DTC ...

No, I'm not the same age as my BF's mum.

I'm not a total cougar !!!
It's been quite warm actually - just as I start working full time for the first time in 20 years. Typical! ;) x

OMG, jno ... that girl's fiance's mum buys his pants !!!

Eeuuwww !! ... that's TOO creepy.

Happily my OH has a Swiss dad, and is Swiss born. So he's not Italian. I hope. After reading that.

You know when you are an Italian man when:


You can bench press 325 pounds, shave twice a day and still cry when your mother yells at you.

You carry your lunch in a produce bag because you can't fit two cappicola sandwiches, 4 oranges, 2 bananas and pizzelles into a regular lunch bag.

Your mechanic, plumber, electrician, accountant, travel agent and lawyer are all your cousins.

You have at least 5 cousins living in the same town or street. All five of those cousins are named after your grandfather or grandmother.

You are on a first name basis with at least 8 banquet hall owners.

You only get one good shave from a disposable razor.

If someone in your family grows beyond 5'9", it is presumed his Mother had an affair.

There are more than 28 people in your bridal party.

You netted more than $50,000 on your first communion.

And you REALLY, REALLY know you're Italian when:

. Your grandfather had a fig tree.

. You eat Sunday dinner at 2:00.

. Christmas Eve . . . only fish.

. Your mom's meatballs are the best.

. You've been hit with a wooden spoon or had a shoe thrown at you.

. Plastic on the furniture is normal.

. You know how to pronounce "manicotti" and "mozzarella."

. You fight over whether it's called "sauce" or "gravy."

. You've called someone a "mamaluke."

. You understand "bada bing"

. And your mother instantly dislikes your girl friend, her prospective daughter-in-law
don't you get fined if you flush the loo after 9pm in Switzerland? Perhaps it's just in the more German parts.

DTC ... did you just make up that last one ???
Question Author
jno ... nobody on the continent understands how a loo should work!

Kazza ... this was the job you were feeling stressed about a couple of months ago, yes? So, it's going well ?

(I don't think you can draw a "thumbs up" sign on a keyboard, but use our imagination).
Of course not JJ,...... lol

sums up Italian men though.

You say your bf is half Swiss though - no hope there - they get very confused when Sunday lunch is said to be at 12.30pm and it turns out to be 2.30.............or when they netted 50000 Swiss Francs or was that Euros or Dollars?

mike..... is that rude ? :)
Question Author
mike ...

I'd give you 10/10 for that.

But then ... what do I know !!
Ouch jno ...if you are Swiss German and get your parts caught in the loo after 9pm.

Whats wrong with the garden, the kitchen sink, the basin or the bidet - or am I being too french in my thinking.
Certainly not! Alma Cogan would never sing rude songs.
it's just the flushing that's the problem, DT, you're supposed to be quiet after dark. May not apply to casinos, though.
No wonder Monica Seles moved out of Switzerland then......
