I effectively stopped drinking around the time of the last Scalford. Obviously you and I had a boozy afternoon in Oxford. Otherwise, I’m almost tea total since then.
I’m fucking cunted now though. Tomorrow might be unfortunate.

Quite tempted. We’ll see how the actual holiday pans out, but zoom up, couple of beers in A La Mort Subite or Monk and zoom back

We went a few years back, fecking hot in July and August.
Only one autostrada going across east to west, the rest of the roads have a blanket 50kph (30) limit.
Despite that, Sicilians drive like total fucking loons

We went a few years ago now but it’s still one of my favourite places we’ve visited in Italy.

Cheese with jumping maggots, it’s a must. Oh, big fuck off active volcano, lovely.
It’s on my retirement bucket list for a 90 day stay.

Don’t go in August, apart from the heat, every resort is stacked with Italians from the mainland.

Absolutely and a trip up Mount Etna or a night time boat trip out to see Stromboli

If it’s super-hot then it’ll be cooler down here (it was when we visited, albeit that was in the 1990s)
When they say mummies they mean regular dead and sometimes disintegrating bodies, but with clothes on, hung up on the walls.
The whole island was run by the Mafia back when we were there. It wasn’t a problem (OK, maybe a moral one). They’re as good at running things as anyone in Italy is. Actually there was also some sensitivity about whether they were part of Italy or not. The public mailboxes had two slots, for letters to Sicily and letters to the continent.

While the protagonists are an acquired taste (I actually warmed to them) Sicily comes out pretty well in this.
Buying a couple of adjoining properties for a Euro each & doing them up.
