Ya’ll be talkin about Gypsies. You got any Gypsie stories or experience? I do. Before I say anything, I would say that you got to have some compassion for them. The Romana people have been scattered across Europe and discriminated against for eons, much like the Jews who were scattered in A.D. 70 when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem. In no way shape or form am I comparing Jews and Gypsies, so don’t start on me. They are two different kettles of fish, and they are incomparable if you take the English/British phrase to bear.
Early 90s I lived in Milan for almost 2 years. Gypsies are thieves! They hang out at the train stations like in Rome or Milan. I lived 15 minutes walk from Statione Centrale in Milan so I encountered them daily. They feed of fear, so if you have any they will rob you blind. I’ve seen grown men panic and robbed. Conversely, one day a mother and 5 children charged me with a newspaper. They put the paper up in your breast and as they rush you say “Mangare” or hungry! Meanwhile 5 children come from every angle and pick your pockets! That day I put my boot straight up her crotch! She went livid and threw the newspaper at me. I caught it and pretended to start reading it as I said “Mille Grazie”!! (thanks a million). Then she took off her shoe as if she would attack me with it.. I didn’t mention she had a baby tied down from her neck hanging across her stomach.
Another quick one, an old woman was surrounded by 10 of them with her purse hanging from her arm. I jumped into the circle and beat them off. Saved her from being robbed. Many more stories, but I think you get it. Mind you, if the Gypsies get home with no money or loot, the father beats the kids, he who sits home and does very little.
I wonder if Nick ever got robbed on his Italian tours. I doubt it. Nick goes first cabin! I was passing by Statione Centrale every day for almost two years. I bought my hashish from heroine addicts sometimes and had other friends who were sub culture North Africans who also supplied me. Mind you, this was back in the early 90’s.
Cute puppy Matt! I like him! Very cute.
