Why the hell would a 78 year old man want to be spending his valuable time writing a document?

He won't be writing it. He'll be taking trips, eating free meals, drinking free wine and will get a blank cheque for the launderette.

And vouched for his honesty and integrity :greengrin

I think the committee should be told.

[Since452]

At 78 years old I'd rather be tending to my hydrangeas while sipping on red wine in peace

[HoboHarry]

My grandad at the age of 78 couldn't even be trusted with the remote for the telly. Not sure I would trust this character any differently......

If Foulkes is writing any kind of document whilst in Europe, let’s hope it’s his Dignitas application form !

They must be copying the Yanks with their candidates for the upcoming election (74 and 77 years old).

Depends where your threshold for banter sits, I thought it was funny.
Half past three.

[Keith_M]

Here's an interesting wee quote from Lord Pishybreeks

"I brought in Vladimir Romanov and I am very much regretting that now," said Foulkes

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2005/nov/01/newsstory.hearts


Obviously a great judge of character.

[Baader]

The only document slavering auld Doad relishes working on is his expenses claim.

Take Hearts out of it and he is one of these double standard politicians who cannot be trusted.In it for himself big time and an establishment figure.Stands for everything i dislike of politicians irrespective of party.

[Lincoln Green]

Will Lord Pishy Breeks be able to stay awake long enough to sign his expense form nevermind any sort of report?

Agreed, but it does help that with that look and demeanor he really could only ever be a jambo.
