Re: Noob
Hi Noob,
We have just relocated back to London ( for ever or not, just giving it a go again)......, it's brill!!!!! Weather sunny and warm ( at mo), parks to die for, can listen in on conversations and understand them, food ( chocs, brown sauce, and all the other stuff)....My son and his new babies are a short car journey, the list is endless...Italy, do I miss it? Well only been here for 2 weeks but, I haven't given it a moments thought... and the ex-pat friends I made there? Who? ;) |
Re: Noob
Whereabouts in London are you Gio? I go back every 3 or 4 months just for a quick visit. I go to a friends near Greenwich,as I used to live near there and still have my Dentist/banks etc there.
Good luck with the move and I hope you will be happy. |
Re: Noob
I've got a hate about GB, at about 4 in the afternoon the town is empty and the day seems over.At that time over here I'm just thinking about going out.I must add that I live near to the centre of Naples(not the central station but near the sea)I do have plenty of moans about living here but things are a bit better now with online tv,British food which is easy to order and some things are even in the shops(PGtips etc.)But my best friends are British. I have lots of Italian ones but it's just not quite the same.

Re: Noob
That's so true about Italian friends not being the same. I have many and we get on great, but..
I think it's the lack of shared history, you know, what it was like being a teen, what Monty Python was all about (showing my age here) and laughing at the same sort of stuff, like Julian Clary and The Office. I find that hard, as British Comedy is so brilliantly wicked, and I often feel that Italy is still in the Keystone Cops/Custard Pie league in that sense. |

Re: Noob
I tell you what I like watching currently, in no particular order -
Family Guy How I Met Your Mother The Inbetweeners Facejacker The Flight of the Conchords and of course Friends |
Re: Noob
I HATE Family Guy!!!:sneaky: Sexist, stoopid nonsense - OH and son think it's wonderful and American Dad....:p
You're seriously still watching friends??! Wow! I've seen the whole series on a torrent, was tempted but 26 GB was way too much!! Current faves are: CSI, Bones, Desperate Housewives, Dr Who, Grey's Anatomy and any films I can grab off the net...Latest epic John Woo being a favourite..:D |
Re: Noob
What, no 'Without a Trace'?
Jack Malone mmmmmm :) |
Re: Noob
Not sure I've ever seen it....Most of my "tv" is on torrents now, so I'm going for specific ones. My son loves Chuck and I like what I've seen of Glee. I should probably start watching Sky again, currently it's only my daughter who watches for the kids progs - expensive just for that!!:blink:
|
Re: Noob
Without a Trace is good, as is Cold Case.
|
Re: Noob
Cold Case I liked and Medium was okay too when I watched. They are kind of like Bones, but Bones makes me laugh out loud it is soooo stoopid!! Great fun!! I watch CSI for the serious stuff, unless they are having a one of their freaky moments too! Now Laurence Fishburne is in it they did a Matrix type one a few months ago!! So funny!!:D:
