When chatting to waiters in favourite restaurants etc I generally find that i have exchanged e-mail addys with them.
but when they contact me later they use their REAL names and I only know them by the names they use in the restaurants etc.
Unless they send a pic along with the mail then I have a load of trouble remembering who is who and where from.
Bearing in mind e-mails are generally exchanged at the end of an evening
And also some of their english takes a lot of deciphering
, but not as much as my Turkish would 
Champagne, wine, raki, beer - not too fussy at times! Just snarl a lot after too much raki!
