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?

Well...These are ever so slightly off topic, but funny all the same.
A few years ago, we decided to watch The Matrix with my nan. All the way through we got a load of questions asking "Whos he?" "Is he a goodie?" "Whats going on?" And, throughout the film, someone kept playing with the volume on the remote. So, at the end of the film I turn to my nan to ask what she thought.
"It was ok," she said, still looking a bit confused. "But what was that green bar that kept appearing at the bottom? Was that the score?"
".....no nan. That was the volume display."
But did it stop there? No.
One time, I went into the kitchen to find her staring at a glass that was (supposedly) whiskey and lemonade. Instead of a clear liquid, it was filled with a white frothy substance. She swore blind she had only poured in whiskey and lemonade and, to prove it, took a sip...
....then spat it straight into the sink. Turns out she'd mistaken a bottle of Dettol for her whiskey.
So......yeah. My nan.
Carry on.
