    No, we had Grappa afterwards. Lots of them, in fact.

    Colin is very important, but Vienna? This means nothing to me.

    We called her Doris, we called all wimmin Doris as they didn't usually stick around long enough for us to bother learning their names. Same as the lads in Auf Wiedersehen Pet called the Germans Eric.

    Beans on toast for dinner is one thing, obliging one's wife to admit to the world that beans on toast are eaten as dinner in the family home is something else.

    There's a chap who also drinks in our local who's known as Honda John I don't think he owns a Colin scouse or otherwise, he's also known as John the gardener, Honda John that is not Scouse Colin, that would be most strange. John the gardener or Honda John should you rather has also been referred to in my presence as Jimmy Savile for some reason.

    I see some enjoyed looking out of my window and perhaps you'll enjoy

    That's astonishing. I mentioned in post #23 that my mum used to call me Eric.

    Could my mum have thought I was German?

    Our Sebo is 7 years old, every so often we have to change the dust bag.

    I asked him this afternoon and I'm happy to report it didn't have any advisories at all! I hope that the cliffhanger wasn't too tense for everyone.

    Is that you, Hermann? Funnily enough I'm posting this from an Indian restaurant that has a sodding great welcome sign flanked by two swastikas. Small world.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Another amazing coincidence. That's exactly what grandma said she told mum. This is turning into a really spooky thread.


    Before I go, a fashion tip. Brown shirts are this season's new bleck.

    My mother's milkman was called Frank. He'd been married before. I don't know if he delivered coconut milk though.

    That stuff is rank.
    Tell her to try Goat's milk, it's a great alternative to cow's' milk and has the added benefit of tasting, well, like milk

    I've only ever heard my Mum swear once, and that was when I told her my German ex was divorcing me, her comment was (she was 85 at the time) 'Fecking Germans they bombed my school and now there giving me more grief'. I'm undecided on how I shall vote referendum I always was pro Europe.

    Are you sure that your mother's milkman wasn't South African? Hermann?

    I anticipated your request and took a photo but I have to apologise for the fact that it isn't a selfie. That's Colin Patel in the photo - lovely chap but he does drink his own bath water.

    You Sir, are a cad and bounder and aren't called Colin, you are the kind of cad and bounder, not called Colin who feels free to play fast and loose with another's reputation. And, and thats just not Cricket. You Sir, the cad and bounder not called Colin should consider yourself slapped on the face and the gauntlet thrown down.
    You Sir, the cad and bounder not called Colin I demand an apology or satisfaction on the field of honour.


    We also have a Sebo not 7 years old though, its 3 I think but we did call him Colin, here he is...

    If i think of any more i think i'll keep them to myself from now on.

    What a place for a reunion. Where is it? East Acton? Poona? Give me a bit of notice and I could enlist the help of Matron Todt here at Sunnyside; we'd soon have the other inmates running up a 'Welcome home, flyboys from the staffel' banner to match the one Colin made.

    I don't have a Honda or a neighbour, but I do have a (business) partner called Colin, which is not his real name - but he prefers it to George ,which is not his real name either.

    I once gave a pound coin to a chap called Colin from Lincoln, he was a bit of a pillock.

    It's my wife's birthday today, on my way to buy her flowers. Not sure what the chap who runs the flower place is called or what car he drives. I find out.

    Don't forget to say thanks.



    Maybe he's called Udo? Or Jürgen?
