Howard I personally hold you responsible for asking for more detail, I'm going to save it for bedtime reading!

I'm not keen on anything Italian, Howard.
And I haven't got any contact with anything Italian either.

No pasta in your cupboard then Alex?

I believe that pasta originated in China and was brought to Europe by Marco Polo in the 13th century, not a lot of people know that.

Are we now going to have an in depth discussion about pasta versus noodles, it might be more interesting than some of the recent long winded posts on the forum.

I've been wrongly presented on here as not being English but Italian.
I do not appreciate that in any way at all.
I have nothing to do with Italy or anything Italian.
This was about the English Church and the Fair Lady. BRITANNIA.
So if now someone is sounding off with "long winded posts", then I suppose it is time to say good-bye again.
I don't know why this had to be transformed in to "admiring all things Italian". and "long winded posts".
I guess I am just not appreciated on here on account of being who I am.

Aren't votive offerings more a Roman Catholic pastime?

I made a votive offering on polling day. There were no Pirates on my voting form (Italian or otherwise). Why not ? I hear you ask, or not. I had to write my own pirates on the two forms to be able to vote for them, I am appalled. As a footnote, some might say that the pirates got elected anyway.

Howard, if YOU are keen on all things Italian, why don't you keep it for YOU instead of trying to ram it onto me?
I don't appreciate being falsely presented in public in the exact opposite manner of my real character.
Contrary to you, I don't ride two different horses at the same time.
Instead of being about ME, this statement of yours should be about YOU.
You should have written: "I, Howard Mcsweeney, am keen on all things Italian".
Please keep me out of it!

I must be the only Italian that cannot stomach pasta in any of its various shapes.

Alexander seems very anti-Italian. Definite case of over compensation in my view!

I don't know what you're talking about, Reginald.
I don't speak Italian, have never been to Italy and don't intend ever going there.
I don't know any Italians either.
I believe in the English Church and am not currently interested in anything else.
