Our Man in Europe/Ragazzimento/davedelacroix/Ragazzimento No 25: LUCKY JIM!
JIMI-"Luckee" showed up at the HOTEL DAVE (€35 per nite/free coffee)... When I first met him, he was "totally" DOWN -from Oxford (University/Caius & Keynes/whatever) and established himself in the London district of Earl's Court...which was - at that time - largely Australian occupied territory; no self respecting English bloke would venture down there without a six pack of FOSTERS (Aussie beer) or a stiletto to beat off the insatiable "Sheilas"! Anyways? -blow me Kangaroo down, mate! JIMI-Luckee (Lucky Jim), a Prince - really! - and STUD of LAHORE, Pakistan, shows up at the HOTEL DAVE (€35 per nite/free coffee) 30 year later, debonair, fashion-ista, and cool: wotchagonnado?...
"Dave?..." he begins, whilst spreading BURBERRY luggage cases into every open space that the HOTEL DAVE (€35 per nite/free coffee) has; "I have THREE wives. One is American...and I am NOT HAPPY!"
"Perhaps," -I respond, the problem lies with the other TWO?..."
Next morning, after NOT leaving €35 for staying at the HOTEL DAVE (€35 per nite/free coffee), abandoning half of his BURBERRY "truckage" which was, mostly jammed packed with Indian Sari dresses and Moroccan, copper, water pipes (?), he - JIMI-Luckee! - limousines to local airport then private-LEAR-Gulf 6- JETS off to Lahore (Pakistan) and...and I DON'T hold my breath for the €35, or an immediate E-mail.
