Yesterday I was in the bank in a queue. I was standing behind two women and my ears pricked up when they mentioned the name of someone I know slightly who has just died. He was a ne'er do well and the women went through his shortcomings as a useless father, someone who has never worked in his life, the amount of time he spent in the pub, the amount of time he spent in the bookies and his habit of using his wife as an occasional punchbag. They then moved on to the subject of death and funerals in general and one of the women came out with the comment "I can't be doing with people who speak ill of the dead."
Priceless!
