For those that didn't see it last year, Bernard Jordan was the WW2 veteran that 'absconded' from his care home to attend the D-Day ceremonies in France. Made his way there and back on his own, returning to a heroes welcome at his care home. Thoughts are with his wife who still lives there.

Don't make old people mad... we don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off.

I just wish we could bring that generation back... but our young boys and girls are doing the same, albeit in different circumstances, and I thank them and hope they return to their families. What a bl**dy world we live in.
