haven't seen him this happy since he found out they were showing Columbo re-runs on Channel 5.

Personally I feel nothing other than a small amount of bile in the back of my throat every time someone eulogises over her. Can understand some of the happiness though, my dad went hungry so they could give food the the striking miners who lived down the road even though his dad was dying of asbestosis at the time and he was the only one working. He's been "waiting to wave that cow off into oblivion" for the better part of 30 years and I can't say I'd begrudge him that chance.
