"I was only planning on scoring two past Gatti but now he's called me fat I'm going to score four." Four exquisite goals followed

Given that Reform are so keen on repatriation/deportation surely they should go the whole hog and deport everyone who identifies as Anglo-Saxon back to northern Germany, where the Angles and Saxons originally came from...

We only really had the one day in Bologna this time. Modena and Ferrara are really nice too

Back home in Dundee after a fantastic 4 days in Emilia Romagna. Just had a relaxing day in Bologna yesterday. Wonderful city! Also made some new friends from Cosenza, thanks to my Banda Bassotti t-shirt

Another thing to love about Bologna. There are World Cup qualifiers on tonight, including Germany and France, and the hotel bar is showing a Serie C game

Birra e vino...

Always spectacular food in Bologna!

Bologna. Always and forever a red town. ✊️
