Brian told me once how he got the nickname Lizard.

He apparently used to work for the PMG, then later Telecom and now Telstra.

He was a linesman or similar, and he had a habit of falling asleep anywhere, any time, on a log, or whatever sunning himself, hence Lizard.

Well that was the version he told me.

He also told me another storey, which I will clean up here for public consumption.

Lizard liked a beer or three or more, well most of us have done this at one stage or another in our lives/service. He said he was so drunk one night that a took what he believed was a beautiful lady that he referred to as a “Tahitian Princess” to a hotel room for the night.

He could not remember much of the night of passion apparently.

Well the next day he woke up with (this is where I clean up the story) a very unattractive ugly female in bed. She laid across his arm asleep. He obviously woke up first, feeling the worst for wear. He did not want to wake her as she was apparently quite ugly. He figured he had two choices. Chew his arm off so as not to wake her, or just jump out of bed and run.

He apparently chose the latter choice. Now that is the clean version. Apparently a true story.

Oh The life of Brian.

Nothing further, other than what is recorded above, is known at the time of publication.
