Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted November 26, 2018 She was a game old bird. I can't find the clip of her on HIGNFY where she said she couldn't understand why she had to sign a document at the age of around 90 saying she wasn't pregnant. Here's a clip from the same episode about after sex activities: RIP dear lady. @Sir Creep, a good innings is a cricketing term meaning achieved a high score and is used to describe someone who has lived to a great age. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
