Bender in Rhodes
Nearly forgot to mention his visit to Rhodes, where I was working the restaurants for a summer. He and Chris stayed on the beach for a week. During this time, Dad got me sacked from 2 restaurant/ bars and into all sorts of trouble besides. He and Chris arrived pissed, stayed pissed and went home pissed. They had strangers on the beach doubled up with laughter all day every day and consumed more alcohol than you could imagine. At one point, Chris had a squirty little fella pinned up against a wall, telling him off for being rude. It was Manoli, local mafia boss. Dad said something to a huge bloke who ran a restaurant, who launched himself over the bar at him. It was my boss, as was Manoli.
