I remember once watching the marvellous comedian Dave Allen mimicking his children scouring the fridge for food.

Like little Nearnderthals he told how they flung open the fridge door with the barely intelligible chant of "anythingdecentinere" usually following by the wail of "theresnevereanythingdecentinthebloodyfridge".

I laughed along with my favourie Irish comic, little knowing that his impression would come back to haunt me.

Many years ago I watched the brilliant Dave Allen describe in one of his superb sit down monologues how his children spoke a different language.

I didn't have kids at the time but laughed at his excellent understated delivery...but I'm not laughing now.
