Dear boy, you really need to come up with some new material...
Grandpa, as long as you keep making new silly statements, I have all the new material I need.  :bowler:

Besides, I'm not Clive Dunn... :P

This "phone hacking" basically involves you knowing someone's mobile phone number and guessing their voicemail password. It's usually still set to the carrier's default, which is usually something like 1111. Did you know you can dial into your voicemail from anywhere? No, why would you, it's a MOBILE phone right? Find out how to do it and disable it or reset your password.

Actually, I've never owned a mobile and yet I did know that...does that make me odd?

No, it's your fascination with anime that makes you odd.

Sloppy word choice on my part; having just checked it appears my extended family uses the term more extensively than is actually correct. The Scots in question are related by marriage to me via two sisters of my grandmother. My family have lived within a few miles of Corby (and it's Scottish ex-steelworkers) for over a century.

I know they drink a lot more than me; the curling I'm not so sure about.

You should try playing the real thing some time. :scots:  It's one of the cheapest sports going in terms of ice time and equipment - all you need is a broom and a peice of teflon.

I'd love to take up curling. The nearest club is over an hour away though.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

The Guardian says James Murdoch and others could end up being prosecuted in the US as well. News of the World is apparently owned by US listed News Corp. If the allegations of bribing police officers for leads are true, that would mean News Corp have violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
