Oh for criminy's sake lighten up will ya :-). If you read what I wrote again you will see that I really like Italians and especially their ability to not take life so damn seriously that they don't know how to stop and smell the roses now and again. Trust me some of the hardest working people I know are Italians and they also happen to be some of my best friends.

I think you are right, Magyar. Italy used to be the land of the "dolce far niente". Now it has become a land of fanatical workaholics. I don't think this is progress.
