Hi Sime,
I have just jumped onto your website and see that it’s been professionalised? How did this happen, did a child see the first version and take pity on you and that you tube video. You must be generation Y afterall, I am barely connected to the right software to even watch it! you’re amazing

Pizzas and phone lines
When is too much pizza not enough? Never, of course. But the trick is to get the pizza first. And to do that you need cash, and for that you need to work, which requires an internet connection, which means getting the phone on, which when you live in Italy is entirely dependent on the goodwill of Telecom Italia, the world's most fearsome and inept state bureaucracy. How hard can it be to get the phone connected? Find out in this exciting tale of mystery, intrigue, passion, blackmail, coffee and pizza*. * Not necessarily in that order
