  8. Hey, everybody! I've ditched the Columbo look. The ol' raincoat was looking dirty and frayed (though it was clean, I hasten to add). The 'crystal ball' glass eye I've given to Gordon Brown so he can see what he'll be doing next year. I'm posting my cigars to MJ. I've got a lovely new khaki/black ski jacket that makes me look like a young Franz Klammer (if Franz Klammer ever wore khaki). I'm the new kid on the block!

  9. Oh, I've just googled Fraz Klammer and found a young man who would look quite acceptable were it not for his tight, bright green, all-in-one ski-suit.

    Geoff, are you heving an early mid-life crisis?

  10. Oh God, I'm not wearing his racing greens. I'm wearing his casual wear, the type of thing he'd wear to an apres ski barbecue. A martini in one hand, his other arm round Miss Austria's tiny waist.

  11. I'm sure I read somewhere that Franz Klammer disgraced himself in some terrible way but I can't remember how now. I'm quite partial to a frayed raincoat actually

  12. I put "Franz Klammer disgrace" into google and I got "To be second behind Klammer is no disgrace," said the skier who came second behind Klammer.

    I'll send you my frayed raincoat if you like. Mr Realdoc can wear it once he's burnt his West Ham sports coat.

  13. Columbo raincoats are fine. What you must not go back to wearing are those lime green shell suits that were the essential travelling garment for holidaymakers going to Tenerife some time ago.
