Haha. Do tell! I've no qualms with giving mine to the trusted few because I have an 8 hour time difference and a pricey long distance call as barriers. You'd have to be drunk to make the call! *Shows great self restraint by not pointing finger and laughing at S4*

It's quite difficult isn't it. I try my best, but sometimes... i am weak.

It doesn't really hurt but i can't bend it down or straighten it up. My mum won't be up for 2 hours so i have a sock full of ice wraped round it.

I wasn't going to post this, but I'm still outraged by it, so I'm going to.

As a bit of background information, my Grandad's current wife is not my Granny; my Granny died when I was three (and I am extremely grateful to still have memories of her) from cancer and my Grandad remarried a very nice lady who also died of cancer, so currently he's on his third wife.. and no one likes this one.

Anyway, as some of you know, I was at my Grandad's brother's funeral on Friday in Stratford. At Redditch crematorium (which, as crematoriums go, was brilliant actually), we were all looking at the flowers people had sent. My Grandad's wife came through and picked up a bunch, saying "I'm just taking this for my friend whose husband has died, I've asked Andy [the son of the man whose funeral it was] and he said it's fine!" My mum and I were just stunned; this plumbed new depths even for her. What kind of person asks the son of a dead man at his dad's funeral if she can take the flowers for another dead man? Would this woman really want those flowers, knowing that they're from someone else's funeral?

Disgusting.

Depends - if the other person had no flowers at theirs then yeah, I'd hate to see a grave/spot with absolutely no flowers on it. Something very sad about that.

One of my customers dies and we had to help pay for his funeral service (whip-round with the other customers) and he had 3 bunches of flowers on his bit. Very sad indeed.

However if there already were flowers on his grave then you're right and it's pretty sick.

She should have bought flowers herself though, not take someone else's.

Baby Yudster has found the Yudster Homestead toilet roll storage place. Every toilet roll in the house is now incorporated into a fabulous construction with towers and battlements and a brilliant drawbridge - I can't bring myself to deconstruct such a masterpiece.

But I really need to pee.........

Man's eternal struggle.

To Pee or not to Pee - that is the question.

You're absolutely right. Maybe I will just take the top of one of the towers, he might not notice.

My revision is annoying me today. It just seems so boring and pointless.

I went to a chaps funeral about 2 years ago, of the 10 people there 5 were Landlords (incl me) who he had known, and 4 were people who drank with him, and his Sister. It was a sad state of affairs.
