Cooper Roy Group: Members Posts: 255 Joined: April 2010 Posted: July 19 2010, 19:51 Quote (nightspore @ July 19 2010, 08:24) Or perhaps "Cooper Roy" just sounds American. I can imagine a bunch of Freshmen saying "Good ol Cooper Roy - you can always find him having a soda with his buddies after the baseball game!"   If you baying wolves require the truth...I screwed-up my registration on this ere' soite.My name is,my name is- Donald Roy Cooper. That selfsame DRC who moments ago selected a one-month free trial of Amazon UK Prime to have a certain wordsmiths latest output delivered pronto to my (near-Dr.Priestleys-house) abode. So,Mr.DK.I trust you are winging your way on the Quaintarse red-eye shuttle from Darn'Under so as to arrive simul-simult-at the same time ,as aforementioned tome in order that you may read to me those elegant sentence structures in person.     Don't forget the duty-free ' Soda '   CR -------------- "I have nothing but sympathy for how people behave-and nothing but laughter to console them with.Laughter is my religion.In the manner of most religions, I admit my laughter is pretty desperate."                                                                    John Irving Back to top

No, Italians generally don't understand English. According to the latest statistics, only 11% of Italians understand English on a very basic, scholastic level - the "Hello, how are you? - Fine, thanks" kinds of things. Regarding the fishing, yes, the fishing here is very good. There are lots and lots of seafood-based restaurants, and all of them are always pretty well attended (if not crowded) at all times of the year. Unfortunately I don't like fish... Vicki, on the other hand, must be very pleased to live in such an area! Back to top

I agree, Ugo... but isn't 11% a bit too small a percentage? I think more italians do handle the english language... even 12% !!

Nothing spectacular. 3-4 hours driving distance to Stockholm or Göteborg. Notice a couple of Italians here! My wife has family in Rome (via Tiburtina) and we will most likely inherit an apartment in Ischia di Castro, near lake Bolsena in the not too distant future. I wouldn't mind going Italian permanently some day. Noone wants swedish winters. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Cooper Roy Group: Members Posts: 255 Joined: April 2010 Posted: July 25 2010, 05:18 ...What do you think of the story "Chat Room"? I am sorry, nightspore. What precisely is this Internet's thing? Is it something to do with trawlermens livelihoods becoming hopelessly entangled? You may hope people will catch-on to your notion, but I think you may be codding them about all that.

It's where I "met" Dream Theater a few years back. Amazingly some artists are available in stores, like Blackfield and Porcupine Tree (Steven Wilson's brainchildren)--and others you can order directly from the artists, or (my bad) through iTunes. I'm currently in love with Pain of Salvation, Gazapacho, Nigthwish and Lava Engine, all Scandinavian prog or metal prog bands. But especially Pain. Cheese pizza dipped in ranch, eh? You'd be right at home in our house. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris." Back to top
