I need someone who speaks fluent Italian with long distance capabilities to make a couple of phone calls for me. I sent emails to both of the companies with no reply and I want to see if they still have this old set of Rizoma clip ons in stock. Here are the links...

ho bisogno di fare pratica con il mio italiano

There are a few board members from Italy or who used to live in Italy, including Batista, glbrto, Desmotrip, giuliodark, antos, and alex1000.

Here are a few curse words I learned

(not sure about the spellings ofcourse)

Cretino
Filio dicane
stronso
chidente

You can start with that.   ;D

Good luck.

No habla inglés

Noi non potemo avere perfetta vita senza amici

My Italian is strictly limited to food related items...   [cheeky]

Just pick up the phone and say:

"Ciao!"

Then say "Bene" to whatever they say.

If something sounds like a question say "Prego"

And then end the call with" "Ciao!"

That should about do it.

Thanks for the info somegirl. I'll try PM'ing them now.   [thumbsup]

Forgetting the obvious here, P.  [cheeky]

Grifo.

grow a moustache and it will all become clear

Great episode, although I already tried that!

You can always use an online translator.  My cousin lives in Italy.  I could forward him an email and maybe he can call or email to find out.  I know he's in the middle of relocating for school, but It won't hurt to ask.

You beat me to it!

He was born in Indiana, but moved to Italy when he was very very newborn or something.

He was in the Italian Military, some special hard to get into parachute group.


I think he can speak a little italian.........

Was not an exhaustive list, I pulled it by searching the Intro forum for "Italy".

I see that someone never posted an introduction. :P

@ COP
That would be awesome. I feel like I'm close to running out of options so anything at this point will help. You can copy/paste the OP if that's easier!! Thanks again.

I did... You'd have to go back to roughly September 06 on TOB to find it though.  ;D [cheeky]

no problem, I will flip him an email and hopefully he'll get it and reply back to me with some sort of positive answer for you.

Hope so, thanks. I had someone get in touch with Rizoma and they said they didn't have any left and that they have been discontinued for at least a year and a half   :-\

Oh, I've long since been banned on TOB. ;D

I've just sent two e-mails to these sellers...

Thanks Batista!!
