I knew this thread would die.

CrazyChicken · 27/01/2012 19:08

God I'd hate that. I feel sorry for your friend.

TakeYourScaffoldingWithYou · 27/01/2012 19:13

Hurrah, the dead thread has arisen. Run away it could be a metaphor for our housing issues.

CrazyChicken God would n't mind he loves the good dead, as for the others they can rot in hell.

God. Are people that stupid? I hope you don't live anywhere near me. Funeral directors can only exist in the back of beyon. Thicko

Well done Charlene.
Is she any happier?

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 27/01/2012 22:51

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
OP I have no idea what you expect from this thread, but many people have been sympathetic to your friend, others maybe less so.

And each time you've come on and been downright vile and aggressive.
TBH, it's down to her isn't it? Move or stay. Go and speak to the people at Attwell Afterlife (as I said, I Googled it and nothing came up. Surely a funeral parlour would have something on a website?

As it happens, I personally do believe in ghosts, but it wouldn't bother me living near a funeral parlour. I've been back to a holiday lodge that I am convinced is haunted ( long story I've told it before so I won't bother again)

You've been given alot of advice on here, it's down to you now.

Has your friend gone back home yet?

The house I have been offered is next door to the cemetery. The housing Association women has said she has been trying to find tenants for it for months and as soon as she says how close it is to the cemetery they all turn it down Confused . I would rather live there then where I live now.

The dead can't hurt you. The dead people are some other persons family/friend will most likely will be missed and loved

cakeismysaviour · 27/01/2012 23:24

Good for you Charlene, why not cheer her up with a nice girls night in? Wine, takeaway, chocolate and a nice DVD. I can recommend the Sixth Sense. :)

charleneanna · 27/01/2012 23:50

What about that Hammer House of Horror film with Julia Foster where the bodies disappear from the morgue and end up being eaten in some bizzarre annual get together to celebrate the survivors of a plane crash who turned cannibal to survive?

F**K me, I just realised I did that whole paragraph in one sentence. Getting that from the OP Grin

From you OP, I consider that a great compliment. :)

cakeismysaviour · 28/01/2012 00:03

70isalimit - Sounds excellent. Wink

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 28/01/2012 00:04

sticks and stones, sticks and stones.

In the great scheme of things:
Peple are ill, People are dying.People are losing their jobs,People are losing their homes.

Your friend ( or dare I say, it might be you ) has a flat. It's above a Funeral Parlour. Boo Fucking Hoo.

I lived in Glasgow next to a very notorious street where all the drug dealers hung out. I was a studant. I didn't have alot of choice. I was at more risk from drug dealers than your friend is from corpses.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. But you are still extremely rude.

Bye now!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 28/01/2012 00:06

That was directed at charlene BTW,

Disclaimer: not all the drug dealers lived outside my flat. Glasgow is a big place. Wink

Does any one remember Randell and Hopkirk (deceased) I used to love that!!

ComposHat · 28/01/2012 00:39

Perhaps the OP's mate will strike lucky and she'll have a hunky Patrick Swayze ghost.

She hasn't got a Potter's wheel has she?

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 28/01/2012 10:19

Hasnt got all day to sit about on MN people.
Has got all day to sit about calming her friend down.

Know what I think is a more productive use of time.

backpack glad you have had an offer of a new home. I wouldnt mind living next to a cemetary. I like them. Beautiful places, full of love and history.
Nice for wildlife too not the zombie kind

BelleDameSansMerci · 28/01/2012 10:21

Charlene - are you 'in character' again? Grin
