The sort of person who gets worked up over grammer seriously needs to take a reality check, who cares if he said your, you're or whatever.

And I am married to a lady of italian descent and I don't think she would be offended by Italian policemen in a lambourghini or anything else mentioned here so that person also needs to stop being so politically correct!

You people have ruined the world with your PC garbage.

I used to know a teacher at school who if you asked "have you got the time" would reply "yes" and all his so called humour resulted in was everybody thinking he was an idiot!

By the way, the smallest book in the world is The Book of Italian War Heros!

I think it *should* be a matter of personal preference. Not like, e.g. in my old High School, where people who were caught out with a single hair anywhere but on their heads were instantly relegated to the bottom rung of the social ladder :?.

There are supposedly special German sex preferences?! I hadn't heard that one yet. Tell me more.

Ah well the people never seem to have any valid reasons, I think they get us and the dutch mixed up...
So I'm obsessed with Pour some sugar on me by Def Leppard, doesn't mean I'm perverted :P I'll let you make your mind up on that one...

And for the Japanese the reason would be those weird vending machines, hentai etc

However, some of the Scottish regiments in the army do still wear kilts for ceremonial events.

Yes they do, I never said they didn't, The days when people went into battle wearing kilts are long gone.

I'm just saying that it is a matter of perspective: kilted soldiers are likely to call up images of C18th and C19th conflicts for most people, whereas I am pointing out that the kilt lived on in active service in conflict much more recently than that.

Italian News Flash

Alessandro Pettachi has just won his 8th stage of this years Giro d'Italia, setting a postwar record for wins in a single year by taking the sprint for stage 15. His speed for the last 100 meters was about 42 mph, not to shabby when you consider thats after almost 6 hours of racing. Tomorrow the race heads into the Dolomites and the last few stages will belong to the climbers.

For all you Americans out there, the Giro is the first of the three European grand tours (the Tour de France is the second and the Veulta de Espana is the third) and the reason Italians will never consider Lance Armstrong a true great cyclist. Lance refuses to race the Giro and only concentrates on the Tour. All the great cyclists raced both in the same year and the true legends achieved success in both.

I love Italy, the Italians are probably the most fanatical cycling fans on the planet. Where else on the planet can you have a single day event that draws over 66 thousand participants (not spectators) to a single ride?

As an American of Italian descent I find your demand offensive. If America can be lambasted let the Italians and all others take their national identity hits as well.

If I remember correctly, you get a pair of hand made shoes if you buy a Pagani Zonda, they're made to measure so you'll have at least one pair of perfectly fitting, comfy shoes ;)
Although if you can afford that car all your shoes are probably hand made...
