The family afflicted
An old work colleague aptly called the Mekon (he had a head a little bit like this) used to work with us a few years ago. Well I say work, he was off sick more than Jade Goody and most probs had holiday photos of the office as he only spent what seemed like 2 weeks a year there. It was usually excuses with his back that got him off work, then he suddenly and unfortunately had to attend a funeral. Then another. Then his grans. Then his grandads. Then his other grans. Then his uncles. Then his auntie. Then his other grandad. This was over the course of about 3-4 months.

HR got a bit suspect when he announced that he had to attend his gran's funeral again, making it 3 times (maybe they do things differently in Carmathen, the biology gets a bit clouded past Ammanford). He made some excuse advising it was a nickname they gave a friend of the family and took it off anyway.

So either he was the Carmarthen Ripper or running rapidly out of excuses. In the end he changed job and got employed with the Carmarthen council; apparently he turned up for the first day of work wearing a neck brace.
