Anyway \u2013 Neil would have loved Twitter as it would have given him a chance to pick up on conversations and engage with random people \u2013 although the 140 character limit may have frustrated him a bit.<\/p>\n

Suddenly I get it \u2013 effective Twittering is just like my late Father in Law\u2026..<\/p>\n
Picture this: The Longhair and I are in a lift in the Beacon Isle, Plettenberg Bay. We are accompanied by my late Father in Law, Neil Villet, and two Sandton Kugels talking in that distinctive nasal whine. Neil, in his best bedside manner (as in a Doctor\u2019s bedside manner!) turns to the one and says; \u201cShame, dear do you have a cold?\u201d to which the kugel replies whilst batting her mascared eyes, flinging her bottle bought tawny mane and jingling her gold; \u201cNaaaw, I juss talk like dis.\u201d Result \u2013 the Longhair and I dissolve into fits of laughter and, to this day, we will never know if Neil was being serious or taking the mickey out of the nasal twins. We like to think that it was his wicked sense of humour.<\/p>\n
More examples: Woe betide the person who even looked at Neil when we were walking along the beach as he would stop and engage them in conversation. In a restaurant<\/a> he would travel from table to table asking people how they were enjoying their food before ordering his own choice \u2013 I often wonder if people thought he was moonlighting as a Maitre De as the Surgeon business was a little bit slow.<\/p>\n Anyway \u2013 Neil would have loved Twitter as it would have given him a chance to pick up on conversations and engage with random people \u2013 although the 140 character limit may have frustrated him a bit.<\/p>\n
