This is a question Grandparents

My awesome grandad flew in Wellingtons in the war. Damn, those shortages were terrible. Tell us about brilliant-stroke-rubbish grandparents.

No Shame
My maternal Grandad is fantastic. A computer wiz, who introduced me to computers when I was a little kid (he had me hooked with Lemmings!). However, if there is something that I will always be the definition of my Grandad, it's that he has no fear!!

My Grandad has a deep love of Australia and would move tomorrow if he could. However, I am not so sure that Australia is prepared for him. I will never forget the photos being passed round when he and his wife came back from a 3 month stay in Sydney.

We were all say down, my Grandad proudly stood in the centre of the living room regaling us with stories. On the sofa was my dad, me my sister and my mum. Chris (Grandad's wife) passed some photo's to my dad, whose face seemed to be engaged in some kind of twitch-fest, nodding and saying absolutely nothing he handed the photo to me.

There was my Grandad, stood proud as any man - with a bright red head, browning arms, a milk-bottle white torso and very white speedos. To this day I will never get that image out of my head, and how none of us laughed until we were in the car is beyond me.

Length? None of us can look him in the eye when he talks about Australia now!
