Hi Hans,

Toto Cotugno - lasciate mi cantare, con la gitarra in mano etcetera - is quite famous in the town where I originally come from: Maasmechelen in the province/county of Limburg. No wonder, since there is a lot of Belgian Italians living over there. Maasmechelen is a mining city - many immigrants from Calabria, Puglia, Sicilia, even Marche (what you probably think is a good thing - meglio un morto nella casa che un Marchegiano davanti la porta or something like that, hah hah, I know all that crap - one of my ex-girlfriends is a Marche babe.) Last saturday at our Eighties Hits Night in Limburg, I even played 'Gente Di Mare', the Eurovision thing by Tozzi and Raff. Crowd loved it. Now, la Lazio. I used to be a fan of i giallorossi - until Rudi Völler (that fookin ugly German bastard) showed up. When il Gazza arrived, I really was hooked.

> Hi Donny,

Now I understand why you know a lot of Italian and a lot of Italian things...However all Italians are nice, even Marchigiani. I didn't know that Tozzi and Raf were famous there; and I also hate Rudi Voeller but there is another German sportsman I hate much more, Michael Schumacher. So, if you're interested in Italian song lyrics or anything which has to do with Italy, you can e-mail me at: Ciet.Gianpiero@spes.uniud.it

P.S.: My real name is Gianpiero, not Hans.Ciao!

Ciao Donny. I've tried to send a message to your e-mail address, but my PC says that it can't connect to yours. Is your address correct?

The address is: ward.ramaekers@pandora.be
