Just in case anyone else is planning cheap flights to Italy or Sardinia, I know in this clip I have said Sardinia is the island at the bottom of Italy. I know that it's probably nearer the middle and off to the west. I'm not used to the movie business, I panicked OK! Nevertheless send me in a challenge for Calgiari.

Love this idea mate...if you want some Italian lessons before you go, pop up to Perth Academy and you can join in for a class! The city is pronounced Call-yari... gli is pronounced like the lli in million...and remember not to pronounce the G in tagliatelli either! tall-ya-telly!
ReplyDeleteBruce here. I have been trying to learn a bit of Italian using Michelle Thomas CDs on my IPOD, but would be grateful for any help. When can I come in?
ReplyDeleteHi Bruce
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of this challenge you've set yourself
Just to make it A BIT HARDER.
I challenge you to take the stuff on top of the cupboard behind you in the video clip with you on you 1st trip.
I'm sure a tartan 'SHOLLEY' would hold it all.
Good luck
David
I think it's a great thing you're doing, very funny.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you take the haggis theme to Italy? Try and get some Haggis pizza? I once tried to make haggis ravioli trying to show off my cooking skills - ended up looking like a white pudding supper with tomato sauce splatted on it.
Given the cost restrictions I have to go with hand luggage only. I may have misunderstood, but I think Ryanair charge extra if you actually have to check something in. I would have to take it on the plane. Can you imagine going through the metal detector with: two empty cardboard boxes for computer equipement, 20 metres of coaxial cabling, a telephone handset, four wall pictures and a filter coffee machine. On top of all that you can see an A1 sized piece of paper with ideas for my Robert the Bruce show discussing murder in an church and committing treason against the lawful authority of te day. Add all that to slightly arab looking features and I'm imagining three days of anal probing with a toothpick. Given the choice between the rubber glove and a more organised lifestyle, I'd rather tidy up my office.
ReplyDeletelittle tip for you bruce, get an electron card from your bank and you can avoid any additional credit/debit payment charges! we, a family of four, have just come back from calgiari for the total sum of £40 inc all taxes etc, with hand luggage only! good luck out there, its a nice place but quite expensive. haggis ice cream anyone???!!
ReplyDeleteGet the Saints in here somewhere:

Oh and
Speak to a naked man
problem with a Visa Electron card is not everyone accepts it.
ReplyDeletesome challenges:
ReplyDelete1. the pointless -but - always - gets - a - laugh: ask directions for "Scratchin'Ma-Fanny"
2. there is a big amphitheatre in Cagliari. I think you can get in for a couple of euros (well within budget). Tell a bum joke and see if it is true about the sound affects of an amphitheatre
3. convince a stylish sardinian local to wear a wee wullie orange wig and tammie. cost: about 2 quid from the shop across from stirling station.
4. checks this out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Emmanuel_IV_of_Sardinia
apparently the Jacobites called him King Charles IV of England & Scotland. Your challenge is to claim you are a descendent of the Stuarts and therefore have come to claim the Sardian throne. This topic might not be covered in the Berlitz language guide - but anything to to do with furniture shopping will help.
