I have a chum who is Italian and he is living and working here in the UK but he is as homesick as can be. I tried all sorts to cheer him up but he is not only missing his mama’s cooking, but he is missing his TV programs even more. He asked me to see if I could find a little ‘video divertentissimi ‘ for him or a little video parto but my Italian skills are limited to asking for pizza so I went to my old friend the internet to see what I could do for him. Then rip whoosh thud there it was, his own Italian catch up site.

I sent the web address to my Italian mate and he is now watching all of his favourite best bits on his laptop in his flat. I still don’t really know what video divertentissimi or video parto actually is, but he seems pleased enough with the gig. Then he told few of his mates at college and soon they were all sitting watching stuff that I was at a loss to get to grips with. My friend told a group of his Italian friends about the site and they all seem stuck to the front of the screens watching stuff that is a bit weird to me.

I have sat and watched some of the drivel he is into and to be truthful its no Eastenders or Coronation street But each to his own. I think it is great though that no matter where you are, as long as you have internet access you can catch up on all your favourite shows. I am lucky enough never to have been in his position but I know a few others that have and they have spent their days laying blessings of BBCi and 4OD and such.

I am away out now because if I have to listen to anymore of his awful TV I think I will go mad…so if you want a little ‘video divertentissimi’ or ‘video parto’ just log on to see what it’s all about.
