Italian Style Bike Security

[colly]

Correct. There are a lot of Doberman pinchers in Italy, as threeleadsmcginty omitted to tell us.

That's good, mine would drag it down the road in search of a bonio.

Does your dog like U2 then?

I have been told by an Italian that nobody dares steal anything in Italy as the Mafia look after everything. Nothing is ever vandalized either.

I guess you've never been to Italy then.

Everyone likes The Joshua Tree, even dogs.

We did one time - at Loughborough I think. Argonon are going to run a pilot series "Cash in the Rucksack" soon - on the back of Stu's effort.

Everything looks big in Loughborough.

Of course he likes me, I'm his owner.........oh I see, thought it was text speak for a minute. I doubt it, he's a down to earth kind of dog, no pretensions to be anything other than a dog, so no, not much in common I reckon.

Loughborough 2010. Stu is a bit of a rotweiler when it comes to 'rucksack love'. I think @ianrauk and I guesstimated that there must have been a meteorite, club hammer, a litter of guard puppies and a small reservoir in the side pockets. Essential stuff for the journeyman voyager.

Just chain the bike to the backpack and no one will ever move it :P

He/she is taking the piss out of you - playing to stereotypes - have you been to Italy?

have you seen the amount of graffiti?

And I know a place where cars set on fire in the streets of a night is positively routine - and you'd never guess from seeing it during the day.

I have an Italian friend from Florence and she told me the immigrants will steal the shirt off your back if they think they can get away with it.

See google news for many more examples of crass Italian racism.

Do Doberman's like you? SIT!!

One street away from the Duomo in any direction and you will see that is clearly not the case. Probably the most grafitti'd city I have ever seen (apart from some areas of Naples.)
