Welcome to Cassette 1 of 'Italian for Jobbers'. Please put your headphones on and repeat after me the following useful phrases you might need whilst on the Job: L'automobile non sta funzionando - The car has broken down. L'automobile non sta funzionando ancora - The car has broken down, again. Avete viaggiato qui in quella cosa? - You travelled here in that thing? Chiedo scusa per la perdita di olio sulla vostra strada privata - I apologise for the oil leak on your driveway Non ripeterò mai questo - Never again! Non so dove l'oro è - I don't know where the gold is Siete stati supposti soltanto di esplodere i portelli sanguinanti! - You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off! Non ritorni al nostro paese bello - Do not return to our beautiful country. Now please turn over to side 2, where we'll be role-playing interviews with the local police, customs officials and breakdown mechanics. |

What's "I thought it ran on UNleaded", and of course, the classic "D'oh!". Or is that universal? |

Yes oh? You've ruined fiendishly clever disguise. Feeling a bit exposed now. |

If I can work it out, I'm sure the average reader can too. |
