What is both dead and alive?

An uncle being escorted to the post office by his nephew who apparently didn’t know “he was dead”

Worst excuse ever

Oh my God, that reads like a piss take. Can’t believe it’s an actual real story. My favourite bit is when he says people are prejudging him because he defrauded his aunt in the past. What a tool.

“Yeah I know I did it to my aunt but that doesn’t mean I’ll do it to my uncle! God everyone’s so judgy these days”

Declan, 40, needs to become Boris Johnson's Excuse-Writer-In-Chief.

One of Declan's other excuses, apart from claiming not to know that his deceased relative was in fact dead as he propped him up at the post office counter is that he, Declan, is 'not a young fella' any more. I think that one has some mileage in it for Johnson.

This would be absolutely hysterical if it wasn’t for the shocking disrespect for the dead man. I mean, how did they think they’re get away with it, just how?

He says he's not cuckoo, but he certainly sounds like he's cuckoo.

Best bit...
the 40-year-old was one of two men propping up Mr Doyle’s (dead) body up against the counter when an employee became suspicious and asked if the man was unwell.

😂😂😂

Yet when they got asked if he was unwell, the dropped him to the floor claiming a heart attack.

Now that doesn’t sound suspicious at all

This is horrific. How debased can anyone be? This was a family member!

DropYourSword · 25/01/2022 09:49

"Am I cuckoo. AM I CUCKOO?!"

Er, yeah mate, you are!

According to the Mail Online, Declan carried his uncle's coffin at the funeral with five other men, although Declan was the only one sporting a black eye after being thumped by an 'angry local'.

Declan even obligingly slipped his mask down for the photographer(s). But he's not a cuckoo, oh no. It's all been a terrible misunderstanding.
