  • I read the stuff you put on your home page and I was impressed. Logical and useful. Gawd... I just can't help it, can I? I think it's the teacher bit of me trying to get out:rotfl:

    Anyway, I'm basically saying, go for it. Your site will be fantastic I'm sure and I hope it proves to be profitable for you.

    Rog (sorry Pap, this is a completely shameless hijack), do you speak Italian by any chance?

    Yes I do Snags - is there something you want translated?

    I'm trying to find a translation for 'porro' - now I think it's a leek (and 'spliff' in Spanish...lol), but is it also some sort of mode of transport at all? Maybe a slang name?

    It's a quiz question, and I'm not even certain it's Italian, but it sounded Italiany/Spanishy.

    There were no other clues to it, just 'porro', and the answer is a mode of transport.

    Porro is, indeed, a leek in Italian - 'burro' is a donkey (Spanish) - are you sure it was spelt correctly?

    Apparently it's definitely correct. But I've no idea what language. I've Googled until I'm blue in the face, but I can't come up with anything. Oh well, thanks anyway.
