You will always find member doing wrong (I done some myself), but that's not CP or the QA...Do and hassle a bit more...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Agreed, but I do personally think QA is a bit of a mess.
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

A decent size chunk of the good people left or stopped posting - largely because of having to dealing with nonsense that goes on in Q&A.

When you walk out the door to a pub is it any less mess out there?

... Wear a T-shirt that reads: "NO, I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE A F***ING TOUR!" on the front, and "DO I LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF IDIOT WHO USES A F***ING SELFIE STICK?" on the back
(The degree of expletive-deletery is up to you).
It's become unbe-bluddy-lievably annoying, the way one after another after another approaches you with loud demands for taking tours or buying bluddy selfie-sticks.
Even with all the meetings and discussions I had to go to, I think my most used phrase for the trip was "Sto parLANdo, qui!", from the number of rude interruptions I was subjected to on the street.
Bluddy shameful.
And it's worth noting that not one of them was Italian; they're all bluddy foreigners, over there to scrounge a living.

I noticed the prevalence of the feckin retard canes when I was in Paris at New Year. In the Louvre, people were taking selfies of themselves with the myriad artworks in the background. FFS, these people should be charged extra to take the nob-rods into any public place.

Right. If you're not walking into one being held out by some PITA shouting "YOU BUY! YOU BUY!", you're walking into one being held out by a moron who thinks it's cool.
In the stupidest places, too. Some of the most fun parts of the Vatican involve lots of really narrow corridors. No-one's experience of them is improved by morons extending yard-long sticks.
My last time in Paris was two years ago, They didn't exist, way back then.
Ah, the good old days...

Oh, I've done North Africa -- M'Diq was the worst I encountered. You expect it there, but this is Rome!
I've been to Roma loads of times, but not in the last few years. The change is unbelievable.

How do you recognize foreigners from Romans on Neapolitans? They usually have accents so strong to be almost uninteligible even for the other Italians. We have something like 50-60 strong dialects and maybe more - I'm counting the ones I heard - in Italy. Anyway the probability they are foreigners is still high, we have a lot of unregistered immigrants here, all of them loosely correlated to crime syndicates - mostly without knowing, they are simply used to get charity bonusses from the connivent local governments.
I've been to Rome and the rudeness of its inhabitants is epic. There's a common saying that romans are "burini", that means rude, arrogant and ignorant.

Because if you use really, really difficult grammatical constructions, e.g. the plain ol' subjunctive, their eyes glaze over with incomprehension -- if you say "fosse", they worry they'll be chased by angry cowboys.

Capital-city syndrome. Avoid Paris.

Presumably because "paesani" is already claimed further South, so they had to find a synonym.

I see that you understand perfectly the matter. Except that "paesani" means "from the same town", the national derogative term for southern people is "terroni". In the northern regions they are also referred as "napuli", pronounced similar to "Napoli" the city, depicting that for a northener any southener is from Naples, no exceptions.
In Turin, my hometown, until 30-40 years ago there were still the signs on the doors "we do not rento to southeners". It should be said that in the FIAT golden age many people from the south, especially poor, illiterate, hygienically deficient and/or outright criminals came in great numbers in Turin. There is a saying depicting this, in Bari's dialect "Se Torin iev' o mare iev' na' piccola Bari", literally "If Turin had the sea it would be a small Bari" - since there were many many people from Puglia.

As our official and honourable CCC host, Herr CDP1802, evidently is unable to perform his duties, due a near lethal dose of various German poisons[^], I feel an obligation to fill in with this little miniature:
"Element against criminal elements" (6)
[EDIT:]I agree with Griff: as Agent 007 figured it all in no time, he should be the chosen one Wednesday!

Copper?

Yes of course!

Quote: "Element against criminal elements" (6)
But let's see:
against -> per
element -> Copper
So, criminal elements -> Cop? 
Sorry, it was just a guess from my side at first until you confirmed. 
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

To be honest I was even more primitive:
Element: copper
Against criminal elements: copper
But you were pretty quick!
