It depends on what his name is. For example, if his name is John, you call him John.

| John |
John liked to play tennis at his local club. He had been good at tennis as a youngster. Nowhere near international standard, just good enough to win a lot of club games that he played. Now he played amongst the seniors, some of whom showed up on court with a walking stick and some of whom called the ball 'out' when it was inside the line. John often wondered why he still showed up, but it filled in his Wednesday mornings.
The senior players were used to seeing John wearing his two hats and no one commented because he came across as a nice guy and showed kindness to everyone at the club. Normally, in a story like this, someone new shows up who is arrogant and everything changes. This didn't happen at John's tennis club.

I don't really have much to report about my practice. Let me see what I can think of to tell you. I thought that I might get my second fiddle* out and give it a play. It'll be interesting to hear how it sounds. It has Evah Pirazzi strings on it.
Oops, just got a call from dad and he's bringing my grandson around.
Better go.
Ciao tutti.

If I was running Richard’s bass bag this post would not have made the cut.

On Richard's advice I revisited this post.
He needs some of that medicine they give you before having a colonoscopy.
But that would remove all the shit from...
Oh, I think I see what you're getting at.
Okay, if I handed the reins over the TCI, would you be able to organise the violin and double bass section? Can you advise the readers on how to construct jazz chords?
No but I would be able to assist with your spelling and sentence structure.
Sì, e io sono il papa!
An culd you elp me with som of my proufreading to?
Your the masteur at that!
Dear readers, TC pissed into a bottle and I've taken it off him.
For those slower ones among you, my last two comments were 'taking the piss'.
Robert chuckles.
"What do you call a man wearing two hats?"
Robert's god only knows.
A double header?

Is it time to update this blog (or, at least, put another hat on).
King Carl XVI Gustaf might give you some ideas.
What do you call a phone that doesn't belong to Peter?
A water safe phone.
Peter's phone has gone down the plug hole,
Peter's phone has gone down the plug.
Peter's plug has gone down the plug hole,
He should have bathed in a big jug.
After reading the comments I've forgotten what the blog was about, I'll just go back and look. Thirty seconds later...oh yes an allegorical story about a tennis player (Peter?) wearing the proverbial two hats which is an allusion to having or performing two roles. I suppose one has to be privy to private phone calls to comprehend a lot of this. The reader is left to guess the meaning.
I get a mention almost, it takes the form of a refutation that my nickname is referencing me. Ok, I'll take the publicity.
Carry on, I have to go and post some AI pictures of me.
