General Bernard Freyberg. NZ general who fought well but when informed by Ultra that Crete was to be attacked discarded the idea that it could be done by parachutists. Ouch.

Barman. A guy i often meet but always like.
In the case that for reason beyond my comprehension this entry would be rejected, may I suggest :
Bosseman, friend of Coppenolle, whose children are to be married but soccer intervenes. One is a supporter of the Reading, the other of the Union.
More in the fantastic theater play in Brusseleir - some kind of dialect spoken last century in Bxl.
Here an extract with the fantastic character of Madame Chapeau.
Called Mrs Hat because she is too distinguished to go out in her hair... (litteral translation... ). And then she talks brusseleir - not very uptown...

Hugues Aufray. French singer already old when i was young. Specialised in 'boy scout' songs. The kind one would interpret with a guitar at church for a wedding... He is indeed 93. But younger in his head and he exchanged his wife who was his age for one half of it. She is now 48.
