My step-mother-in-law is ga ga and she has this system where you dial A for this number and B for that number and so on. Trouble is, she can't remember whose numbers belongs to which letter so this is a typical conversation:

My phone rings and I pick it up:

Me "Hello"

Her "Hello! Stuart? (her son) You sound funny. Have you got a cold dear?"

Me "No, it's not Stuart, it's Julie"

Her "Julie? Oh. Hello. What are you doing at Stuart's house?"

Sounds like my grandad. 'Well, I rang Val's number, I don't understand it...'

She once asked for Mull of Kyntire soup. Guess what she meant?

A few of my nan's:

'I got you a box of them Flake Prawn Line'.

'Want a slice of gatux?'

'Have you ever had one of them pizzers?'

Conversation witnessed by me in Iceland a while ago.

Old Lady No. 1. I see they've got them Banoffee pies on offer again.

Old Lady No. 2. Oh I can't eat them, they make me quite nauseating.

Conversation heard between two old ladies on a bus about 20 years ago:

Ethel "How are you Lou?"

Lou "Oh I haven't been at all well. The doctor sent me for a brain scan"

Ethel "Oh dear! Did they find anything?"

Lou "No"

My mom has terrible trouble with the word 'salivate'. When she's hungry she'll say she's 'savillating at the thought of some dinner'.

My auntie told me the doctor was sending her for an anagram!

An old lady friend of mine (with a great sense of humour) was sent for a brain scan and was told they couldn't find anything wrong. She told me that her son was demanding a second opinion!

I might send my nan for one, but I'm not sure the equipment could take it...

They're lovely though, old folk, aint they?

smurfboy · « **Reply #28 on:** January 19, 2006, 08:50:30 pm »

Barmy but lovely.

Today I rang the bank to pay my visa from my debit account and my mam said if she was me she wouldn't give the bank her visa details.
