    It is badly translated, literally it reads "This lectern was - I nicked."

    The wrong gender of "this" is used as well... assuming "lecturn" is a masculine noun. (aceasta vs. acesta).

        Romania and Italy are very closely related, is there something in the culture that gives them such a poor reputation?

            Doh, didn't get the reference.

            Romania is kind of like Italy, with a weird Slavic/Turkish spin.

            I prefer Italy myself, the food is better and it is cleaner (save for Napoli).

            However there are so many Romanians in Italy now though it is like being in Romania.

              Perhaps they can give it to the Greeks as a bargaining chip for the Elgin marbles.
