Did you know that dog owners earn more money and have better sex lives than cat owners? It was in the papers so it must be true.

Pleased to report that not only did the old crate pass the MOT, I got them to pump its tyres up and check the oil and water for nuffin by doing my daft blonde bimbo act. I've perfected it a little too well over the years. Talking of the windscreen wash water, I actually said "How does it get in there? Cos I never put any in"

![]() Well that's the first day of funeral over, the viewing in the funeral home, meeting sympathisers, and the removal to the church for tomorrow's mass and burial. It is de rigeur to comment on the corpse's appearance ("she looks lovely, god bless her") and to enquire of the principal female mourner the reason for the demise ("she broke her hip three weeks ago, and she didn't do any good after that") whilst in the background the elderly men discuss the lambing. It is priceless, and bonds the community in a beautiful way. |

My close friend has told me so many tales of how things go in rural Ireland. It's like a step back in time in many ways! Apparently even until recent times it was often the done thing to have the body available to view on the dining table of their own home, and literally everyone in the village [and surrounding villages] would come to pay their respects and drink gallons of tea [and talk about rural matters for hours]. Then the bottle of Irish whiskey would come out and be passed round the teacups...."Sure you'll have a drop of milk in it"
![]() Yes twass, still applies so much. A few years ago mr tk's mum was laid out on our table

Glad it all went well and hopefully no more funerals for you for a good long time.
IDS has quit!!! *dances round the thread* ![]() ![]() Had a conversation with mr tk en route to meal, 5,000 years ago the people would have been doing much the same, the early christians sneaked all their 'new' lore into it. New calf tonight

Thanks twass, though as good rural citizens it works out roughly 1 a week usually! Very Viking like, everyone gathering, but unless they are blood relatives you are not expected to attend every element.

Can only think of one undertaker in possibly three counties who is not a publican. And he is opening a massive glamping site, importing London buses and an aeroplane
