Old People Talk Bollocks"My Gran calls the remote control The Wisher" writes Kim, "and LA Law, Lah Law." Do you know any old people? Are they as inventive or creatively befuddled as this?

lizardMy grandad, pan-european bollocks-telling champion, used to terrify my sister and me with the story of the blue lizards. Whenever we were playing in his garden, he warned us about the lizards (i live in the south of France), 'they are big, blue and green and long like an arm' he said. That usually made us go back to the house, because when you're 10 a 2/3 ft lizard isnt what you want to meet. Of course we never saw the blue lizards he was talking about,only small green lizards which are very common. As I grew older I realised he was taking the piss and enjoyed scaring us.
Last year, i was working in my garden, and a 80cm blue/green lizard came out of a bush. I think i screamed like a 10yr old boy. Guess what i'm telling my nieces when they play in the garden.
