Wet Dreams At Boot Camp

Meglio il merluzzo o la lavabiancheria?

Who and 'you've lost or rendered unusable by the phone in more ways' absurd?
I know people that have lost in the lake, lost in the toilet bowl (!), And even, listen, listen, do not believe it but there you are not either ', he had liquefied coals in the sauna! Do not ask why it is felt the need 'to carry the phone in the sauna ...

too do the ranks of these people, 'cause one day I could not find the phone, the glorious Nokia 6600, one of the first series 60. I found in the pockets of his trousers. And what's' strange you say? The pants had just been removed from the washing machine ...

Ma il premio della perdita e ritrovamento piu' strambi va ad un tizio inglese, che come riportato dal Corriere , ha perso in mare il telefonino (Nokia, ci tiene a precisare il Corriere). Ormai rassegnato, non ha creduto alle sue orecchie quando la sua ragazza gli ha riferito che un tale l'aveva chiamata con lo stesso numero di telefono della SIM che stava nel telefonino disperso.

Ebbene, il telefonino era stato ingoiato da un merluzzo (voraci dalle parti di Sua Maesta'), a sua volta pescato da un pescatore e aperto. Collodi in confronto ha avuto poca fantasia...

Come e' finita la storia? Il telefonino e' stato rimesso a nuovo e ora funziona di nuovo (potrebbe essere l'idea per una nuova Campagna marketing della Nokia). Il mio telefonino invece non l'ho mai piu 'Salvato. Fri fortuna pochi giorno dopo che ho iniziato a lavorare in Nokia ... :)

Ragusa, maailman ihanin kaupunki

I have written in English and Italian, but I never in Finnish. is already high time to write Ragusasta Finnish.

Ragusa, Sicily, located on the southeast side, is my hometown, and of course my view, the world's most wonderful city.

Why is so special Ragusa (Ragusa e 'speciale)? I am part of to say. I tried to explain the reason for my previous Italian webblogs , Which is undoubtedly my favorite. "Blog Post" was so good that the Sicilian local newspaper, was seized and released it Journal !

Why Ragusa is special?
Ragusa is special because every stone reminds me of the incident in the past. When I lived there yet, I do not understand how beautiful Ragusa can be. Ragusa gem is the old city, or Ragusa Ibla. Ragusa Ibla is a magical city, if you walk in small alleys you feel in another world. Ragusa Ibla night lights is something quite fantastic.

Some photos Ragusasta:

että olen vielä Ragusassa.
