Life with Daddy Shortlegs

This began as a tale of two gay men, a cat and an octogenarian. It's not a sitcom but I'm not entirely sure it's real life. As a couple we realised we had a choice: either write about life with the grumpy old dwarf and try to see the funny side or bump him off and put him in the skip outside next door. Since that time we have moved on ... 7 years later I came back to update things! So now there are two men, two dogs and a bungalow in Barrybados.

Lookey-Likeys

Betty may have borne a passing resemblance to Ronnie Corbett but then Daddy Shortlegs was a tad Harry Hill... Here he is in his younger days posing as the head of the 'Shut ya von Trapps'.

Rich on the far right is a tad Harry Potter also. The taped spectacles make a fashion statement but only if under caution and with a solicitor present. It's not everyone who can dress under PACE regulations but I bet his mother would have had an alibi for these outfits. She had a gadget that enabled her to cut their hair into these delightful page boy styles - I think it was a Tupperware bowl.

On closer inspection the tape turns out to be a scratch on the photograph so she may appeal for a retrial.
