From Veera Pandyan covering Sussex, Essex, Wessex and MiddlesexOnce upon a time a Sri Lankan and for some four decades or so a transplant on British soil did not have his omelet on the Sri Lankan Airline when he flew on it a decade and half ago when it was not Sri Lankan but Air Lanka. Chicken, Omelet or Airline what’s in a name? Charlie Somu, Lamp Post Charlie or Kitchen Charlie for Charlie Boy will always want to bootlick the Tiger Boys right or not or even frivolous.
Charles Somasun-Daram flies his rage in many names but once a charlie always a charlie!Some chap has a tirade against the Sri Lankan Airline and Charlie Boy wants to jump the wagon because it is an opportunity for him to say something which he thinks the LTTE will applaud him and give him the Mamanithar Award when the obvious happens to him one day or other.
Sometimes, it is understood when the LTTE feels that conferring such a title on someone was overdue and no one was prepared to die, then they make such a possibility a reality themselves. Charlie Boy may become a Lamp Post Martyr if he is not careful. In his Harrow locality there are guys who can make that come about; that may be why he is confined to the kitchen!
Contrary to the tirade against the Sri Lankan Airlines, the proof of the pudding is in the eating and not the congealed sausage Charlie Somu came across sixteen years ago flying from London to Colombo. Or was it the other way? Anyway that matters not.
He claims he was shabbily treated by the cabin staff but this writer on numerous occasions has found the service, style and attitude exceptionally courteous and good. The chances are Charlie Boy must have behaved obnoxiously. So much so he would have been denied “over the limit” alcohol consumption.
There is a suspicion he loves any American Whiskey on Vodka for the mere satisfaction of saying the American rides the Russian! But there are far too many jokes about Charlie Somu and this may be one of them. But being a genuine Panangkoddai, he loved his Jaffna Toddy but that was some decades ago!
But if he is not alcohol bent, he may have made a pass at one of the cabin staff; not necessarily a female, judging from the ways things are going on in this world, it could be a male steward.
This writer is not aware of Charlie Boy’s inclinations but he knows that he is a chronic inveterate liar. His writings betray him and so is his reaction to one guy’s vitriolic vituperations on the Sri Lankan Airline.
If ever I am on a queue waiting to check in on a Sri Lankan Airline flight and by any chance see Charlie Somu anywhere near, I will call the security. Such people are foolish and vulnerable and can be used as stool pigeons. His face, it is believed is uniquely “Revelationary” – many who have known him confirmed it.
Now Charlie Boy has a problem. He has plans to go to Thailand, the country of certain types of delights among other attractions. It is said he is having a time with his Harrow-based travel agent who gets a good deal from the Sri Lankan Airline.
Charlie Boy knows the airline is good and it is his inveterate lying nature that presents this airline negatively.
It is understood that he has been advised to change his name by deed poll. If by any chance you come across a Mr Marad Nusamos do call the security whether at London Heathrow, London Gatwick or even London Stansted.
There is every possibility Lamp Post Charlie is on his way to the Waikiki version of Thailand. It could be via Bandaranaike International on Sri Lankan Airline. He knows that there is no other airline in the world as good as Sri Lanka’s national carrier.
