Whitey Grandad

If we're off to the Costa Brava again I'd like the dates so I can arrange my holiday, please

That would be nice it would be the ultimate insult.

Instead of floundering outside the Eurozone do you mean?

You should see me now

He drove ok, he once gave me a lift in his Hillman Hunter estate.

All of this. He will always be Anthony Wedgwood Benn, formerly Viscount Stansgate to me. He never had the faintest clue what it was like to be poor or what went on in the real world. I once saw him in a TV debate where he thought that bank base rate was what you actually paid for borrowing money.

Spot on mate, the only thing I might have seen is the first episode of LOST but I thought it all a load of pretentious twaddle. Like a lot if these types of show it had all the appearance of being made up as it went along by a team of scriptwriters who didn't really know where they were going. I'm also not a great fan of hand-held jerky zoomed-in camerawork, it gets between me and what's going on so please alert me if this is the case in any of these. W Grandma is a great fan of crime thrillers, especially continental foreign language ones, so my viewing opportunities are limited after football and the odd action film. I rely on my son for recommendations and he sometimes lends me box sets. I'll have a chat with him.

You think that's bad, explain to me how this can happen: http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/video_and_photo_gallery_norfolk_fire_station_destroyed_in_blaze_investigations_continue_1_3422676

The only one of these that I've seen is Rome, and there won't be any more of those now that the set has burnt down

I think there was surface wreckage to help them find the location. It might be an idea to have a buoy that was released though.

It might be underwater.

I never begrudged him his holiday in the sun. I wonder if we shall see his like again. As for the eulogies, it reminds me of this sketch:

'That team was good enough to win'? Good enough to lose 3-0 it seems to me.

Yeah, these poles are everywhere these days since they joined the European Union.

Is this Goatgirl we're talking about?

Aren't the hollow points used by sky marshals for the same reason?

But have you forgotten all about them? Of course you haven't, you're mentally scarred for life. On your deathbed you last words will be "Adidas" and somebody will make a famous film about you.

The only thing I'd swap is their attitude to the FA Cup.

You'd think so. If you are misguided enough to do it for a 'cause' then you'd want everybody to know about it.

Well that's just put his price up by 33%

It'll be a luge success.

Turned 180 degrees?

Perhaps he wanted to be able to see when he turned round to talk to his mate behind him?

At that age you won't want to.
