    I was wondering what we'd get to that.

    My concern is with family living next door, if the old lady was very attached to the place, they might ask your permission to bury her in the garden!

    Green burials are all the rage these days - you don't even need a proper coffin ... a cardboard box or even a bag for life might be enough!

    Just watch out Fifi doesn't unearth the dead dog in the garden. It's rather large and will be mouldering nicely by now.

    That would be rather worrying as Fifi appears to be the OP's partner/wife/girlfriend:eek:

    Whatever floats your boat ... Fifi may want to dig a pond, and we all know where that can lead!

    Always great to see that a stressed out "situation" doesn't stop people signing up to a forum to tell us all about the problems.

    Similar thing happened to me, I got run over by an OAP on an out of control segway, ambulance turned up but hit a milk float and a donkey and burst into flames (the ambulance not the donkey), meanwhile I was watching all this with my broken leg at the side of the road.....luckily my iphone allowed me to join this forum and keep everyone up to date of the events.

    Ok, so let's get this story really get started......

    The original thread was never funny to begin with, this is even less so. Reported.

    Better writing by far than any of the tripe spouted by you crashaholics all year. :rotfl:

    It's Xmas....

    Borrow a sense of humour for the season and stop being so miserable.:D
