Contrary to everyone's expectations (including mine) the aged brain cells have not yet expired. Yesterday I reported a limited success with the new mobile phone. I have christened it the "Amazon" because there are large areas still unexplored and unknown to Kojak. I had made a small inroad - more a small inpath to be truthful - by taking 2 photos with it. My initial euphoria was quickly quashed on my return home when I discovered that the folded scrap of paper that purported to be the instructions proffered not one jot of information on what to do with the damned things once I'd taken them.In August 1980, I chanced upon the island of Symi in the Dodecanese. A group of Greek lads were on holiday from the Merchant Navy, using the taverna as a rendezvous. Introductions were made and as there were several Michaelis', a brace of Sotiris' and a few Theos, Dinos etc. most of them had nicknames. All were pointed out and then the Greek finger of fate came to rest on me, uttering the words "and you're Kojak". I've been "Kojak" on Symi for 30 years.
