Deek Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 A bit of black humour, I love it. (Black humour non PC, but tough) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7213734.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upthehill Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 What a funny story, maybe it will catch on? We could buy our graves, have our stones erected and save the hassle when we go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberjambo Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Saw it on the news. Had to be a Whitburn cemetary. At least the F.D. was from Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Caine Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Saw it on the news. Had to be a Whitburn cemetary. At least the F.D. was from Blackburn. For F D read F U D. The fact he is from Blackburn says it all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tane Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 If only the boy had a sense of humour... He should've taken a photo of himself next to it with a cheeky wee grin and the thumbs up. Now that's a photo to have hanging up on the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercrutch Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I know the guy was dying of cancer and all but he took the whole thing a bit tight did he not !!! Should he not be happy that he was still above ground when his gravestone was not !! I found it rather funny. Is that bad ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobellojambo1 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 There is one line in the story that sums it up for me. "the next thing I knew I was getting phone calls from people asking if I was dead or alive". Hate to think how the conversation went - "Hello, Blackburn 55 55 55, Andy speaking" "Hello Andy, are you dead" Big Celtic support in Blackburn, West Lothian I believe.

"the next thing I knew I was getting phone calls from people asking if I was dead or alive". Did his friends honestly think he would be in any fit state to answer the phone if he was already potted heid. Good point. If you thought someone was dead there is not much point giving them a call.

portobellojambo1 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Good point. If you thought someone was dead there is not much point giving them a call. Exactly. Can just imagine one of them sitting there saying to themselves "See Andy Lees died last night, I am going to give him a quick ring and see if he fancies popping out for a pint".
