Out of the mouths....

A coming programme on the telly will apparently look at the modern habit of using acronyms to describe our lifestyle - you know the sort of thing: SKI (Spending the Kids' Inheritance) DINKY (Double Income No Kids Yet) NEET (Not in Education Employment or Training). This reminded me of something my young grand-daughter said the other day. "I'm going to marry oil" she said. "Very sensible" I said "very profitable business, oil". "No" she said "OIL - Old, Ill and Loaded".
