Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

The only thing with Twitter is that a lot of adverts appear on the feed which can be annoying, you can block an advert but then another one pops up in its place.

 

Quite a fair few Italians stayed in Southampton at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. Strange to think I could have been a Lazio or Napoli supporter. Or if the family had moved on from Southampton I could have been born in London or Paisley in Scotland. Probably the climate again. It was cold enough down here without going further north. My grandfather made and sold ice-cream. Had a shop in East Street.

 

So do I. I have thousands of hours of audiobooks, radio plays, classic series, comedies, etc...

 

Are you related to Anthony Minghella? Didn't his father have a similar business on the IOW?

 

It is amazing the numbers of people that left the South of Italy and Scicily at that period. Buenos Aires, and indeed cities throughout Argentina were settled in by people from Southern Italy. You may well have distant cousins throughout that continent. For the past 20 years or so, Argentines and other South Americans have been coming to Spain.

 

No. And quite possibly about the IOW thing.

There were several Italians with ice-cream businesses in Southampton. My family was just one of them. Even today someone, somewhere will make a connection with my surname and ask if my family ever made ice-cream. We don't now, though I still know how its done.

Gosh, that breaks your heart.

 

First ever play on Radio One for Fable coming up on Monday.

Slowly slowly....!

 

Fable ous news... () what time?

Can't wait to get out the vinyl at dinner parties

 

Not till one in the morning or something. It's on Friction's (?) show.

 

I'll look for it on catch up. Great break through and probably right airtime, as the stuck in the 80s old farts like me won't be up at that time!!

 

Friction as in the drum and bass dj?

good idea, if it keeps the animals out of the stadiums. Let them smack the hell out of each other away from normal people

 

Hmm, not sure about that. Kind of legitimises violence. Also, expecting violent people to respect a rule whereby they don't beat the hell out of each other, outside of an arranged meeting, is naive in my opinion.

 

The very same, yes.

 

Thankfully I'm not a producer

 

Interesting... takes me back a few years that

Might have a listen if I'm up.
