I LAUGHED when former Wigan colleague Geoff Shryhane revealed he was going dotty trying to use the TV remote control as a mobile phone.
I could just imagine him doing it, the fool.
Then blow me if I didn't go and do something similar.
I arrived home at 6pm to the wrath of the afternoon TV watcher whose viewing had been spoiled.
The Sky box hoofer-doofer was nowhere to be found and he had missed his programmes.
Well I was adamant I hadn't had it. However, when I dug through my portmanteau of a handbag there it was -- picked up off the coffee table instead of my outdated and little used phone.
Do we all get dafter as we get older, or is it just time I bought some glasses I can see through?
