Imagine if we’d won the first leg 5-0. We’d have been insisting that @jackalbion was stabbed in the arse before every subsequent match.

I have changed this
Just bringing people up to date with this...
Andy and @jackalbion have made up their losses which has left a balance of £560, which has been transferred to me.
I shall be buying a selection of Albion and more general Brighton-related goodies for the Good Samaritan Riccardo over the next few days.
All being well, I'll get those to @Iggle Piggle who is visiting Rome in a couple of weeks and has very kindly volunteered to take the gifts out and present them to Riccardo.
The remaining cash will be donated to charity.
Further updates in due course...

@Iggle Piggle that's really nice of you to take them out there!!
Re the general 'Brighton' themed stuff, surely there's got to be some sticks of rock sent over to them so they can think we're even more strange! A couple of cans of tinned pineapple would be quite funny in my childish view. ;0)

The good news is that I broke the news to my wife last night that on our holiday we will be a) going to the location where 2 people got stabbed and B) our suitcase will be full of Brighton tat. She took it surprisingly well.
I was saved by my 13 year old son who is very enthusiastic about the whole thing (he's Brighton mad) and will probably be used as the memorabilia presentation mule for any photo opportunities which he thinks will turn him into a social media sensation. Who needs a trip to the Collosseum?

Just a thought... some Albion tat is fine, but couldn't you get him a good bottle of whiskey as well?
On the subject of Brighton tat and booze:
Could we return a bottle of that filth Tuaca to it's land of origin?

When @faoileán suggested Whisky my 1st thought was Tuacca. It's really nice, but I can't stand the smell of Whiskey!!

Just catching up on this thread - no surprise who caused the binfest - but can someone bring me up to speed with what the restaurant fella did as I missed this bit? Did he fight off the muggers? Very, very ballsy as they had blades and what a great gesture to send him some BHA stuff - well done to all involved (minus the muppet)

He basically signalled us to come in the restaurant, shouted at them to piss of basically, rang the police and ambulance while me and Andy were leaking claret all over his lovely restaurant.

Clearly, then, the ideal gift is - a nice bottle of Claret for the good Samaritan restauranteur ....
Best make sure it's an Italian one so as not to offend - can you even get Italian Claret?

In the Algarve
Historically, Claret refers exclusively to Bordeaux red wines but in recent times the Yanks and the Aussies have stolen the word for some of their topnotch Cabernet Sauvignon blends. The Italians do not use the term in their wines.

Gets my vote. As Guinness Boy said, the apron is pure genius. Thank you for arranging. Look forward to the photos by Iggle Piggle when they make it to Rome.

@Bombardier Can you do me a favour? Can you confirm the email address you got hold of Riccardo on? I'm assuming it's info@cuocoecamicia.it
Don't want to turn up and no one there!
I'm in receipt of the goods. Loving the Apron.

We are indebted to you for transporting the goodies. Shout if you need anything else.
