   <description><![CDATA[We're moving shortly near to Bisenti/Castiglione MR and will be applying for residency. Does anyone know how we join the Italian health service? have heard some communes (so presume you register at the commune?) charge about 700euors each, but this seems cheaper than private insurance, so happy to pay it - if we know how to! Any advice gratefully received! A]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[Does anyone know about the Ticks in this country. ( not the nervous kind, the blood sucking ones!) I found one on&nbsp;&nbsp;me, and my partner managed to pull it out with tweezers (all of it)<br />But, I was speaking to a local, who said he had also had one on him a while ago, and went to the doctor who removed it, and gave him a shot and cream and antibiotics! It semmed a little over the top to me? But i dont know how dangerous these little suckers are. I know that they can carry disease sometimes , but was under the impression it was rather rare. Should I be worried <img src="Smilies/undecided.png" style="vertical-align: middle" alt="" />?.&nbsp;&nbsp;I feel fine!]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[As from the begining of May if you are an expat and receive a UK state pension then they are responsible for issuing you with a EHIC card for holidays in the EU (I assume outside the country you live in)<br />They are in the process of sending out application forms.<br />Maybe some of you already know.<br /><br />Stribs]]></description>
