Not sure he has a big penis but the last time we went to dinner we got onto the subject of elderly family members meeting new people after husbands/wives pass on.

I told him that my grandma met somebody new on a Nile cruise, he called her a slag!
I nearly walked out. Probably should have chinned him.

Maybe it was him she met and he was talking from experience!!


RIP Nan

It was just crocodile tears.

I just saw there had been posts on this thread, so click the last page of it and saw this post, and sat wondering how we'd manage to meander so much from the takeover.

Excellent stuff.

By asset strippers.

Bleeding the thread dry of all the informative posts. It'll be down to 521 pages by this evening.

Speaking of crocodile tears, I had a funny conversation with a punter I caught out last week.

"You are going to accuse me of all sorts now, but, sniff, it was a genuine, honest, mistake. I completely forgot (full on breakdown was how it sounded)".

It may have carried more gravitas had that not been complete bollocks, or that she cries like this on every call when asked a difficult question, or, my favourite, that the reason she is often crying is because she has "just lost my Dad".

She has just lost her Dad, when crying and notifying a new claim, 9 times in 5 years now!

Sounds a good job for picking women up. Mental ones and I guess its not very ethical

I was interviewing a WWII veteran the other day and I got something in my eye. I told him I had something in my eye, but I realised he thought his story had moved me to tears. So I actually had to pretend to be moved to tears.

It was a shameful performance, God help me.

I knew bankers were hated, but is it mandatory to be a prick then to become one? Is there some test? Is Piers Morgan actually a banker?

Anyway, there I was sitting in The Costermonger just before closing time nine days before Christmas 1976   and trying to work out  whether what we  had just seen had really happened or someone had spiked our pre match drinks.
