    I'm intrigued by this girlfiend being an ex Italian.
    What nationality is she now ?

    Interesting...........just one question though.
    What exactly did your 'girlfiend' do to become an ex-Italian?

    .........was she jumped or did she push?






    EDIT: doh.......just seen the last two posts!!

    -10 points for you Wazoo.
    You’re not even paying attention.
    If you’ve all finished………..

    Very disappointing all round I must say chaps. British forum as well. May as well be chatting to the Yanks. At least they can follow the plot even if they don’t get the humour

    So, you prefer the bricks you referred to, to a little bit of friendly (if badly timed) humour then do you?
    Fine.

    Default -10+ (-5) for bad sportsmanship

    No need to get all pissy just because you woke up with your foot in your mouth.
    Hurl away, I bet you cant hit a barn door with a brick at ten paces anyway

    You don't renounce Italian citizenship when marrying a Brit, that situation changed just after my mother (Italian) married my father (British) around 60 years ago.

    I'm not getting 'pissy' and I don't chuck bricks - if you expect to have bricks chucked at you on a forum, you're on the wrong one.

    Default What! no bricks!

    Rats, nobody told me we were playing under QI rules. Guess I’m a few points adrift now


    Wazoo
    Oh, no brick hurling here? Might as well put this pile back outside then.
    Relax, it’s just a bit of fun
    I believe the correct description is naturalization or something similar. In fact the girlfiend was one of the Queens subjects (can’t say British citizen because I don’t believe we have such a status here) when I met her.
