Milan is worse, and from what the Milanese told me Napoli is the worst in Italy which is quite a claim to make. As I said in a previous post there is a way to drive in all these places, you must have driven on many unrestricted Autobahns which scare the hell out of most non Germans, the fact is they are no more dangerous than any other European Motorway and safer than many, you just have to know what you are doing.

I never drove in Milan or Naples. Always had a taxi driver, which was scary enough. Drove once in Rome, that was scary.

I never found the Autobahn scary.

In this country we give driver's licenses to anyone who wants one. Requiring a test of proficiency is a human rights violation.

That's what they told me about jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. There were still lawn darts!

The kitchen area in our apartment flooded. Water backed up through the sink from above apartment. What a mess.

Hope you can get it cleaned up and sorted without too much trouble Bill.
I had that happen with a storm drain at the 300 year old cottage I used to live in some years back - a real mess, with carpets ruined,and debris, including leaves and mud, everywhere.

It must be catching.
Our office at the airport is in a pole barn and there has been water coming in from an ice dam on the roof since last Thursday. It's like living in a swamp. The carpet soaked and the drywall along the leaking wall starting to turn soft, not to mention the whole place smells like wet dirty socks
The maintainance guy just comes in every morning and sucks up water with a shop vac, turns on a big fan that does nothing because the humidity is already 100% and says that's all he can do until the ice dam melts away.

Have patience the black mould will soon set in

I'm sure it will. We move into another office the middle of next month so not too worried about that but I'm sure they'll have to rip the drywall off that wall and do mold abaitment before another tenant comes in.

Sorry Sancer I drove in Veracruz for three months and for a week in Mexico City. In Saudi Arabia I had to drive to work on the Abqaiq Road. This is a six lane highway (3 in each direction) with no central barrier. At night for "laughs" the locals used to switch their lights off at night, others used to drive on the wrong side of the road and switch their lights off, switching them on at the last minute to scare people. Hey, guess what used to happen about once a month? Yup, two cars with no lights had a head on smash for no apparent reason in the middle of the desert.

Nothing much changed over in Saudi in 40 years then.

Someone on Facebook made a comment about my age in derogatory terms.
I guess this is off topic, really, since I'm not at all annoyed.

Thought it was hilarious that someone should consider "pensioner" as being an insult.

Reason #30,874 as to why I don't have Facebook. I may be old.....ish but I can still get on the floor and play cars with my grandson

Intermittent internet connection. Been dropping out frequently over the last 24 hours, and when it has been connected, it's been quite slow.
Service provider says there's a local antenna problem apparently.

.....but please pay your bill in full. If it continues for a few days see if you can get a discount Terry. I've done it before when trees knocked down the internet cable for a few days. They didn't discount it much but every little bit helps
