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 cat and rat in India and drank something called Mirto on a little island in Italy many years ago.
