The Stupid Olympics

I’m baffled on how stupid the British officials and politicians are. The entire show, is as bad in practice as it looks good on TV. Business starving for customers in Central London No one has tickets: either because are too expensive or because buying tickets was a Olympic sport on it’s own Empty stations and entire city areas because of TfL end-of-the-world-is-night emails Trains, somehow, still managed to get fucked up and cancelled Was all this on purpose?

Culinary Nationalism

Only a country like Italy could do something stupid like this. In english: The Tuscan city of Lucca has imposed a ban upon foreign eateries in its historic centre, in a move described by critics as racism. The city council voted to deny new licences to bars or restaurants with a ‘non-Italian style of cooking’ within the boundary of the Renaissance walls circling the city centre. Tuscany’s centre-left regional government warned against discriminatory measures “introducing hidden forms of ‘gastronomic or culinary’ racism.” “The defence of quality is one thing, discrimination is another,” said Paolo Cocchi, the regional councillor for commerce. Lucca’s town hall defended the new rules, saying they were meant to safeguard the city’s cultural identity and that they were also applicable to sex shops, fast food restaurants and take-away pizza parlours. “The ban targets McDonald’s as much as kebab restaurants,” said a spokesman. The spokesman also said that the four kebab shops already in the city centre would be allowed to continue operating as normal, while, “as an invitation, not an order", all foreign restaurants in the city will be encouraged to include at least one typical dish from the region.

Ferrero Rocher vs Pocket Coffee

Sono sempre stati tra i miei “candies/sweets/cakes” preferiti (quando si tratta di cose piccole e veloci) (ovviamente, incomparabili ad un bel Baba’ ;) ). Il loro concentrato di cioccolata abbinata a Caffe’ o Nocciola e’ un “Marriage Made in Heaven”. Ma non sono qui per parlarvi di questo. Che sono un chiattone lo sapete gia’. Sono qui per parlare dell’ennesimo parto della mia mente malata circa la “Comparazione di Uomo e Donna”. O meglio, di quello che penso debbano essere Uomo e Donna per far si che le cose funzionino (si vede che ho il cuore nello zucchero? :-P ). ...
