ho comprato una pentola elettrica slow cooker da un sito in Inghilterra, ma e' adatta per un voltaggio di 230-240V...la posso usare con il voltaggio 220V o c'e' bisogno di comprare un convertitore di voltaggio?

I bought some sweets last year at a Whittard of Chelsea shop and since a friend of mine is going to London I thought I'd ask him to get me some more but I can't remember what they're called! They're soft and come in different colours and they look a bit like jelly babies but they're not quite jellies...hope someone can help...thanks!

I heard a song in a tv program and I the only thing I really remember is that it mentioned the days of the week...I have a feeling it is a very old song something from the 50s or 60's or even earlier, like something Frank Sinatra would sing,and no, it's not Frankie Carle...I think the story is about a girl who tells her boyfriend we can meet during the week but not Saturday or Sunday or something like that...but that could be only because the singer was a woman and I don't know if that was the original version...anyway I know it's not a lot to work on but thanks for any help

Hola! ¿Me podrian recomendar una buena libreria online donde comprar libros en español? Preferiblemente que haga envios al exterior, ya que yo me encuentro en Italia. ¡Gracias!

Ho letto Eco ma siccome l'italiano non e la mia lingua lo trovo un po difficile...vorrei qualcosa di piu "leggero" ma sempre di qualita...non Federico Moccia per favore!!

I know there is much speculation about which side Snape is in....I am re-reading all 6 books while waiting for the 7th one to come out and I have found several pieces of foreshadowing that Rowling has introduced, which at the time may not have meant much but with the knowledge acquired with the following books might make sense....while reading book 4, Goblet of Fire, in the scene where Lord Voldemort regains his body and his power, he is talking to the Death Eaters who have answered the call...at the time we know there were 3 "ex" Death Eaters at Hogwarts: Snape, Karkaroff and Crouch Jr....at some point Voldemort says that six of his followers are missing, 3 who are in Azkaban, one who is too cowardly to come back (probably Karkaroff), one who has definitely left his side (this could be Snape) and one who is still his faithful servant (obviously Crouch Jr.)...What do you think?

che non sia molto costoso, per una persona dal 14 al 17 maggio, preferibilmente se ci siete stati di persona o qualcuno che conoscete c'è stato (sono già capitata in un posto brutissimo una volta, sono dovuta scappare!)

e se conoscete qualche sito online dove poter trovare esercizi per pratticarlo...grazie!

Why do prices differ in different parts of the world? Is it because of the market or are Playstations sold in different parts of the world also different in their components?

Salve a tutti...sto cercando qualche libro di grammatica italiana per stranieri...io abito in Italia da due anni ma a volte sento che non sto facendo molti progressi con la lingua...sento che sono rimasta bloccata e non riesco a migliorare più di tanto...vorrei trovare un libro dove fare esercizi di grammatica un po avanzata, visto che di solito quelli che si trovano sono per prinicipianti...se qualcuno conosce per esempio i libri "Grammar in Use" di grammatica inglese mi servirebbe qualcosa di simile...grazie mille!

any brazilians around here? I'm looking for the lyrics of a Moreno Veloso song called "Deusa do Amor"...if anyone has them and could write them down for me, i would be very grateful...thanks!!

how come christians do not hold animal sacrifices anymore ("you shall kill the bull before the LORD, at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take part of the blood of the bull and put it upon the horns of the altar with your finger, and the rest of the blood you shall pour out at the base of the altar.")

why don't you consider women having their period and everything and everyone they touch as impure?

why don't christians have slaves? doesn't the bible also accept slavery? ("Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them. 2: When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. ")

This is GOD speaking....why don't you do what he says anymore? or...wait a second...isn't it that we don;t do some of these things anymore because in our new sociocultural context they are unacceptable? Then if we have adapted to our times in this sense, can't the church understand it needs to change in other senses too?

i've seen on several tv shows that show how breast implant operations are made that sometimes they remove the nipples and place them in a new position according to the new size of the breast...but by doing that don't you lose all sensibility in your nipples? as an erogenous zone i mean...
