My Mum is kwalitee...
she can't work the predictive text on her Nokia phone (and I don't do Nokias) so when I get a text from her if she's on holiday it usually says something like "Hi Rally its Nun"

When I lived in London I had to come home for the weekend when the clocks changed so I could alter the microwave and the video for her. When she had a powercut she stuck a post it note over the flashing 0.00 on the vcr for more than two weeks as the flashing got on her tits but she couldn't set it.

She likes to listen to audiobooks at night to help her sleep (has done since my Dad died 14 years ago) as the sound of a man's voice makes her drop off a treat. She bought herself an MP3 player to listen to them on. Fair enough you say, the old bird is in the 21st Century after all. Only trouble was she got a Shuffle one. Audiobooks tend not to make a lot of sense when you get chapter 13 then chapter 2 then chapter 6 etc....thank fuck she knows from the films who did it in Murder on the Orient Express as she still wouldn't have a scooby from listening to the story.

She can be a bit old school un pc at times (still calls black people coloured for starters - and Down's syndrome people are still occasionally called Mongols) but was an absolute star when I told her that despite being single I was pregnant. Thought she'd go apeshit, to be honest. She's the World's best Grandma to my son and helped me out with the deposit on my first flat.

She also saved my Dad from drowning out in Cyprus when he fell asleep on a lilo and drifted out to sea. Swam out to get him. Nearly drowned herself in the process.

She drives me mental sometimes but I know how lucky I am to have her. She's a top bird.

You can set the Shuffle to play the episodes in order.
That's what I do on mine for the gym.

You can turn off predictive text on nokias
yet you laugh at a woman who is much older than you for not being able to despite you not knowing how to either...
