Beach or Beatch?

The heat just rises, and I am hiding away in the shop hugging the air conditioner, and they keep telling me this is just the beginning...... They have to be kidding... it's 35 and humid today!!! Im beginning to long for a Cape winter rain.... naaaaa not yet.
As the days become a blur, and the work no matter what pours in, I seem to be just keeping my head down and powder dry, they are now seeming to meld into one long day with a nap in between. I look forward to Sundays and Mondays off.
The town of Civitanova is very old, but not very large, nothing like the larger cities, like Florence or Rome, and it really is a holiday town thats based in tourism. the beaches are strange here, as they are part free and part pay as you stay, (Private) so you get an umbrella, a chaise and service from a waiter in your own little part of the beach, and you pay a certain amount for half or a full day, and fifty meters on the beach is clear and open to all, then in fifty meters another private beach.... weird. then again they didn't understand that our beaches are open, and no one serves you....

A little this and that

It’s been a while since my last post, but I’m not going to bore you with bullshit post every second day. I have been meaning to get some stuff out, but have refrained, but some stuff just has to come out. Firstly, I have plugged a restaurant called “Orinoco” in Bree street, great value and authentic South American food, I’m afraid to say, no longer, I took Nicci for dinner and two ridiculous portions of poorly cooked food, cost over R480-00, I’m sorry, but that’s just retarded, and had the food been of an epic standard, it would not have pissed me off so much, but this is just fucked up. I complained to the owner, and the best she could do was shrug her shoulders, well that’s blown it for me, they certainly will not see me there again, and I would suggest you stay away too. It is just amazing how the odd little magazine article and a little plug here and there can give people such an attitude, Bob said it best, “Be good to the people you meet on the way up, cause you’re b...

The World Fuck..... sorry I mean CUP

I'm Italian and I'm pissed at Italy going out of the world cup, as Italians we are just build that way when it comes to soccer, but right now I'm pissed! I'm pissed at a Mexican ref that's just an asshole, pissed that Suarez felt it necessary to bite someone, but most of all I'm pissed that a poes like Mario Balotelli gets to play in a world cup, when he has to be without doubt the biggest waste of space on the european continent, I just can't find the right negative superlatives to describe his performance on and off the field. I'm not even going to get into his performance on and off the field. That's the one and only world cup post from me....

What has happened to it? It seems that service is a thing of the past, that as consumers we have no right to decent service, let alone GOOD service. It seems that people who own, or work within a store feel like they are doing you a favor, like dude, you are taking up valuable time they could be spending doing.... what?  For fuck sake, this is your job! Your chosen profession!  I r...
