I have the internet set up in France now.
Here is a pic of me, taken in Italy (I thought Finbar would like to see a pic of his spiritual home).

Hope it uploads ok this time.

Makeo I'm in France, are you in the UK now?

Actually, we're looking to rent a place in France for a year or so. I speak more French than Italian, the bureaucracy's easier to cope with, and it's only a hop and skip away from Heaven anyway. All being well, might buy a place there eventually.

Whereabouts in France? Somewhere on the east presumably to be near Italy?

And that doesn't say much for the Italien bureaucracy!

If a diplomat retires to Italy they keep their diplo immunities for life. No need for visas or anything like that.

Such a civilised country, I won't hear a word against their bureaucracy.

South East or Centre South.

It baffles even the Italians, so what hope would a foreigner have? A diplomat aside.

I've never been to Italy, aside from being slumped on a bar stool at Rome airport waiting for a connecting flight.

Seen quite a lot of France though - my favorite European country.

Well, I've been slumped in the Qantas Lounge at Rome airport a few times.

I just remembered a classic piece of Italian bureaucracy. A few years ago, the Italian parliament introduced legislation for an amnesty for tax avoiders. Anyone who had avoided tax could declare their situation without penalty. People did. The parliament subsequently scrapped the legislation. But scrapping the legislation doesn't mean that it's rendered null and void from that point on. It means, literally, that the legislation never existed. The government promptly prosecuted all those who had volunteered their tax avoidance.

Sounds like a classic ploy. A tax-based Trojan horse for modern times.

If it were anyone other than my beloved Italians, I'd agree.

yes and the prosecution means nothing in Italy. The cases never conclude.
