A superb example of Modican pazienza as I arrived at the bus stop for Modica Bassa this morning: When I asked an elderly gentleman if the bus was due, he made the hands in the air gesture and replied,
"Se viene, arriva" -"If it's coming, it will arrive".

A stoic philosophy that has served them well for centuries.
Ummm...good luck! If we were in a hurry for the bus to come, someone would say "light up a smoke" and as soon as they did, the bus came! It worked everytime!
Wonderful and so typical :)
Very helpful advice. It made me smile :-)
And in that, of course, he wasn't too far wrong.
By the way, did it eventually come and what were you doing in MB?
This sounds familiar to me, I think in my land we are quite Sicilian too :)
Quite right, lakeviewer. Haha! Good idea, Lucia! Hi, LindyLouMac. Yes, so Sicilian! Hi, Cherie. Glad it gave you a laugh. Hi, James. Yes, eventually! There's a pet shop there whicjh is easier to get to than the one you knew. That must be why I like you, then, Josep!
