[News] RIP Dave’s Nan

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Nor did I - Conway don't have it anymore, so it could be an RIP from that perspective?

They should still have the first one, I’m doing the second one.

Edit: just looked, there’s only one now.

I miss it for the ease and fun-factor.

Maybe we should be like the BBC and have the obituary ready before the 60 thunders along New Church Road for it's last hurrah.

 

[Albion my Albion]

CNN does many obituary pieces on well known people that are still alive. When they do die they get out the footage and research done before the death and add something to the story about how that well known person died and run the story. Can you imagine what the segment on the Trump obituary story looks like.

Hey, bit of respect please - can we keep this thread to Dave’s nan? She’d be mortified (well, I suppose she is, technically) to be sidelined by bus nostalgia. Especially considering that time on the top deck of an eastbound 2 (she liked the gee-gees) when her glass eye popped out and fell on the floor. She was traumatised, as was the beagle that swallowed the thing when it trundled past its nose. Dave’s nan had to follow the dog around the park the next morning to get her eye back. RIP Dave’s nan (and RIP the beagle - should there be a separate thread? It passed away peacefully in its sleep back in ‘94 or ‘95 as I recall, seems like yesterday though).

I hope her burial goes better than her husband’s (the inventor of the USB port). When they tried to lower his coffin into the grave it wouldn’t fit, so they tried to rotate it the other way round and it went in nicely.

I love this changed into bus pedantry. Never change NSC. Never change.

The internet credits Indian-American computer architect Ajay Bhatt as the inventor of the USB.

A further testament to the woman and her cultural open-mindedness.

 

[Hugo Rune]

I can now share some confidential information about the forthcoming ceremony that I hope folk will keep to themselves.

Wayne Rooney will be attending the funeral. As to his connection with Dave’s Nan, your guess is a good as mine.

 

[Triggaaar]

Further tributes have been pouring in from her local Spoons where she was particularly partial to their Curry Club offering. RIP garlic nan

Nan is brown bread

 

[joydivisionovengloves]

She’d been in a Korma for so long it was actually a blessing

That Sir, is fine work

I think this clears it up. She would have caught the 2 from Portslade Station. Perhaps this is where GB was getting confused.

Dave's Nan rarely got her number 1s and number 2s confused. Although later in life one got the impression that she was a walking number 1 or 2, if the comments of those who took her empty seat on bus were concerned

Not only that, but she was sadly incontinent.

No, I'm pretty sure she only ever lived in the UK

I stand corrected, said the man in the orthopaedic shoes.

The chiropodist was a bloke from the Caribbean with a strange sense of humour, he used to laugh at defeat.
