A term often used to refer to a toy or model train. Lionel is a company that has been making electric trains for over 100 years. Its name has become synonymous with model trains in America.

Or "the Monk" due to his birds nest barnet which is currently defying all scientific reasoning with it's miraculous regrowth. This poor misguided City fan is sometimes partial to wine with his lunch, other times partial to Guinness with his lunch. Mostly, though, due to being barred from the local Chinese chippy, he skips lunch altogether and has wine with Guinness.
