Or Germany and be called Kuntz. No, being half Spanish was the clincher, so that's why this title. Lopez Ufarte was mentioned in Phill Ball's 'Morbo' playing ball on the beach in San Sebastian/Donostia. First time I heard him mentioned in years.Quote:

Anyway, I looked at the name and it said 'Sean Lopez.' :eek: I nearly fell off the seat. I said that isn't a very Irish name and he laughed. Transpired he was from Kinsale and his father was German but with a Spanish father who came over to set up some sort of aircraft place where he met the bloke's mother. Strange but true!! :cool:

just wondering lopez,like em,ahem,whos driving the train while your rapping with the locals??? :D
It was just him in the cab with me - perfectly legal as he was a 'railway official' which,apologies, may not have been made clear earlier by me. The kids had to wait until I got to the end of the line (branch shuttle up in Cajun country Buckinghamshire) and the train was fully secured before they could come in, blow the whistle and basically attempt to cause general mayhem. :DQuote:

Listen my little fat, brown, friend (although I'm close to you in the brown stakes at the mo following my peaceful convalescence on the Costa de la luz): It's simple. There is one Indian takeaway in Chesham and the boss's brother runs a newsagent. Everyone else? Same surname! Just think Deliverance - or that film with Nicole Kidman and River Phoenix's brother (Caesar in Gladiator?) and the remark about hanging around trailer parks f*cking your cousins - and you'll get the picture. :DQuote:

The Metropolitan line has seen as much action over the past 15 years as John Holmes of 'Girls On Fire' fame. :eek: :oQuote:
