THE OLD COLONEL


I think I have had a very interesting life. I'm 73 now and I don't work anymore. I was
in the army for 51 years. I retired when I was 69. I have been to so many countries
that I can't remember all of them. I've been to Australia six or seven times and to
South Africa three times. I have also been once to Russia but I didn't like it at all:
much too cold for me!

They say that love is the greatest thing and I agree. I've been married four times
but never for more than five years. I don't think women really understand me!

I've never been on television, but I've been on the radio once. It was a programme
about life in the military about twenty years ago. I met the Prime Minister on the
same day. Actually, I've met a lot of famous people: members of the royal family,
famous politicians and also famous cinema and television personalities. I've never
met the American President though which is a pity.

Because I've travelled a lot, I've seen a lot of wonderful things and have also eaten
and drunk some strange foods and drinks. I ate cats and rats in India and drank
something called Mirto on a little island in Italy many years ago.
