    My granda told me that back in his day they had buttons on TV

    And they would somehow get up and use the buttons to control the TV

    Have you tried looking in the last place you'd look? People say that's where they find things.

    Have you checked your pocket?

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Na, I don't buy newspapers. I have a Delia Smith cookbook and a copy of Kama Sutra but it's not under either of those.

    Yep, full of beer, cheese and strawberry yoghurt. Perfect for a session, no good for watching Deadliest Catch.
