Perhaps you not having time to go was part of his thinking!!!

[GuglielmoMarlia]

You are right gents and I apologize for the poor warning. Frankly we were hoping at the best to stir some interest for this new competition in order to have some entrants when we organize next edition.
With definitely more warning.

You could see if the new Pope wanted to come and open the event. He'll probably need the publicity!!

We already live in a country like that, as I reckon do most of us.

[Vespasian28]

That's the point. Our comedians actually think they are politicians, at least our Italian friend knows he is a comedian.
