Every week we ask you a question, and the best / funniest answers go in the newsletter.
As usual, there's a vote to choose the question for this week. Don't like the choice? Suggest a new question HERE
Coincidence: Tales of spooooky coincidences. (We last asked this in 2007, this repeat just happens to be a spooooky coincidence)
Dressing up: Tales of the old dressing up box, fancy dress parties and stealing panties off next door's line. Said too much.
Childhood toys: We threw our toys out of the pram when you didn't vote for this last week, so here it is again. And if anybody's got swaps of Gerry Gow and Frank Clark from the Panini Football 78 sticker album, I will be your sex slave
Good luck: Stories of outrageous good fortune
Vote closes around lunchtime

I'm not sure if this counts, so I've not compo'd it, but I recently attended my first open-casket funeral.
so I've not compo'd it but I recently attended my first open-casket funeral.I didn't take pictures (apparently that's frowned upon - PC gone mad if you ask me) so here's an illustration of the coffin lid which was propped against the wall nearby (details changed out of rispek an ting):

Absolutely true.
It conjures great images in my head: "Y'know, Caitlin, who was it who did your father's funeral? They did a lovely job, so they did - I'd like them to do mine when I go. What was their number again? Was it double 4-1, or double 3-1? Oh I can't remember - there's only one thing for it ..."
*dig, dig, dig*
"I KNEW it was double 3-1!"

In case the occupant has any complaints later on?
I don't know...
However, I recall a long time ago squiggly/wavy lines working on an excavation in Bloomsbury, that involved exhuming/relocating a number of 19th and 18th C coffins, and I dimly suspect some of those had Makers Plates on the ends, so it might not be a new thing in that industry!

You should have logged them and seen if any of them were still going.
I remember my grandad telling me "Beer, bread and burying" - they're the three industries to go into - they never go out of business, even in war.

Its so in the event of a landslide, mudslide earthquake etc, they can use burial records to find lost corpses IDs etc.

It's just wrong on at least two levels...
What I wish I could do was somehow get the phrase "Rod Hull gives you wings" out of my head. There's a 'shopped image in that phrase somehow but I can't quite *see* it. Meanwhile every time I see a can of Red Bull my mind 'shops the logo to spell "Rod Hull".
He could've done with wings on his roof that night. Perhaps that could help? But now I want to do a rod hull/bull logo for my own amusement, so I am. Ta.

If you do...
...could you post it here, please? Seeing it might just get the damn phrase out of my head.
can you spot the trolling in this unshopped picture
why are people shocked? have you not heard of cheesecakes?

I've done a proper shopped one elsewhere...
... but I used to work for Cadburys before it was bought out by Kraft, and as soon as they were bought up I joked with a couple of my former workmates that they'd soon be making chocolate flavoured cheese. 'Cos that was just stupid and funny.
