I saw an old lady today buy a single can of Heineken from the Co-Op, and it made my heart melt.
A beer for the hubby, a sneaky bevvo on a warm summers day for herself, or a little something for her student grandson.
Hardly going to go far now though. I would have thrown it back on her face and told her to book her ideas up Grandma.
Love it when parents/ grand parents get you something you dont really need, or buy you something specially- but get it a little bit wrong.
Maybe once you mentioned you liked, or enjoyed once - and they then buy it in bulk, if it's on offer. One hot summer it took me 3 months to get through a 50 pack of powder chicken noodle soup.
On getting a new DVD in the house,when they first come out, me mam bought me a blank DVD so " you can tape your favorite programmes off the the telly."
Took alot of explaining as to the where and what fors of why this wouldn't work. Which fell on deaf ears as me old lady still calls the internet the email; as in "get on that 'thee'mail"
More of Ma Buggerluggs to come soon. GODLOVETHATWOMAN

Cool (ish) Dude
I enjoy walking through town early in the morning me.
There's the busy bussiness man - probably knocking off his receptionist, suited ladies in trainers with heels in a carrier bag - with good handles obviously. Old ladies with trollies getting their big shop before it gets all busy and their in danger of getting knocked over or mugged by scallies yet to wake. Tramps swigging super strength lager or supping the clear cider variety, and the wierdos who must all wake up at the same time due to some in built wierdo chip inserted at birth.
There's this one dude i pass most mornings if I'm lucky. A pretty old fella who wears some really cool vinatge threads. Proper smart. Cords, vintage trainers, anorak - dead working the retro look.
Everytime i see him i think 'go on fella'.
Then i realise that, on closer inspection ( I don't stop him in the street or anything, but he's walking slowly enough for me to have a good gander), that they are most probably his old clothes and he's a not right.
It's a sad tale, and it gets me everytime.
His kids are gonna get quite a wardrobe though, when he pops his clogs.
