Bully Brief

That’s Not The Right Movie Role, Grandpa

A cinema in England which shows classic films for pensioners has warned elderly customers about "unacceptable and juvenile" behaviour. The Odeon, in Leicester, says pensioners have been threatening, pushing, poking, bullying, harassing and intimidating staff, saving seats for friends and queue jumping.

FOOTNOTE: Farewell, Leicester swear.

Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

It sounds so coarse and silly
When you're crude and do not care
It's goodbye, Piccadilly
And farewell, Leicester swear

Ball Park Figure

Farewell Leicester Swear

A row has erupted in Leicester over whether a new four-metre, $45,000 statue should honour former World Cup soccer star Gary Lineker or the late Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi. Leicester council is set to approve the Gandhi statue in a mainly Asian area of the city. But protesters say Gandhi has "no connection" to English culture and set up a petition for the statue to honour local hero Lineker instead. The 47-year-old TV football host played for Leicester and England and advertises the city's Walkers crisps.

FOOTNOTE: Like taking Gandhi from a baby.
