SlipperyP Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 25 minutes ago, Mr. Alli said: Aye. I'm going to have to find somebody to sit down with and discuss my options with. I believe there is only 2 option at the moment in Scotland. Burnt or buried. I recommend the burny one...the banks of the Tay (at least on one side) will be 10 deep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine (whose grandfather owns one of the biggest funeral directors) has numerous fields where the Chinese community cross his palm and then burn their dead there. Quite a nice wee side line tbh. I might just see if he'll let my pisscan mates do the same for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 7 hours ago, Mr. Alli said: Is it worthwhile getting a funeral plan at 35 years old? As was said in the funerals thread, total waste of time and money. All Dundee jokes aside, £20/month into a separate savings account / Stocks and Shares ISA for 35 years yields you £8400 before accounting for any growth. Can I be mentioned in your will? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I intend to avoid funeral costs by living forever. I’ve been told that life will become increasingly boring and demoralising but having watched every United game this season I think I am well prepared. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I'm thinking of a prominent pillbox somewhere in Scotland that's located between the two roads at a fork in the road. Anyone know exactly where it is (there may be more than one example)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money you put in isn't protected so if the firm goes bust the folk planting you will have to pay. Martin Lewis was going on about this before Ukraine kicked off so the campaign to tighten up the regulations seems to have quieted down. Probably best just putting some cash aside in your will or a savings account. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spam musubi is like sushi but with a big fuckoff bit of spam instead of fish Big throughout the Pacific Islands, apparently - something to do with the American soldiers having so much of it in their rations during the Second World War that they gave it away to the locals. IIRC, Guam has the highest rate of obesity in the world (something mental like 96%), and it's attributed to their love of Spam. Anyway, in news not related to fatty meatstuffs, I was in the vicinity of a television showing The Chase (or possibly Tipping Point) last week, and overheard a question along the lines of, "in the computer game Curse of Sherwood, who was the character controlled by the player?" Considering Curse of Sherwood is a ZX Spectrum game from the mid-Eighties, and it was fairly obscure at the time, I thought I must have misheard but the answer was "Friar Tuck" which (as @Melanius Mullarkay will know) is correct. Did anyone else see that episode? Do these shows chuck in bizarre questions like that regularly, just for a laugh? Edit: it was The Chase - they slipped it in during the opening barrage of questions when the contestant's establishing how much money they're playing for. Pretty sure it was an old episode on Challenge. Edited November 13, 2022 by BFTD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
