I tend not to get interrupted - though it i annoying when it happens. But my grandmother, who calls every day, has a remarkable, uncanny, record-setting capacity to talk at great length on no subject whatsoever. Last week I received a rundown on the saga of the missing prescriptions (Turned out they were in the *Shock* Doctor's office.). It took her a good seven minutes to say, in essence, 'I couldn't find my prescriptions so I called the stores I had been in, and then called the doctor, and sorted it out.'

I love her to bits, but dear Lord, does she talk.
