mjmooney Posted August 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2019 On a less macabre note... Patterns. When my wife married me, she became Mrs MOONEY. One of her two sisters married a feller called MALTBY (also six letters, also starts with M and ends with Y. Also a Villa fan). Her other sister married a POOLEY (also six letters, with a double-O, and ends EY). One of our daughters married a MAYBURY (seven letters, unfortunately, but still starts with M and ends with Y). Meaningless, but it intrigues me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 7 years ago my sister in law posted on FB a picture of her miscarried daughter. In my politest terms I said for **** sake, I don't need to see that. We fell out for 5 years off the back of that. I appreciate the reasons why but at best it's a dead baby. Why share anything, person or animal that is dead. Not one single person will get any enjoyment of any kind out of it. I can't fathom it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it would be like me having a photo shoot with my dad's dead body after he died. It's not that I don't understand it's a tragedy and they loved the baby even though it hadn't been born and everything. I get that. I have relatives who have had funerals for miscarried babies and I understand that. But photos with the dead foetus to me is very very strange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Just to add to my comment as I don't want to sound uncaring. It is obviously a horrible situation but as @Stevo985 said it is weird to post it on facebook. Keep it private! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I stress. It would be devastating, heartbreaking and absolutely awful. No question. But pictures to show this are never needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 16, 2019 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2019 I was tempted to post a photo on here to show you how freaky it is, but I don't want to seem like I'm taking the piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen quite a few corpses thanks to a stint in Kosovo in the late 90's and many of them were kids. That stuff stays with you believe me and it was the reason I chose not to see any of the cadavers of my parents or 4 grandparents in the years after . I want to remember them alive and all my siblings regret viewing them now, despite my warnings. To put something like that on FB just astounds me and I have a pitch black sense of humour. It's genuinely horrifying. Edited August 16, 2019 by Brumerican Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 This might be Kenneth Williams territory but my initials are PD, at school my best mates initials were DB and JC. We revelled in the run of initials BCD and the same number of letters between D, J and P. No one wanted to be our friend apart from someone with the initials MF. We told him to do one as it wouldn't fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I worked with a couple of people with the surnames of Fawcett and Legett and thought they'd make a good couple of rapists. I even thought about writing a sitcom about them but don't have much talent for that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzap24 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I’ll be glad when the kids are back at school and the day trippers/holiday-makers are off the bleeding motorways again. Shocking standard of driving on the M5. There needs to be a Motorway test for all drivers. Speed cameras everywhere, but who’s doing something about the cars packed with pillows blocking their rear view and doing 60mph in the outside lane? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
