ArchivesRe: OT: Welcome Konstantinos!
in reply to a message by Pavlos
South Africa is famous for its time warps! Apartheid in the bad old days, our national team's preferred style of football at present (which is why they lose a lot. Whimper!) ... I could go on.
By the way, South African Demetrioses tend to be known as Jimmy. Is that local or world-wide? I've got a cat named Jimmy, and I like to think about the friendly feral cats I met in Athens ... but perhaps it isn't a real link?

Actually I have met Dimitrioses in the US who dub themselved Jimmy -- and, even more absurdly, Constantines who adopt the somewhat silly "Gus" ! Within Greece, a few Demitrioses with a stong sense of self-satire call themselves Jimmy, as in the case of "Jimakos Panoussis" a satyrical/surrealistic lyricist-cum-modern day Aristophanes.
