Old people are great aren’t they? Apart from the faint smell of piss and stories about the war of course (I’ve seen countless movies about it, I know what happened, no need to go on about it, Jeesh). Oh, and the false teeth. There’s something quite sinister about talking to an 90 year old man with pearly whites that even Brad Pitt would be proud of. We both know they should resemble wooden pegs, yet we pretend instead that Colgate has done a sterling job for the last four score and ten.

Anyway, old people are generally nice folks, but something shattered that illusion for me over the weekend. Have you ever heard an old lady swear? Well I have now. (more…)
