International Football: My Choices
That might sound like a strange title but while out on my 7 mile run today (~62mins) I was thinking about it. Ok everybody knows that I am half Italian. A tough choice as an interaional footballer, the three lions of England or the three world cups of the Azzurri. Somthing I found out a couple of weeks weeks ago ( I was gonna say makes it a harder choice but that is totally not true as you will soon find out) makes it more complicated. My Dad's Dad was actually born in Algeria, while it was a French colony. Now I'm sure under the "My Dog once met a bloke auntie who'd been to Glasgow, so I want to play for Scotland" rule, that means I could play for Algeria or for France (with the rest of the none Frenchies who won the world cup). How cool would that be, I could be the first English speaking half Italian Algerian to play for France. Not that I would. Might make me eat frogs. Or worse make me talk to Emmanuel Petit. Yuk.
Also in the news, we are going to Palermo for a hol. Woo. While looking for hotels in Terrasini we came accross a hotel which offered an unsual range of facilities
"Villa Trappeto is situated in the residential zone of Trappeto, 50 Km from Palermo and some steps from the center of Trappeto. It is dipped in a garden of 1000 qm rich of tropical vegetation with wide overview on the Gulf of Castellammare. Trappeto villa enjoys one small private beach where it's possible to swimm or explore by snorkeling its rich bottom of the mediterranean sea. The rocky coastline rich of fossils, invites to explore."
Oh laughing at foreigners it's always so much fun. We are not sure how far qm is but we think it's either very large or very very very very small. Think oceans or pin heads people. Also, pretty sure that square meters denotes area, silly long thin gardens. Chris you're in the travel industry, is snorkelling rich bottoms popular?
On the sponsorship front things are going well and Phil and I have broken the £150 barrier, many thanks to Phil's mum who went out annoying people for us and got £37. Yey Cynthia! A very glamerous name says Kay.
Take care of yourselves, and each other. Kay said that. Hang on. Kay says Jerry Springer said that.
I say BOG OFF

Snorkelling rich bottoms is indeed a top sport Ed. You should try it.
I must be honest and we we have a regular round of laughs at all our agents who bother to try to speak our language. My own personal favourite was an apology from one of our Mexican agents - a very sad event, but I defy anyone not to have a chortle ....
"Regrets I am having over my late reply but my brother the elder has just expired" We love Agustin, as every one of his e-mails are along these lines. Another "I am being sorry for no reply but I ripped my groin"
What's your blog then Kay?
