Well, there's "me and my brother" instead of "my brother and I." Of course "...and I" is grammatically correct, but now it's beginning to sound so rigid, archaic, and uncomfortable (at least in these waters), that "me and..." actually sounds "right." I almost feel silly when I use the "...and I" form, even in writing, anymore. But I know from previous discussions on this board that the "...and I" is still in common usage in, at least, some areas of the British Isles, and Upunder.
Or, "my brother and me."
