So, without further ado.

Gilly, YOU'RE BANNED!!!

RE: seaching for my right woman

What's to learn?

RE: seaching for my right woman

Dammit. I am all natural. Dammit.

Thinking of downsizing though

RE: seaching for my right woman

Looks like I'm pretty screwed though.

We don't have any snow here for me to practice in!

RE: seaching for my right woman

Terrific. And if you're lucky, she's attended the right 'husband catching' course, that has taught her how to walk in stilettos in soft snow.

That's gotta be a draw card!

Wrong

Every time I open up one of your new threads, gilly!

Shall we dance? - Music and Dance, food for the soul

What takes your fancy?

I can't live without it. Not for very long, at any rate.

Depending on my mood, the music could be anything from pop and rock'n'roll to good classical.

As for dancing, from watching spellbound, the magic of a fabulous ballet/modern dance production, to moving to music such as Latin American style, modern ballroom, bellydancing(beginner), folk dancing, and the kind of 'anything goes' dance

I remember years ago, attending a production of Stravinski's ballet "The Soldier"(I think that was it's name), in a quaint Concert Hall in the city of Barga in Italy. It was almost like a'toy' theatre, and the vision and emotion is still with me.

Also, when was the last time you danced and where? Or attended some kind of dance production?

Oh, yes, LIVING la dolce vita. As in Fellini's movie?

No, I will not be reading "Mein Kampf".

I shall stick to exploring a lighter side of EU living.

RE: success with connecting singles

Wonderful news, ubtru, And congratulations to you and Ken.

And may I say it is refreshing to find someone able to be so open about their joy.

Hi solitare

I agree that spending time to get to know one place really well is the only way to firstly, develop that sense of belonging and connectedness, and secondly, to start to understand how that community 'works'. So you make an interesting suggestion about running for public office of some sort. Something to consider in the future.

I do still speak Italian, though no formal education as I completed all my schooling here. I must say, I really surprised myself on my last trip over. While my grammar left a lot to be desired, I felt strangely confident speaking to people, which was not the case on previous trips there. Maybe it was the idea that I was soon going to be a REAL Italian again.

Hey there Harry.

But how will I get to know the EU community that way?

But chat to you soon

Hi Lillym,

Good to meet you. Actually, an Australian footy final, all but stops the nation. No open inspections are ever set for that weekend!

Well, as fantastic as Liverpool may be, I don't think I would survive very long in Berlusconi inter Milan country!

Morning phoenix, I do recall seeing you occasionally on the international forums. How are you doing?

So, head volley ball coach?

Enlighten me, "short of a couple of subs?" Sorry, it's too early on a Sunday morning, if I have missed something.

Hi guiriman,
It is Sunday morning here, and it is so nice to see some replies. So I thank you. Yes, I apologise for not being more specific, but I didn't quite know where to start.

No, I was there in September for three weeks, and went to Dublin for six days. The laws thankfully have changed and the Italian and Australian governments have struck up a more realist way for us expats to regain our citizenship rather than have to reside there for 12 months(I have known people to have got around that condition very creatively, let's say!). Now, the process starts here through the Italian Consulate. I then had 12 months from such application, to personally go back and complete the process there, during which time paperwork is sent to our birthplace in Italy. So, after much bureaucracy, I have to say the authorities where I was actually born, were fabulous. They bent over backwards to address any obstacle. I am now in a position to apply for my EU passport through the Consulate here.

So, even though I am in a position to vote in any upcoming Italian elections, I really have much to learn, both about the Italian political system, (have to say I am very supportive of our Mr Berulsconi), and the machinations of the EU community in general.

Hi everyone

I recently returned to Australia from Italy after I successfully regained my Italian citizenship, so now have dual Australian and Italian nationalities. Which is wonderful and something that fills me with pride. It is something I wanted to do and needed to do, as a kind of full circle for me, as I left Italy at a young age, and grew up in a wonderful new country.

However, my newly found sense of community with the EU folk, sets up a host of new issues and questions for me dunno

How do I familiarise myself with all things of the EU? What should I read? What are some of the more pressing issues facing the EU right now?

So, while I currently reside in Australia, my intention is to being to spend more time int the EU as a way of discovering that 'other' side of me.

To this end, I would love to hear any of your ideas or suggestions for one so 'green' in all matters EU.

Much appreciated, and look forward to hearing from you.

Oh, and depending on where you are in the EU, there is currently a time difference between 8.5 to 10.5 hrs, between Australia and you, with Aussies being ahead of time.

RE: To save money, we need to combine Holidays!

Rilly,

Are you errr... sleep deprived?

RE: First of the year, no matter what,I'm going to.........

Well, I was doing all the work, so the word 'fun' doesn't quite describe it for me, but everyone else did, it seemed. Which to me, is what really counts. I'm just glad it all worked well. Except it was I who asked for music They were just sitting around chatting and eating

Yes, it would have been really fun you being here. My son and his friends just left. It was nice that he said thank you about 5 times in 30 seconds

But we will have our "Kath and Kim' and "Ab Fab" nights some time soon enough

RE: First of the year, no matter what,I'm going to.........

Hi!

Well, I wasn't, I just popped in, putting my feet up after standing most of the night playing host at my son's birthday.
