Bilby, I wish you a happy new year. I am grateful for the comments you have given me. I have been slow to respond mostly because I could not figure out how to do it. I have been looking for an ongoing thread I could reply to but I have failed to find it, so now I have visited your dashboard. This seems rather roundabout, like exiting the house and ringing the doorbell again before replying, but it is all I can manage for the moment.

So, seriously, how was Trieste?
And I am crestfallen at the thought that I might not get a copy of that poetry 'zine. That I was promised. I'm only claiming what is rightfully mine. I suspect you are just holding out for some kind of quid pro quo. Which, fair enough, just say the word and I will be happy to send some kind of Parisian bauble or trinket winging your way.
But I'm damned if I'm gonna post my street address here on Wordnik, and you have the vice of being nowhere else contactable, to my knowledge.
It's an impasse.

Why Bologna indeed? Because I want to start a new language in 2013 and when I was in Dublin recently, my cousins there were surprisingly vehement in their insistence that (i) I should choose Italian over Russian and (ii) that the only city worth considering in Italy was Bologna. Given that Michael, who was the most voluble and insistent of the bunch, lived there for 6 months at some point in his career, I am not willing to discount his opinion.
The basic rationale seemed to be that Russia was still basically a country that is run by gangsters, and that all other potential rival cities in Italy, such as Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples, Milan, Turin, or Siena, were either too large, too soulless, too overrun by tourists, or some combination of the above.
But I know that some of your leather-eared past was spent in Italy, so I would be very interested in hearing your views on the subject. Needless to say, this is all just in the pipe-dream phase at this point, as it is a long way until spring 2013, and I have one more trip back to Paris to organise for Sept-Nov 2012.
Paris did never pan out in terms of confectionery-dispensing dioramas, alas. But there are other compensations, not least of which is the unexpected charm of Parisians, which delights me on a daily basis.

Does anyone know why this comment box is so oddly located?
I am back in the City of Light, wrestling with such conundrums as why baguette bags only cover half the baguette and whether to splurge on the 30-month or 36-month aged Comté (Cheese-France.com tells me it has been produced since the time of Charlemagne, but I'm having a hard time tracking down the really good old stuff).
The next exciting linguistic adventure is supposed to start in Spring 2013 in Bologna. But first I have to polish my little nugget of French to its glistening best, which will take until the end of 2012.
Pademelons, eh? I've often thought that the whole pademelon/paddymelon thing is just the antipodean version of the vegetable lamb of Tartary.
The frogblog continues, but at a much lower rate of publication, I regret to say. And the whole "search phrases by which people were referred to the frogblog" thing became less interesting after 1500 people arrived there around April 1st because they typed "poisson d'Avril" into their search engine. For one brief shining moment, I thought I had become an internet star, only to lapse back into skulking obscurity 48 hours later.May 26, 2012

I was doorknocking - whoops, I mean participating in a voter engagement event - for my election campaign last weekend when a lady answered the door holding something in her cupped hands. It was a baby peach-faced parrot that had been kicked out of the nest by parents and she was trying to rear it. Had so few feathers you could have counted them. So I guess I'm saying, yanno, don't forget the almost featherless.

Of course he was the one leading the clinic, which was quite exciting because it was the week after he'd broken Mike Brearly's finger in a net session just before the Boxing Day test. He put his cap on the pitch
on a length outside off stump and we were all trying to land our
deliveries on it. Out of 10 lads I think I was the only one who hit it,
although as a leg-spinner it wasn't the line I'd normally bowl. Anyway
he got frustrated that none of the quicks could hit it so he decided to
pad up so we could bowl at him. He couldn't get a bat on many, gang-gang, but that was more a reflection on his batting than our bowling.

bilby commented on the word bungalow gobbling
Somewhat garbled definition of this (British?) term courtesy of Devivo Homes:
"Bungalow gobbling has become very popular in the recent times. This is owing to the fact that the price of real estate has been on a steep rise and there are no signs of it decreasing soon. This makes people think of ways to buy their dream home and yet stick to their budget. Bungalow gobbling seems to be the perfect solution to their problem.
The price of buying plot and building a new structure on it is very high, and not to mention it is also full of hassle. Therefore people buy cheap houses and then modify its structure to turn it into their dream home. For example, you can increase the height of the ceiling, build a new adjoining room, and enlarge a particular area."

In the last town I lived in a Thai lady called Nok had a massage business. So she put a big sign that said Nok's Thai Massage Shop. Of course it was soon referred to rather lewdly by the common people as the Nok Shop.

"Guilt is good. It’s the feature that distinguishes the rest of the population from psychopaths. It’s the sensation you are able to feel when you possess a capacity for empathy.
But guilt inhibits consumption. So a global industry has developed to smother it with a 13-tog duvet of celebrities and cartoon characters and elevator music. It seeks to persuade us not to see and not to feel. It seems to work."

"As typically happens in Russia, Pavlova began her drug use as a teenager shooting a substance called khanka, a tarlike opiate cooked from poppy bulbs, then graduated to heroin and finally, at the age of 27, switched to krokodil, because it has roughly the same effect as heroin but is at least three times cheaper and extremely easy to make."
