My apologies to all if I have created any problems but I must point out that the reason I originally posted on the "English Section" was because I knew than the articles would be written in English :roll: The only reason I replied in my bad Italian was simply because I felt it courteous to...

Possiamo avere un po di Inglese per favore?

Molte grazie!

Auguri a tutti

Hi Aldo Before I forget, have you looked at : http://www.milhist.net/betfor/gallery05/ This is the BETFOR site and has many lovely old postcards of Trieste. Looking back at your reply to my posting it appears that I may have confused you :oops: Don't worry about it, I seem to go through life confusi...

Ciao Mac

Trust this finds you well

It is a standing family joke that whenever we all get together I am introduced by my sistera as being their "baby brother"

At my present age of 84 this does get a few raised eyebrows

Grazie a tutti !

Just had to show you another sister, Gertie, who is now 92 and yes....we are all very grateful at still being together

Hi Nania

Thank you for your comment and good wishes which I will pass on to my sister.

You might be interested to know that I have two other sisters also in their nineties, one of them, Esther, pictured here with Polly (who is seated on the right) is 94 !

Best wishes

Peter, e tutti :lol: I know that there have been times on this site when some of the English speaking Italians and all of the English based members have winced at my terrible attempts at colloquial Italian. In my defence and to be totally honest, I havn't bought an English/Italian dictionary for yea...

Thanks for that Peter. I was interested when the thread started discussing "thee, thy & thou", not words I often use these days, but words of which Shakespeare has made us all aware. I went to my old friend Wikipedia to see what he had to say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:@pple/Li...

More on antechamber:

An antechamber is a smaller room or vestibule serving as an entryway into a larger one. The word is formed of the Latin ante camera, meaning "room before."

The word is "ante-room" but be aware that this is slightly old fashioned as few houses these days can afford the luxury of such a space.

Ciao

Ron

Dear Adler Sorry to say that all this took place after my time in Trieste (October '45 to January '47) :'-( My Australian friend kindly pointed me to: https://www.atrieste.eu/Forum3/viewtopic.php?t=882&highlight=american+football+gridiron where I was able to see that this subject has been discus...

Ciao everybody :lol: Just browsing the internet and thought I'd look in to see if anyone still posts in the English Section. Nothing new, I see, and I couldn't wondering whether or not it was time for your most respected and excellent site moderators to allow Maria back on the scene to post one of h...
