The big eared guy

This is dedicated to a friend of mine. A superhuman who can fly like a Bird, but unfortunately doesn’t always land like one. A fall that would have killed most people and at least would have paralysed them put Pepi out of action, bored out of his fucking mind for a few weeks. A broken back to most is pretty critical; to Pepi it’s a major irritation and an annoying obstruction between him and his bird like activities. Here’s to you Pepi, wishing you all the best, a healthy recovery and shit loads of shkembe!!!! Hope you are up in the skies again soon buddy.

A few years back when I first moved to Bulgaria, I had been there a few months and was just starting to be recognized as the Englishman or ‘Англичанин’ in the block. People knew enough of me to say hello and I knew enough Bulgarian to reply. One day, quite soon after I got married, my mother in law went into the local shop. As she was paying for a few items, a man walked up behind her, she looked round and he smiled and asked her “How is the big eared guy?” My mother in law immediately lept to my defence after this apparent rude and abrupt insult from someone she barely knew: “How dare you speak like that about my son in law. He is a good guy, we love him very much and he is part of our family. Is it normal to walk up to people and insult their families?” The man was shocked and embarrassed and almost speechless but had enough remaining words in him to reply “I was talking about your basset hound”.
