Many people here have had great fun at his expense, but how long do you continue to rake over coals before it becomes boring?

You haven't been round here long, it'll take about 2-3 years before people forget it. It may even become part of PH legend, like the WHoCT and caudence clutching

I missed those two... Got any links handy?
Glovebox/seats down is already the stuff of legends IMHO!

I know somebody who thinks we get heavier when we die. "Otherwise why would there need to be 4 people to carry the coffin, even when it's only a small person's body inside?"

I suppose it would also explain why hearses go so slowly when there's a body inside

I was a pall bearer @ my grans funeral where we had six (popular women and we all wanted to do it).

Anywho we balls it up completely. I'm 6'3 and my slighty shorter brother and me took the front. Two giants (OK 6'7) took the back and two six footers took the middle. Oh dear, what a kerfuffle!

My brother had a bad back and was avoiding even trying to get a shoulder on and the guys in the middle were just decoration. So half the weight was on my left shoulder...and it's quite a sharp edge!
Gran was about 7 stone but the bloody coffin was made of cryptonite or something.

Next thing I notice (through the pain) is that all the funeral directors helpers have 'done one' ie hid in the chapel pissing their sides. The main man was trying to keep a straight face.....as he stage whispered to us...'lads......you're going to have to duck to get through the door'

Oh how we laughed as we limbo danced through the door.

People came up to console me since I was obviously holding back the tears....I can hardly tell them it's the pain from having that coffin cutting a groove in my shoulder bone!




And last month my dad died and we had the grandkids pall bear in Cyprus (where he lived). It was all going well till we got to the cemetery. The hearse had a hatchback and the giant lads swung the coffin out and lofted it onto their shoulders

CLANG!

Smashing the coffin lid onto the hatchback with conviction.

Coffin had a big crease mark across the top - and there was an ex model there with a see though top just to perk us up further.

Carry on
