Oh, cool, the newspaper this morning had an article on an emergency call we took care of the other night with the ambulance. The scene FOR US was like this: we get there, the cops hand out to us a man who was stark-naked and covered in bruises. We check the bruises, see that nothing is serious, then check for holes in his arms to see if he's a drug-addict, see none, he doesn't speak to us, just asks for water... We assume he's a lunatic ("paziente psichiatrico", in ambulance terms) and take him tot he hospital, end of the story for us. The headline in the newspaper tells us the truth: "Runs around naked, gets on a roof and imitates a bird's flight". Turns out the 35-yo man was high on cocaine (we couldn't check that on the ambulance, it leaves no signs going in the nose!) and before beign stopped by the police, he had burnt his clothes in the middle of the street, then started buzzing all doorbells he could find and finally got on a roof and tried to fly. Mmm, this makes it a funnier story than i thought i'd be, when i first saw this naked man in the middle of the street.
Here is the article, in case you wanna practice your Italian:
(of course, NO mention of the ambulance is made in the article, they always forget about us!)
*sigh*, i've just eaten the last packet of crisps that i had brought back from my short trip to London two weeks ago. They just don't make them as good over here, basically we're still just stuck to the "salt" variety of crisps, whereas in the uk you get this wonderful brand called WALKERS and their various tiny packets containing "salt and vinegar" "cheese and onion" "barbecue flavour" and a few more. I just ate the blue packet. Blue is for "cheese and onion". Green "salt and vinegar". Red "ready salted". Pink "prawn cockatil" (bleah!). I'd like to know why the other excellent brand, TESCO, has the colours mixed up, like blue is for salt and vinegar! Can't they imagine the big trouble that would happen, if by night someone was hungry for a packet of crisps and opened the wrong packet, judging just on the colour of it? LOL.
Here is a pic of me eating a bulk of crisps during one of my summer uk holidays (it was 99, and I hate 66 packets of crisps in 26 days. not so healthy, i know, but very yummy!)
well, have a nice easter weekend. is any of you going away for a short trip?
