And if we're not being vulgar we'd say a metric Fton of st*ff. But then again, we might not. At 82/1.366 my memory ain't as good as it used to be.

When Spitting Image was on air originally, The Queen Mum used to regularly pop and say "I'm 92 you know!" Which has now irreversibly changed to a similar number in my head, but this was the only clip I could find on youtube of her on that "meme"

I miss it. Whilst looking for this, I found some of the recent revival which I had been so excited about because the outgoing imPOTUS lends himself so well to the genre..... but I found his character quite lame I get that it's hard to pick a trait and exaggerate it even further but.... nothing like Thatcher, Major and Tebbit. and the vegetables....
