Author Topic: September Day in Napoli

It's late September and today it's 24 degrees in Naples when the sun burns off the clouds.

We're snarled in traffic, air pollution building as the drivers honk their horns and the scooters, some with two or three passengers, thread their dangerous path through the chaos.

On the streets, dogs are barking, people are shouting. It's madness here. All the drivers rest their left elbow on the open window of their car while they push the horn with their right hand.

The kid comes from nowhere.

One minute we're looking at the stream of vehicles ahead, the next he's right there at the driver's window of the car in front of us.

So fast you can hardly see it, he thrusts both his hands into the car. There's a fierce but brief struggle. Now he's running, a flash of gold from his hands. He's onto the back of a moped and weaving away at high speed.

Later our taxi pulls level with the victim.

There's an exchange of laughter.

A Rolex? No, it was only a fake.

Sitting in Italian traffic has been the most boring experience of my life. I don't /like/ people washing the car window there but sometimes its hard to stop them, and i saw some stupid comedy golf thing where a windowwasher became his caddy and he was all like "hes just trying to earn a living!" so I gave this nice lady 20p (on average this is far more than I was earning for 30 seconds of work, in fact, hundreds more?! I was on 2.80 an hour in a restaurant) and she starts shouting at me demanding more. Bah.

Try reading it, fuckwit, and you might notice that the victim was a driver in front of us.

Fuck! How could anyone get the impression the mugger was a child after that? Especially as he's on the back of a moped, inferring he was a passenger not a driver.

I can't believe you got mugged by a child, you fucking wuss.

I can take it. I'm bringing most of it on myself, but that's part of the fun.

Roy is vaguely entertaining, but utterly unpolished. He/She/it could probably try harder.

Try harder? Do you mean try and get more abuse or work more at avoiding it?

'Vaguely entertaining' makes me sound like a Timothy Dalton Bond film.

A repertoire of one-liners is not the way to a reputation for quality.

Aye, that works. If you're too busy to do this though, register an insurmountable number of trolls so that you can take out your rage anonymously.

Does being passed out comatose and half naked next to NWOD count as "sleeping with a forumite" even if said forumite was clinging to edge of bed in terror at the time?

Could you shift that way a bit? I'm perch(ed) nimbly on the end of the thread here.

My cockles are glowing that anyone would consider the meagre contribution of my three little trolls as engendering "a reputation for quality".

I'm trying to think of a way to return the compliment...

You could say I have nice eyes!

Louche is being modest above. I wouldn't have described it as terror, but I was certainly wide-eyed.

SeeMO history suggests that Pink is always a good place to start.

I like the fact that your edit was androgenous too.

What I object to is the colour of some of these wheelie bins and where they are left, in some areas outside all week in the front garden.

NWOD, you're a gentleman. Bandy, the hair colour is wrong, but otherwise, you're frighteningly accurate.

Darryn, can you delete all my post-3pm posts in the journey to the next server please?

I tried to capture the essense of your predator dreads. Obviously my MS Paint skill wasn't quite up to the challenge though and the image i held in my mind's eye was distorted somewhere near where my hand meets the mouse. [Frown]

You wouldn't believe it, but in real life Louche is actually quite a lot like Mr Tickle as depicted, in Bandpaint.
