Embarrassing things your grandparents say?
Discussion
We were watching the athletics on the telly with grandparents earlier when the Ethiopian girl won the 10,000 metres. My grandfather turns to me and says, I thought they were all starving in Ethiopia, to which my grandmum interrupts, yes but I bet she`s always first at the aid stations.

You can't beat grandparents can you. Sadly mine have moved on to a higher existence, no doubt giving everyone else a hard time. I hope I am a 'character' when and if I get there. 
Whilst out to lunch with my old grandpops a rather attractive waitress comes over to take our order. As she leaves he says
“Hasn’t that girl got lovely t
s”
To which she turn round and smiled and as she turns to leave
“And a nice ae”
The food was ok
On another occasion whilst in the pub with him he was listening to some low life new age type bragging about how much he had blagged of the state to fuel his loafing
“Son, your not worth tuppence hapeny’s worth of shit and if you don’t fk off out of this pub in the next thirty seconds you’ll be telling that to the bloody fairies”

Grandmother (90), whilst my uncle and I were watching TV, out of the blue (best read with a Scottish accent).
Grandmother:
"Ye ken we didnae hae any other entertainment back then, nay televeesions and such. All we could dae was make babies and we did that a lot I can tell you..."
Uncle:
"We'll hae no more blaether oot o' you the noo. The poor lad's going to hae t' visit one o' they heed doctors when he goes hame jus tae get that vision oot o' his heed."

Reminds me of the missus' mother giving me driving directions...
Daft old crone: Turn left at that bollock
Me: Eh?
DOC: Left. There. At the bollock.
Me: What are you banging on about?
DOC: Left. THERE. At the bollock. Oh, you've missed it. Youth of today, what do you see in him, etc etc...
Bollock, bollard, it's all the same to some
