And, treat yourself to a personal tour by a fella called Jim Manning-Press, he's an old mate, a lovely fella and an absolute mine of information on Rome, he will show you things and tell you things no other tour guide will. I would Never use a tour guide, but make an exception for Jim.

On the Via Della Cisterna in Trastevere.
No, 'fraid not, have run out of time on this jaunt, heading home in an hour or so.

Sounds a bit close to 'Travail, famille, patrie' to me, the Vichy bastardisation of 'LibertΓ©, Γ©galitΓ©, fraternitΓ©'

A blue painted metal sluice valve cover set I got a grey-brick pavement bordered by a double-yellow line.

Do you know Simone on the Beach? One of my very favourite Mekons tracks.

The Daily Rothno is a wall in Rome

Nope, but the Tiber's quite a dull river, not Rome's finest aspect.

I foolishly always assume I can cope with the beer and stick with it till I can take no more...

Not really, they're ok, but I prefer the oomph of the negroni

Yep, not cheap but sod it, well worth the next few weeks in poverty.
