- Howya Sandra, long time no see.
- Hey Bernie, hows tricks?
- Grand. Same shite different day. You know yourself. How’s Tony?
- Grand. Retired now. Getting on my nerves.
- Oh tell me about it.
- Oh is Jimmy retired too?
- Yeah. I started tai chi classes just to get out of the house.
- Tai chi? How’s that going for you?
- It’s not. I went once, wasn’t for me. Now I just meet Julie for breakfast, or coffee or lunch, anything to get away from Judge Bleedin’ Judy.
- Ah stop, does he still watch that everyday at 4.30? I remember you rushing home from work just to get the remote control before him.
- I wish it was only at 4.30. I didn’t realise how good I had it until he bought one of those dodgy box things for the telly.
- Oh we got one as well. Sure you wouldn’t know what to be watching there’s so many channels. There’s thousands of them. Remember when we only had two?
- Well, in our gaff we may as well only have one, since he found the Crime channel. Judge Judy, twenty four seven. I’ve a pain in me hoop listening to her. She’s only turned off for the news at 6.
- Have you no telly in the back room?
- I do, but I can still hear her. Jimmy refuses to get a hearing aid so it’s up at full volume. You can hear it from the top of the street.
- It’s no wonder you go out. I don’t blame you. At least my fella only watches the football. does Jimmy not watch it anymore?
- Oh he does surely, but that’s for the pub with his mates. It’s bliss when there’s a match or ten on. He’s gone for hours.
- We’re showing our age when we’re delighted to get the telly to ourselves for the night.
- I love it. Feet up, bottle of wine, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills , and no Judge Judy yakking from the other room.
- Happy days, Bernie. So, where you off to now?
- I’m going to buy myself a set of headphones. Jimmy’s staying in tonight.

My Dad’s 88 and has a hearing aid, but won’t wear it. At least it’s not Judge Judy when I go to his house, but I’m not into the sports and crime dramas and you’re right, you just can’t get away from it.
Headphones sound like a great idea.

Hilarious all of the way through but this had me laughing hard:
“Well, in our gaff we may as well only have one, since he found the Crime channel. Judge Judy, twenty four seven. I’ve a pain in me hoop listening to her. She’s only turned off for the news at 6.” Not sure what a pain in me hoop is but it sounds funny as hell.
