    Yes, that could happen, but I am afraid the puppy is vegetarian. He loves the Linda McCartney sausages.

    Well, quick update, and because I think it will have some hilarity and because without the Clampetts in my life right now all I will have to look forward forward to is Mrs Js New Years Vegetarianism and endless packing and humping, I have authorised the camper thing.

    What I will be intreagued at is whether the coffin can remain overnight or whether it will be on a day release? I have never seena dead body before and part of me wants to pay my respects.

    Surely the corpse will begin to smell after a day or so? Or will it be embalmed ???

    Also make sure that the plastic sheet + puppy isn't at the top of the stairs again, we don't want a re-enactment of how Mrs Clampett fell down the stairs.

    However, when she was alive they were happy enough to let her sleep in a house with two complete strangers. Hmm. :huh:

  • I am not long home, just walking around in my Calvin Kleins well Matalan's Colin Klimes, and the doorbell goes.

    Mrs is in the bath getting prepped for our date night and so I answered it to an elderly man in a dark suit who appears to be from the Local funeral parlour.

    So now he is downstairs with a cup of tea with the Clampetts LAUGHING? I didnt realise coming to discuss coffins included a range of knock knock jokes...

    OMG:eek:

    Just nipped downstairs again to earwig and if I heard them right, they want a joint funeral service for the mum and dad. The funeral director asked when father died and it was September.

    He asked where the remains were and Mrs C, looking at me said "On the microwave"

    The FD asked how the funeral was carried out and Mrs C replied to the effect of "we didnt have one". The Co-op took him when he passed over and brought back the ashes two weeks later. Fathers wish was to have a joint funeral with Mum and he didnt want any expense spared.

    Pinch me - i think I am cancelling this years holiday to Devon. Weird people.
