Australia-Italy 15-0
Don't worry... I surely complain also about the Italians! Not to speak about the easy target, our overlord Silvio Berlusconi, give a check to nice guys such as Umberto Bossi... and his electors are around me now I lived in northern Italy! Brr... chills of disgust.  Even Piedmont (I am in Turin now) which was traditionally leftish, now has a total Northern League jerk as governor. To put it on the fun side, maybe I'm especially angry against you Commonwealth guys since Australia again washed us out yesterday in rugby! So for me being polite, or the grocery man, wait till we'll be beating Australia or New Zealand! Joking! Seriously, I really admire Anglophone and Nordic civilizations, and I honestly think you (and Australia in particular) are far better than us in 90% of life things (and 90% of what remains comes from our past). Again honestly, in the matter I got disappointed since I always had a very big picture of Times and British journalists in general (while 90% of Italian ones are renowned to be just serfs of they payers), but for once I understood that journalist made a big mess and did not study in depth the matter. Ciaoooo!! Hugs from Attilio.   
 What Nona really wants to know is: The word "desktop" has been used in the material that Murray pasted on the talk page. The auto-translator (I am almost sure that this wasn't translated by some arrogant Italian with very poor English....) has it as:
The quality of the painting in general and fundamental stylistic characteristics such as the indefinite desktop.... What on earth does it mean? If you could possibly find the Italian version, I'm sure you could translate this more accurately. 
  
I think the guy meant "background". Does it fit?
