[Chris Wilson]

Timeo Britanos* et chisel** ferentes.


*although he us actually a Thracian, strictly speaking, according to what is posted above

**Don't know the Latin for chisel, and not sure "strigil" works

Boris would.... Bung him £100K and he'll probably come on here and sort the translation out for you

Boris would.... Bung him £100K and he'll probably come on here and sort the translation out for you Tuk-Tuk man could do a Hindi translation. Perhaps. Probably even more costly

From the comedy Latin I have heard from Mr Johnson, I doubt he could do any better- that's mostly a direct lift from the Aeneid, as you probably know.

Reminded me of Herculaneum, having a nice stroll round and then around one corner somebody had dumped a freshly filled nappy.

Nice.

Also the only place I've ever seen a baby pigeon. Never seen one before or since. My dad always thought they were a myth. A bit like the Minotaur but less Greek and pointy.

Deserves a big fine definitely.

How would we feel if an Italian came over carving names on Stonehenge?

 

[sigma]

Hes British and lives in Bristol. its not a very traditional british name? Probably easy to find? Same reason Mine isn't a traditional Swedish name?

Cant be too many Ivans out of the country in the past 3 days....l

Ive said it before but yet again, Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

It's GD, every other thread is about immigration, what do you expect?

 

[darael]

If he gets jail time, he'll being calling his rear end Colosseum.

I'm a bit confused as to your take on this thread

I’d imagine am apology to the op would be a start!!

Maliciously damaging cultural artefacts should be life imprisonment.

 

[new boy]

I think he absolutely should go to prison. I'm not sure what would be a fair sentence, but the world would be a better place without bellends like that in it, so if it were for life he wouldn't get any sympathy from me.

 

[FBi7]

People called Romani, they go to the house?

Us Brits already to a cracking job at embarrassing ourselves on the world stage on our own turf; why some feel the need to do so whilst abroad is beyond me.

I do hope he gets banged up for it.

The Italians have hardly taken good care of the place so does a little street art matter..

Yeah the glass has fallen from the windows, nobody has swept the floor for decades and the roof is missing.

If it was in Britain it'd already be student/luxury apartments.

 

[Dis86]

What a tool

 

[potatolord]

He's ruined those ruins, you know.

 

[Trusty]

Prison is bit much but heavy heavy fine should suffice..

And cover the cost of any restoration work.

Visited Rome and a 16thC church round corner to hotel had graffiti on its ornate doors. Never seen modern graffiti on UK churches

Graffiti is a major problem in Italy and Spain. So much so you can’t see the original colour of their train carriages
