A little bit of sunshine

"Where's your grandpa right now?"

"In the trunk of our car."

Do you know where your grandfather is? Are you missing a 91 year old man in a wheelchair? Well a corpse matching this description was checked-in to from Liverpool to Berlin today. Two women have been arrested for trying to smuggle a body out of John Lennon airport.

Do you remember that scene in Little Miss Sunshine when they steal Grandpa's body from the hospital? Well it turns out it wasn't all that far from the truth. I couldn't find that exact scene, so just sit back and relax to this one instead.

Ireland on film. Or not.

This fantastic Specsavers ad was actually filmed in the Faroe Islands. The seanfhear in the geansaí, the sheepdog and Mo Ghile Mear soundtrack would all lead the viewer to think that it is Ireland, but it's just a deception.

Two old poofs have been turned away from a B&B in Berkshire, on the basis that they were two old poofs. (I know, people having sex at that age! Perish the thought!) Apparently the B&B owner was a Christian and the idea of having Sodom and Gemorrah in her upstairs bedroom was just too much to stomach.

On the one hand, I can agree with the owner. It is here family home that she is opening up and therefore she should have some degree of choice in who she admits. At the same time, refusing someone on the basis of their sexuality is the same as refusing them on the basis of gender or on the colour of their skin - so that is intrinsically wrong. I suppose the core issue here is that the woman has taken the Christian belief and let it interfere with her common sense. Jesus said to "love thy neighbour". Well John loves Michael, surely Mrs Wilkenson can't have a problem with that.

An overweight old man will come sneaking into your house at midnight intent on destroying what little bit of happiness you might have had...

When we were kids, we used to go to Dublin to visit Nana. Once a visit was announced, the first question to come to mind would be "Which Nana?!"

A delightful use of Paul Simon's Mrs. Robinson by some misbehaving elderly people.
