am in a flat in torino, digesting a huge "impromptu" family meal with two brothers who are palace fans I met at the game (which palace won one-nil :-)

are about to head for the turin pubs with said brothers, excellent hospitality. really glad I bothered to take the two hour train ride here, there were 6 palace fans and 4 hammers fans, all italian though, hearing italains imitate the cockeny accent for "i'm forever blowing bubbles" is very funny.

bad punctuation is due to italian keyboard..

more soon
