So it was Saturday night, about 1am, apparently..... Nutty Dina (she who supplies the tasty treats to the bar - no reflection on her state of mind), ran into the bar from across the road - the tax people were in there...... Cue general panic as receipts were checked on all tables - after all, a visit from the tax police can easily wipe out a couple of night's takings upon discovery of even the smallest discrepancy...... Big P & Mr M very stressed, particularly when the tax people emerged from the newly named (and this year very successful) Sousouro Bar opposite, and sat at our tables out the front as they proceeded to rip into the poor man's books. Big P tells me that Arturo found out they came away virtually unscathed luckily - but fancy coming around at peak time on one of the busiest nights of the years. If I'd been down there I'd have had their ankles!!!
More on Saturday night - the dancing began - led by Miss J (no sparkles this time - classic LBD).... Who new that Timbo & Lol are such movers?
The Dad's friend Theodoros (from Miltilini via Bruxelles) came in alone, showing once again to one and all his uncanny resemblance to Mr George Clooney..... He and Miss J got on like a house on fire, so I'm told.....
Collette & Nadine (sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted....) have departed once again, leaving behind a trail of broken hearts........ Collette promised she was saving herself for Big P, but opted instead for a trip to Eftalou Beach with The Lothario (watching the sunset together at 2am, allegedly)........
Nick the Knife and lovely wife had a romantic tryst on the balcony - if ever two people were meant for each other, even after all these years....... well, that's what she tells him!! The Knife is so much happier now that the house is sold - the canaries will not starve after all!!!
Left of The Terrace and his lovely wife were also in on Saturday night for a blast of Brown Sugar) - nice, normal, funny people - a rarity in Molyvos (including the dads).
Bit of a mistaken identity situation the other night. Mr M tells it like this..... Which handsome young sailor confused the girl with the black hair with the one with the long dress (both gorgeous, and both closely connected to a premiere harbour eaterie)? Shame, apparently, as it all went rather awry, and expectations were dashed......................
A quick word to Mr Tonto and family back home in the UK - whatever they tell you a lot of ouzo was consumed that night, and the dad's were not forcing it down anyone's throat......... By the way - Happy Birthday again Chris, and Petra, and Cor........ too many Leos!!!!! Talking of lions, the lovely June (babysitter who constantly falls over) told me dads about Christian the Lion Cub on Youtube........ we watched it and I swear the sentimental old fools both had tears in their eyes - watch it and weep!!
Quick word to Bolton 13 and Nice Family - Shiraz sales dropped by 95% in the past week........... oh, and I know someone who'd like a pic of Craig in his motorcycle leathers! Really!!
Lily - make sure they all come back - gonna get some Rammstein in for your dad..........
Take care - M x

Greetings from a damp and drizzly Bolton. Flip-flops to Gore-Tex in less than a week...the bloody English weather. If this is what climate change has in store for us I may follow your lead and open a bar somewhere warm.
Well, we've gone and done it....seven of us so far anyway! The Bolton (Magnificent) Seven ride into town again on July 30th 2009 for a fortnight of sun, sea and Shiraz....hopefully not on that knackered old charabanc with the busted aircon that dragged us kicking and screaming to the airport a week last Thursday.
I wouldn't bother downloading any Rammstein for Patrick...just grab a videocam and film yourselves knocking seven bells out of the pots and pans in your kitchen...nobody will be able to tell the diffference.
Warwick mamages to beat me with the news of our re-visit next year - i thought i got up early but have you seen the time of his post?
So about 50ish weeks to go, so all we have to do now is get a new boiler fitted, service mot & tax the car, send Viv & Lily over to Spain for 12 days next sunday (alright for some!), have Lily's birthday, have a world famous Halloween party, bonfire night, xmas, have a world famous New Year Eve party where the music is gonna be nothing but cover versions, easter, my birthday and Viv's birthday and glory me we'll be with you! Not that much on really i suppose.
Like the sound of the Rammstein tribute band - Mollstein anybody
Molly,
Just e-mailed the Dads to inform them that the Bolton 7 has already increased to the Bolton 9!
Sue says to tell the Dads to stock up on the Shiraz as she's gonna be breaking all consumption records next year!
