Ciao, from Italy
Hello guys I've ended up here for one reason: somebody must know when Pygmy will be realesed in italian...
I don't wanna read it in english, I really liked what the translator did in the past years, and I'm cool with it.
So, I've gotta talk about me... mmm, of course I love those book and I do love playing basketball, you can see the picture, and i really love my city, ROMA.
Others thing that I do is writing, I wanna sign up a contract, but here in Italy everything is like mafia: you have to know somebody that knows someone else, etc,etc.
I've some fan on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Michele-Ponte/41069419039
I've my own site: http://www.micheleponte.com ... I did it by myself... If you doesn't read in italian, is written that you have to clik on the picture, ok? 
PS: when I didn't pass my final exam in high school I have taken a plane and went in Paris and Barcellona not saying to my parents... I slept on the bench and stuff like that...
Roma because I live where they do some training (Trigoria district), but i prefer the basketball team: Virtus Roma.
I know Girona Airport, do you really sleep on those bench? Isn't the nearest airport to Barcelona.
I've slept near the sea, or in the center, close to Placa de Catalunya.
I like Roma just because Giuly used to play for them.
Yip I sleep on the benches in Girona airport. I fly in in the morning, go to the Camp Nou, watch the game, dinner then off to the airport for a few hours snooze before hopping on a flight back home to Ireland.

Oh Yah and welcome
D
Oh man, you're out of your mind
But is so cool!
If I had the money like before... I would almost do the same, but not just to see some matches.
I've been in Ireland, in Dublin. Nice city, I like the centre where I remember the floor was red everywhere... but are you fron the north of Ireland?
Neat, Italy. I haven't been to Rome, but I stayed near Milan for a week with an Italian family.
Vaffanculo. If I remember right.
Welcome. 
Oops, thought you were a girl. Facebook told me the truth though.
I want to be your medicine
I want to feed the sparrow in your heart
You remember right that word...
But to discover if people in italian are men or women, you just have to see the last letter of the name. Like: Michele is man, Michela is women.
Always if there is an A in the last letter of the name is a women, but if a person is called Andrea you don't really know if is a he or she.
You've gotta come in Roma. Milano is cold, and all shit. Girls here are better 
PS: Michele = Michael in English = Michelle in France
Im from the Republic on the west coast accross from Dublin.
Ive been to the North of Italy, I cut my foot on a bottle in Lake Garda and had a nice time in Venice.
... nice esperince in lago di Garda... Have you been in Gardaland there?
This is for everybody: when you come in Italy, you have gotta go in ROMA,maybe it would be the best thing you would ever done.

Ahhh, right. Yeah, the Italian class we were hanging out with that week had 2 Andrea's, both guys.
Well, I don't really care about the girls, or guys there. People were a bit too touchy for my taste. There was this guy that wasn't able to talk to me, or any other girl, without holding my/their hand. Very uncomfortable.
I went to Verona.... Ack, I loved it. <3 It was such a romantic place. [And no, not because of the Romeo & Juliet stuff there] Would love to go there again.

Strangest thing ever... maybe, and you know, if a girl touch you later she would like to kiss you.
If a man touch you means that he wants to play soccer or go out with you to get some girls.
I see that you like romantic, we are. You can't even imagine what I've done with some girl.... I brought one in a city between Roma, and Neaples. There was a sea there, was beautiful. Later i took her to some mountains where they are some waterfalls. We had great things there. And, in the night, we went in Gianicolo, in Rome, where there is terrace where you can see all Roma. It was 4 am....
An other thing: usually american girls come here and get druked in two hours and they wanna have sex in the bathroom of the disco, or the pubs... Maybe your class mate needed someone to translate.
Dude Imke's not American.
God... everything that I sad before was because I did think that you were a MALE, not a female.
I'm really sorry, for everything.
So now I understand why you sad that they were too much touchy those boys...
I don't know if you are shy or not but I know that some guys go too much farder even the first time, without even starting talking...
Again, I'm sorry.
Let me clarify Barca Boy- Irish Dude
IMke is a dutch girl not a dyslexic Mike.

they do that here too, not just overseas. we call them 'whores'.
Well, thanks...
Actually I don't really care if I'm a little or a lot dyslexic in this language. The main thing is that you understand me.
I can even speak polish, but I can't write.
ahahahah, ok, so seems that here are coming only those whores, or the only nice girls that are coming are with their daddy...
Look, here always seem that they make some transformation: they can drink at 18... but we have no problem selling to 15 or 16... Nobodys checking their ID.
Just to clarify I wasnt calling you dyslexic.
Ah nevermind.
Visca Barca
I'm cool Barca Boy, nevermind.
But this year Real Madrid would win the championship (6)
You can't stop Kaka and Ronaldo together...
Welcome, from America.
Step back. Evaluate. Recognize.
Thanks

Seriously bad move.
What about Messi and Iniesta together?
I like iniesta, but the real thing is that Barca is under a lot of money, Manchester too, and now Real will join them...
Barca are doing better financially than the last 20 years. Honestly dude, Im a member of the Club. The President before La Porta, a guy called Gaspart almost sent them bankrupt but now the clubs finances are good again. The difference between Barca and madrill is Iniesta and Messi cost nothing while madrid to get hold of two gems cost them €150 mllion.
Anyways lets not turn this into a football thread, really the only thing to know is
Barca = Good
madrid = crap
Nuff said
What other authors do you like?
Is Cujo a good name for a cat?
Isn't Paula Abdul Hawt for an old chick?
Ok, that's the last thing: in Spain I'm a supporter of Barcelona because I love the city, and I don't care at all about Real Madrid and all the others team, I'm just unhappy that Kaka went there, and you're right: Barcelona payed nothing for them.
Craaaazy... today is my last of 18 days in Italy! im in Rome now, in fumicino. Amazing country, loved every single bit. and by the way...im pretty sure i saw a copy of Pygmy across from my hotel in Rome at some bookstore...La Fetrilli? something like that...it was a red banner with white writing. I'm assuming it was in italian but I cant be sure

I'm really sorry, for everything.
So now I understand why you sad that they were too much touchy those boys...
I don't know if you are shy or not but I know that some guys go too much farder even the first time, without even starting talking...
Again, I'm sorry.
No worries, I'm not offended.

Datsa spicy ameatball!
Yeah, the bookstore is la Feltrinelli, but the book was in english. Here a lot of bookstore has book in english, or in not so much other languages because tourist like you are coming everyday 
In english you can't recognise a person until someone says "he" or "she"...
Good that you aren't offended 
Finally Mondadori told me: "Pygmy", "Pigmeo" in italian, will be released at the end of september.
They answered me on facebook...


Lazio or Roma?
I sleep on a bench in Barcelona all the time.
If you know Girona airport you can find me on the third bench from the top there after every Barca home game.
