To think that DP should have gone to the police in the first place....(warning: graphic)

OK so DP has been doing some subcontracting work at my old uni. With his friend who i didn't think he had worked with for years. Anyway, it turns out they fell out with the contractor and like the petty buggers that they are, went back and dug up one of the paths that they lay.This was back in the summer. The university is set in woodlands and there are lots of winding, out of the way, paths. He TOLD me this path was out of the way.

Anyway, in typical DP fashion, he dithers and procrastinates and finally comes clean to me that they uncovered a bit of a problem. So i go along to his garage (the garage he gave up about 5 years ago Hmm). The concrete mixer that he hired 5 years ago was still there ffs, turns out he is still paying for it (they call him mr mixer at the hire place, now i know why!) . So DP hands me a carrier bag and what is inside? A fucking severed head Shock, quite well preserved but he insists it was dug up at the path site. He has kept it in the garage, along with the cement mixer (tbh im more angry about this than the head, we can't afford to keep paying for hire on something that we would have paid for ten times over by now).

Now he wants to re-bury the head and reinstate the path Hmm So like an idiot i go along with him, with the head in a carrier bag ffs, back to my old uni to find the path, which of course he can't remember where it is! For some reason, we ended up wandering around my old department, got lost and ended up in the tea room, which had moved, everyone turned and looked at me, i remember some of the professors but no one acknowledged my presence (bit hurtful but relieved not to be asked questions).

We finally find our way outside and everythings changed, there are straw hut bars all over the place and its like some sort of tropical celebration is taking place and there are students EVERYWHERE!

I'm getting worried by this point and thinking that we need to find somewhere else to hide the head. The path where DP found it lead right up to my old department and it seems that someone else has already recovered it.

We know our local woods (theres quite a lot of them) quite well from years of dog walking but I worry that a dog will dig up the head, its been in the back of DP's car, albeit in a plastic bag from the local bookshop (actually quite a thin bag so if you look hard you can make out a face Shock but if you're not expecting to see a severed head i doubt you'd realise) there is going to be forensic evidence isn't there?

I should also like to know, just out of curiosity Hmm who the head belonged to - as a coincidence, when we were walking through the party area (all the tropical bars) i heard on the radio that corpse of a prince was found about 50 miles away - it didn't mention that it was headless but really....it HAS to be the body doesn't it?

I cannot understand why DP didn't just call the police in the first instance, because now we are fucked. I want him to go to the police and explain everything and think that it would be the correct thing to do. I think i managed to persuade him.

I was in bed this morning getting this all straight in my head when DD came in and woke me up.....................Wink

I had to write it down, just to try and straighten it out in my head, they say you should do that at the first opportunity don't they, or you forget things, its all getting vaguer by the minute

I was increasingly Shock until the end!

I have really vivid dreams too, regularly wake up in a temper because of something my husband has 'done', or wake up exhausted due to spending all night running away from pursuers.

The head in a bag is Confused though - maybe you should go to the rozzers with your psychic hunch?!

DropYourSword · 30/12/2014 11:46

Got to a fucking severed head and snorted with laughter.

Read through some responses on here and shaking my head in despair that anyone anyone would think this is actually real.

For everyone whinging that this is a time waste, it amused me!

WilsonWilsonWoman · 30/12/2014 11:49

Hilarious that the people who feel their time has been wasted reading it, are now wasting their time informing Op that their time has been wasted. Phew. I loved the story! Grin

CakeAndWineAreAFoodGroup · 30/12/2014 11:50

Brilliant. I had an odd dream too but mine was a definite mix of The Fall, my old childhood street and too much Stilton. Plus Trevor Jordache from Brookside was alive and cutting out paper shapes in my FIL's kitchen.

I must buy some more Stilton.

OMG you had a Cheese Dream.

ArabellaStrange · 30/12/2014 11:55

I love other peoples strange dreams, makes me feel better about my own weirdness!
Really really enjoyed this one, didn't for one moment believe that it was describing something that actually happened.

WutheringFrights · 30/12/2014 11:56

And if it's weird dreams you're after I posted this on another thread last week...

A couple of weeks ago DD(3) told me she'd had a dream.
'I was in bed at Grannys house in mummy and daddy's room, someone called me and I woke up and flew downstairs really fast like a bird and out the door and into the sky, really higher and higher and I said no and then I woke up in my bed!'

Perfectly normal dream.

My dad died when DD was 10 months old. The night he died we were all sleeping in the spare room (me, DH and DD), directly above the room my dad was in. My mum came upstairs to ask me if I wanted to be with dad as he passed just as I woke from that dream, the very same dream that DD told me about over two years later.
I asked her to repeat it, she did, it was exactly the same dream. I asked her when she had dreamt it and she said ages ago mummy, when I was a baby...

Spanglecrab · 30/12/2014 12:00

I really enjoyed it! I also enjoyed all the posters who missed the fact it was a dream. I fucking loved the posters who having failed to notice it was a dream then tried to pretend they were pissed off about having their time wasted as cover for feeling a bit silly. 10/10! Smile

kungfupannda · 30/12/2014 12:06

I had a very naughty, very detailed dream about Benedict Cumberbatch in his Sherlock persona the other night.

Still getting hot flushes 2 days later...

AgentZigzag · 30/12/2014 12:07

Grin at people taking time to write a post saying how incensed they are at the OP wasting their time.

I had a dream last week that I was at the bottom of our stairs looking up at a man stood at the top of them who'd got in through the loft hatch.

I asked him WTF he thought he was doing in my house and the way he nonchalantly shrugged made it clear he didn't care what I thought and was planning on doing something Really Bad.

The DDs were in the living room to my right and as I was waking up I was thinking that if I went into the kitchen to my left to get a knife it'd give the man a chance to get to my DDs, and if I tried to get the DDs out of the front door behind me that I couldn't do it without giving him time to get down the stairs. In the end I plumped for telling them to open the living room window and climb out.

What made it even more sinister is that the man was Paul Fucking Chuckle!! from the Chuckle Brothers

I've never even watched the fucking program.

hotfuzzra · 30/12/2014 12:27

AgentZigzag that's comedy gold, I just laughed so loudly (shaky shoulders and everything!) that I woke my sleeping baby! The chuckle brothers are fairly horrifying:

OP brilliant thread. I got to the severed head and thought WTF especially when you went along with burying it again... Brilliant!
comedycentral · 30/12/2014 12:32

Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin at the people that didn't read the bit where the OP says it was a dream.

kali110 · 30/12/2014 12:47

Lol that was good! I also have really weird dreams, i always have done.
I often wake up pissed off with something dp has done in my dream

Since my last post, bits of my dream from last night came to me. Some of it involved Brad Pitt from his Thelma and Louise days...

Shockers · 30/12/2014 13:23

The season of cheese & crackers for supper is upon us!

I read it in the same way that I watch murder dramas... thinking, 'Why on earth don't you take it to the police???'
But then I too was tipped off by the straw hut bars... although I thought they were a fun twist.

I've had a couple of weird dreams too since we got the cheese & crackers out.

Last night I was helping DH to conceal his newly discovered status as a gay man from the bossy lady in the blouse shop (who we both knew would be very cross about it!).

I took the opportunity to choose a new blouse. It was wine coloured silk with a mustard hood (Xmas Confused) and a scarf shot through with gold thread. We had a very long conversation about its suitability for many occasions, whilst DH sneaked out of the flat above the shop where he had spent the night with his new lover (who I thought was lovely and would make a terrific addition to our happy family).

That was Brie and a blue cheese; I might try something else for tonight Xmas Grin.

Wake up...wake up!!

Rednosedevdil · 30/12/2014 14:16

The Cement mixer is the key.

It's symbolic of your mixed up feelings. Or not.

ItsAllKickingOffPru · 30/12/2014 14:33

You should pitch this to the BBC. Maybe they'll film it instead of that fucking awful Death In Paradise that they inexplicably keep re-commissioning.

MewlingQuim · 30/12/2014 14:46

Sounds like you are fed up with having to sort out your DHs problems (cement mixers, severed heads etc)

Don't worry you'llbe back at school next week and less likely to be bored! Grin

Well that will teach me for not reading the end GrinShock

@pensioner
The secret service can not comment on procedure.

I just had to google it as I didn't know myself, have seen it many times last few days on here.

SilverShins · 30/12/2014 15:05

Grin at OP. Confused at angry replies.
