The truth the Italians want to hide
I was led to believe that Great Britain had only won 1 silver medal at the Winter Olympics in Turin. This is what the Italians would have the world believe about us. Well there appears to be a cover up. The real truth, discovered in the official magazine about the olympics, is that we actually won 3 golds, 2 silvers and 4 bronzes. I bet you are suprised to discover this. We are a great winter sports nation but this is being hiden in case it gives us hope to conquer the world in 4 years time!! Spread the good news to everyone. We are not bad after all.
Until next time.

Hi Mike,
Just caught this on the news!!
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi joked about declaring war on France on Friday and pretended to massage President Jacques Chirac, making light of a clash between their two countries over energy mergers.
Leaving for the second day of European Union summit, Berlusconi told reporters: "There is no news, unless you journalists want us to declare war on France.
Inside the conference room, the Italian leader walked up to the seated Chirac and put his hands on the French president's shoulders in what looked like a neck-rub, prompting a startled laugh.
Tension between France and Italy has risen since the Paris government engineered a hasty merger between state-owned Gaz de France and private French utility Suez to fend off a feared bid from Italy's Enel.
Diplomats had expected Berlusconi, trailing centre-left ex-European Commission President Romano Prodi in opinion polls ahead of an April 9-10 general election, to use the summit to attack the French action.
In the event, he focussed his public comments on attacks against Prodi and insisted that he would confound the polls and win re-election.
Pizza.
