Few days ago I had changed the subtitle of my [en:weblog] Consider yourself Perfectible makes you Perfect! It’s not about me… or, better, it’s not ONLY about me. It’s about EVERYTHING. About Countries too. What it means? Follow me… Today I have listened (and readed) this podcast entitled “PM (Prime Minister) and Stephen Fry reflect on modern Britishness”: it’s the newest podcast from the website of 10, Downing Street.

Happy Birthday - 2007

In risposta al mio amico Nemo, questo post è un auto-augurio di Buon Compleanno. Mentre io sono in procinto di levarmi dai Coglioni partire per un nuovo Lavoro in terra Britannika, lui ha iniziato da qualche settimana gli studi per la Tesi.

Why I love UK? Intelligence about Transports

In England, in Bristol and Leeds Town, an experiment is underway: normal Cars can take the bus and taxi fast lane if it carry one or more passengers. It’s called “car pooling” and it aims to grow-up the ratio people/car. Probably this experiment will fail because a great number of families are “nuclear”, with one, two or, at maximum, three components. But, at this real moment, the Halls of the two cities speak about a sensible trip-time reduction. ...

Why I love UK?

It’s not easy to explain… and I can’t synthetize my motivations in a couple of words. Hence, I think it’s a good idea to list, in a new series of post, the single facts one bye one. I’m from Italy and the needs of service and a bit of civilization is the main matter for me. I’m trying to change my life. I’m trying to come to live in the oldest “Monarchy” in the world.
