I was reading this through last night when I had a sudden idea for a story. Suppose - just suppose - elderly ladies like me suddenly start rising from their graves. No, I don't know why either - just go with it. Not only are all their faculties miraculously restored - including some they never had in the first place - but now they are ... frisky. Undead and up for it. No more being ignored by the world. No more having tech explained to them by twelve year olds in the O2 shop. No one and nothing will be safe! Hugh Jackman has had to go into hiding! The world cowers beneath our - sorry, THEIR - sensibly shod feet. Grey Grannies rule! I feel a David Sands story coming on.

For the celts among us I must demand that we have care of you the night before the funeral. You will have the place of honour as we all gather round to tell of your greatness of spirit, your prowess in writing and your sheer animal magnetism that was as a roaring flame to the moths that are Cavil and Damon et al. We will drink the place dry in your memory, we will sing songs of great woe, we will weep till those who look upon us fear the earth will flood. But most importantly we will make damn sure you're late for your funeral......
