  1. I'm changing the title because I am bored of VPNs. Nothing will happen until I am back in England but I will use one. I just don't know which one.

    I will definitely go to Bologna next year. No reason not to and plenty of reasons to go there. I will fly to Bologna, possibly with KLM. There's a Lambo museum, as well as the Ducati one there.

    My solicitor has replied to my moaning and I have already made ten grand, apparently. I guess that I will start paying tax this tax year.

    My mind is going blank. Nothing to moan about, Nothing to worry about.

    I was going to try a little flight from the airport in Santander, but if I want to go somewhere and back in a day, then it means an early start. Not really wot I do. I'll try to remember my small rucksack next time and do a stopover - maybe Madrid next time.

    The hotel WiFi is shit, I reckon,, unless it's this sight. Something's going very sllloooowww
     
  2. Teach them how to knock up a decent spag bol while you’re there.
    Absolute heathens.
     
  3. If somebody, anybody, makes the grub for me, I'm a happy soul. Never had bad food in Italy.

    I wonder if the rules on owning property are harsh on the English, as they are in Spain. Research to do,

  5. Lamborghini museum at Sant'Agata Bolognese, and Ferrari museum at Maranello are both fairly close to Bologna.
     
  6. I will try to do Ferrari as well. Rude not to. The rules for owning property in Italy AND England look fine but I vowed not to buy a second property anywhere. I don't want to tie up funds and would rather just roam about with a base in the UK. It's just easier.
    Some may say I've got here the hard way as could of taken a plane instead of taking a day by train and boat, I could of done it in a few hours instead of a day, but I'm happy. I'm not in any rush. I'm only thinking of flying to Italy, because I don't know of any ferry type of ferry service between the UK and Italy. And even if there was, I would still have to get to Bologna.
     
  7. Have you thought about a cruise?
     
  8. Pretty sure it's the case that if your money is invested you only pay tax when you realise the gain, i.e. cash it in. If it's in an interest bearing account then you have to pay money on the interest.
