Pure schmultz, but if you don't have a bit of a grizzle, then you are

No he wouldn't.

He might have have had a heart attack, but not in front of his grand daughter. Dying is no excuse for ruining a little girl's Christmas

I have several friends who go/have gone to great lengths to avoid their grandchildren, including emigrating.

Melissa is now five foot seven and somewhere between eight and an half and ten stone of solid bloody muscle, she can pirouette herself up the bloody ladder to stuff the tree up the fairy's arse. My abilities as a Viking to throw a wench her weight over my shoulder and leg it for the longboats went up in smoke the weekend the stroke hit and NO amount of weightlifting is bringing it back. I can only just lift my non pedelec  bicycle onto the bike carrier and lifting the giant Lafree twist like I used to would not only kill me it would implode the cars rear window.

out of interest which store was that advertising I didn't recognise the brand

But yes that reminds me I haven't been to see my personal trainer this week

Oh it was lovely! It was a lovely sentiment of an ageing man who found the incentive to pull himself together for his dream of lifting his grandchild to finish the Xmas tree. It was beautifully crafted. Don't be so Bah Humbug! We could all learn from that.

Which Christmas ghost are you?

The ghost of let's set Scrooge's trousers on fire and watch the kids laugh

That was 3 minutes 39 seconds of my life wasted.

In real life he would have carked it the first time he lifted that weight.

No he wouldn't.

So no change there

[T00ts]

In real life he would have carked it the first time he lifted that weight.

Not at all. We only saw him drag it across the floor and then it cut so we don't have the time scale. He was obviously previously fit and knew how to build his training up.  The most interesting thing that they captured was the change of mind set. I thought it was very well done.
