We've reached the 15th stage of our 27 stop tour, and we're in Italy. I've been lucky enough to visit many times over the last 30+ years and have never had a bad experience, not even when I got attacked by a Mother Superior after I asked one of her nuns if she wanted to sit on my shoulders to get a better view of the Pope. It was a fair cop.
As well as being one of my favourite countries, Italy may be the home of my great lost love. Five or six years ago I was staying in a cheap hotel in the Trastevere district of Rome and indulged in a bit of light flirtation with the delightful receptionist. When time came to check out, she suddenly clasped me by the hand, looked me deep in the eyes and said "You..." - dramatic pause, even deeper look - "are a beautiful chicken!".
If it had been a film I would have got half way to the airport before realising I was making a mistake, jumped off the bus, flagged down a Piaggio Ape and headed back to the hotel to propose to her. Now, if lockdown has taught me anything it is that I must seize the day, so that's exactly what I'm going to do when we're allowed out again. Let's hope I'm not too late. And let's hope I can remember the name of the hotel.
Enough of me, on with the music. We start with some sexo and end with some deatho. All human life is here.

It never ever occurred to me to follow Renatos' example whenever I taught anything concering triangles. And I had the outfit too!
ReplyDeletePhotographic evidence please!
DeleteAnd Adriano reminds me of when I used to Angle Aerobics...
ReplyDeleteHaha that's a great story. Must say it was worth suffering (is that fair?) the first 4 to get to R.I.P. What a fantastic track
