Kefalonia, 5 In search of Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Cephallonia


The 5 Chums


 
Our five chums are refugees from the halcyon days before Political Correctness (PC), when boys were boys and girls could be tomboys, but not visa versa.

 

 
The Boys
 
The Girls
 
 
 
 
 
Dick
 
Anne
 
Dick (also known as tricky) is newly slim, and, like a reformed smoker despises anyone who is over weight.  He is renowned for his snoring, though he claims he is now cured.  Anne does not believe him.  Gerry thinks he totally lacks dress sense, though he would dispute this. Dick is expedition leader, or at least he has the pack with the tickets in.  He is prone to losing things, and thinks nothing is impossible (he works in IT).  Tipsy is a bad influence on him, especially in the evenings.
 
Anne is sophisticated urbane and debonair. She would like it known that physical appearances are very deceptive.  She is in reality six inches taller, elfin and 10lbs lighter, than first sight would have you believe.  
Her immaculate and elegant dress sense would be fully developed and indulged, if John earnt more. As it is she has to go out to work and suffer the rigours of a professional existence.
 
John
 
Gerry
 
John is the steady one, he used to have a responsible job, now he's got an important one. When it's his turn to drive, he follows the itinerary religiously.  He's not very good at randomly stopping for shopping, so the girls shout at him a lot.
John is the only one who will admit that there are some things he does not know (a cardinal sin in IT) and always tries to make a balanced judgement.  Maybe he should be holding the tickets.  We give him the money to carry instead.
 
Gerry (Geraldine) is the Tomboy. Willing to have a go at most things and beat the boys, unfortunately she has forgotten her driving licence and so can beat them at driving.  
She is the instigator of adventures and is also the nature expert.  She can identify most birds and animals at 500 yards, frustratingly though they have usually flown off or disappeared before the others get to look.
Gerry also has an unfortunate habit of breaking things.

  

       
Tipsy
Tipsy the turtle.  She is going in search of the beach on which she was born many, many years ago.
She is a bad influence on people.  They become unsteady on their feet when they go out with her. So the others try and limit her outings to lunch times and evenings (but she keeps escaping).

In fact all five have the absolute belief that they are really the leader.
