Greek refuses to grant permission for 'Greek Life Style' avatar.

Hi Alice, of course he has plenty of money, house, big fishing boat, chickens, olive trees. He can't sue me because we are now related (yes that is groaning you hear from Greece) which I will probably explain in another discussion later. He will never know he is on here as has no interest at all in the internet. He is about the biggest ladies man you'd ever meet so why he's suddenly worried that I'm trying to sell him to women is beyond me, unless he thinks they'll all turn up in droves demanding his hand in marriage. Should have said mid 50's for any interested parties out there.

That certainly makes him more interesting!

But my next discussion explains why I will have the place of honour at his wedding.

Hi Zandi, glad you liked it the presentation. This particular Greek did live and work for many years in Canada so we generally communicate in both languages at once. I don't see his problem, he's always posing for pictures with tourists and eyes up any woman who passes. You know, actually the fishermen here don't tend to smell fishy as it's actually amazingly clean whereas I did presume that going out on the boats would be a bit stinky. You are welcome to the fresh fishes and also my new relative, just keep your hands off his lobsters, they are for me only.

That one Made Me LOL,Thea.."Keep Your hands off his Lobsters,they're Mine!"

Don't worry thea, you get the 'fleshy' part, leave the head for me.

Hi thea,
Lobster meat is fattening you know hi hi..I am i more need of it now...Recently my doc said i am underweight and need to put on hi hi
Hmm nice character, thea...You can make him understand what this is all about and he might willingly give you a nice pose...Also add that many women from all over the world will admire him and know him, not just the tourists who visit that place!!!
Wont he mind if he later finds out that you sneaked a photo of him and posted it here? Even if he doesnt get into mylot, will it ever come out of your own mouth???

Malpoa my dear friend, I have not the slightest intention of introducing the idea of computers into the life of my fisherman friend, as far as he knows they are used to buy women or for women to take advantage of him, I am more than happy to let him, along with the rest of the village, go on believing that. Computers have not taken off at all over here and I know only one man who uses one in the village, but then again he doesn't fish.

Hi Kyrios akuler, unauthorised photo what nonsense my friend. He might not willingly pose for it but I have ways, and once its my personal photo I can do what I want with it, anyway he's only worried by the word internet as that nasty chap in the next village bought himself a Thai wife online and it didn't work out.
He is now a relative so I shall do as I wish, even if I have to resort to telling him I need his picture to put on my bedside table to gaze at every night. He is divorced by the way and very keen for a woman, just not one who wants to marry him for his money (or his outside bathroom).

Hi sunny, well much as i would love to upload your photo here you may not be the best representation of Greek life style as may not have the appropriate moustache.
Just because I believe my new found relative is most definitely not an object of attraction does not detract from the fact that he believes he still is. In his mid 50's he looks in the mirror and sees a slim black haired Greek rogue and not his true self. But he does typify the characters locally and some of them I knew would have taken to sea if I'd asked for their photos but this one I presumed would have no objections. Fear not I will be putting it on soon.

FYI my photo might not represent any lifestyle... . but now you have made me curious.....awaiting the photo upload....

Well I'm down there this evening, but first I need to find the camera and work out how to recharge it. Plus he could be in hiding in case I appear with my camera.

hire a detective....or 'tip' someone to do it for you...

Hi Sunny, you've just reminded me to have another attempt at recharging the camera as might pop down for some pomegrantes later from the avatar to be's garden.

Now a bone to pick with you young sir, where is your support for Pani, they are about to enter a match of worldwide importance and our poor chaps in green are now down to only 3 supporters.

hey!... i am all there for pani...right here to support them. when is it starting...i am all green and waiting..
well....well....how times change...we are back in full circle...time for me to budge you about the avatar....

The avatar photo, not very good, is now inside the camera, and if it is still there tomorrow I will attempt to put it into the computer then seek advice on what to do with it next from someone who understands the need to explain in easy speak for techical moron. I have no intention of doing it now as I'm in a good mood and these things tend to annoy me.

okay....i have the patience.....but when it comes....it should be worth the wait....

Right that's it, I will do it this evening, I'm off to find where I put the camera now then just got to work out how to recharge it. If I get stuck I can post a discussion. 'Where is my camera and how do I recharge it'. Sure to be a winner

Hi Aunty, well I just got back in from the cafenion and had a coffee with him and I'm beginning to suspect he has a thing for the cafenion owners mama, as he had a clean shirt on. I had the camera and was indeed going to snap him when it turned out the camera, which I had charged this afternoon, hadn't in fact charged, so a bit of a technical problem there I'm afraid. But I could have easily got him snapped as he was sitting down and not known for moving too quickly.

I like characters too Aunty and there are just so many strange ones out here. I will return another evening with my camera, plus I'll need to call round at his when we run out of pomegrantes.

I hope u are able to get a pic of him . I'm anxious to see it. If he is courting the mama maybe u can get a picture of them together. He might be more willing for that.

I am determined to capture him in all his glory Aunty, I believe his courtship as you put it would probably not be appreciated but he's stopped wandering round from cafenion to cafenion but stuck himself firmly in one place for the last four months. This character also features in my 'best man' discussion.

Maybe you will get him. So much for playing cupid, lol.

Hoping it will go on tomorrow (Sunday) Aunty. But it could be a bit of a let down as he really went into boring mode and I had to convince him I wanted it for the bedside table rather than for some dastardly dealings on the internet. Of course he didn't believe me but allowed a photo providing his name is not published.

The main thing is that u got it. He probably was loving every minute of u talking him in to it. Yassou.

Aunty I am still paying the price for it as just cannot seem to wash the stink of his cheap cologne off me so I hope my sacrifice is going to be fully appreciated tomorrow when it goes up - if of course I can figure out how to do it. Let's hope Lamby's going to be around and in good mood, he'll get it sorted.

Yassou niece, happy sunday. I didn't quite understand your message. I hope i am wrong in what i am thinking as to how u got his smell on u. tELL ME I AM.

Hi Kitty sweetie, well having met with such enthusiasm here from people wanting to see said pic I am now rather taken with the idea of selling him off to some willing taker. So let us reiterate here for any willing particiapants.

Age mid 50's, ample stomach (which he names his s8x cushion) and insists on fondling in public, large man boobs (we are threatening him with a bra), large moustache, gone grey from black but has not yet discovered where his friend Fotis bought the hair dye, own house, large garden, large fishing boat, one moped, one ex wife, 2 grown up childen who willingly live with him, only lobsterman around, good sense of humour, bad temper, plenty of ailments he likes to discuss, can speak some English, a tad crude (to say the least),good at lending out his unique toilet unblocking pipes and will even send the son at no charge to unblock - the most unpleasant job in the world.

The picture will now come when I work out how to first charge, and then set the time on the camera, he appeared willing enough last night to be snapped. If any of you choose to take this specimen (the walrus) off my hands I expect a large commission to be paid.

(Kitty, I can't make a disc about a landmark but hit 100 BR this morn, so I'm really happy about that one.)

Hello my friend

Good morning too you,

Congratulations

He sounds really interesting, the large mustache sounds itchy to say the least I am sure he will make someone really happy, really looking forward to seeing this pic now.

Well have a early start today,I will be here later hopefully going to spend time with mom, look forward to that.

Smoochesss my friend, have a wonderful day.

I've taken advice on how to charge the camera properly in readiness but not going out tonight, something nasty bit me earlier so had to take anti histamines which means no driving. I hope everyone is not hoping for a pretty sight appearing up there, but the image does typify the village.

Hi Opal, believe me this is not a pretty sight so don't get your hopes up here. It is totally amusing though that someone can look in a mirror and see their self from 30 odd years ago and not spot the changes

As for the picute, well I was in the cafenion last night and he was there in all his glory and I had the camera poised in readiness and he mustered a half smile, then a full smile when I told him women were begging to see his photo, but after charging the camera in readiness the battery was dead. Foiled by technology yet again. So when I've mastered charging the camera then watch out

Hi artistry, I wasn't talking about myself at all, but a local larger than life character whose only opposition to having his photo taken is what he thinks I intend to do with it, which he believes is to flood the village with strange women who will all be after his money and his flesh.

Personally I have no problem with ageing and indeed increased a whole decade on my last birthday upon realising the addition of my ten year old child really needed to be factored into my age. As for the worship of youth in society, it all depends on which society one is living in.

Hi Shames, I can't possibly reveal his name over the internet but in private I refer to him as 'the walrus' due to the resemblance to that rather strange sea creature. He is the least shy person one could ever meet but is just mistrustful of being seen on the internet as he expects many women to arrive from foreign parts to fight over him and want his money. Naturally. His photograph will appear in this interest of Greek life style of which you are now a proud member, but first I have to sort out a little problem regarding the technical aspect of my camera. I could have snapped him last night without said problem and then woken Lamby up to replace the current avatar which I don't like.

I know that taking pictures is thought of stealing someones soul in some cultures but not really come across shyness as a factor before.
