Title: Wills
Post by: Nick on February 20, 2008, 11:15:03 AM
They finally arrived in draft form. Full of errors, so we have been correcting them.

The Boy found them on a table and began reading. He soon got the idea.

"So if you and Mummy die I get this house, the other house and the London house"
"Yes"
"Anything else?"
"Everyything actually"
"So what is that all worth then?"
Me, magnanimously, "Well with the investments and the insurance and stuff prolly about a million"
"All for me?"
"Yes"

He then went very quiet

I came into the world with nowt and will leave it the same way.
After Mrs S#1 cleaned me out I had to start everything again and that was cut short by ill health and three children. What we have is all in Mrs S#2's name for obvious reasons. Given my health it seems to make more sense and will cut down on the paperwork. So the house is hers. There is no insurance because I cannot buy any (what insurance company would touch me? I have a file two inches thick of "Sorry but no thank you, we don't want your business letters)
So apart from my clothes and a few bits and bobs (Watch, ring etc that the kids can have) just place me in the rowboat, add petrol and a match and float me off down the river.

Actually it is very refreshing to know that I am worth sod all. I used to have all the worries etc but not anymore. cloud9:

Cider, lager & blackcurrent.

Guinness & cider = poor mans black velvet
Title: Re: Wills
Post by: Snoopy on February 21, 2008, 11:11:21 AM
Cider and Lager ..... the aficionados like it using Scrumpy Jack or White Lightning Cider ('bout 8%) with Stella or Heineken Export ('bout 5 to 5.5%). Yes a couple of pints of that mix and most people are out of their heads. Most landlords refuse to serve it as a mix and many (self included in my day) would not allow it to be sold as separate drinks to the same person 'cos we knew they would mix it as soon as they got back to a table.


Cider and Guinesss is a poor mans version of Champagne and Guiness which is known as a Black Velvet. Brilliant with oysters.
Title: Re: Wills
Post by: tel on February 21, 2008, 11:17:02 AM
You may or may not recall that TMR and myself have spoken of Snakey (Snakebite), name obviously from his drinking habits. Only person in pub allowed to drink it, not to include Stella, Carling only.

Port & Guinness anybody?
Title: Re: Wills
Post by: The Moan Ranger on February 21, 2008, 11:21:32 AM
Down here it is Cider and Lager, with a dash of blackcurrant cordial to give a nice red/pink hue. Only one person in my local is allowed to drink it.

It's what your landlord is used to.

Wenchy is right about "Black" to indicate the use of blackcurrant cordial or for that matter "Lime" or "Green" to indicate a wish for lime cordial to be added but the basic Snakebite is cider and lager mixed in equal proportions.

I came into the world with nowt and will leave it the same way.
After Mrs S#1 cleaned me out I had to start everything again and that was cut short by ill health and three children. What we have is all in Mrs S#2's name for obvious reasons. Given my health it seems to make more sense and will cut down on the paperwork. So the house is hers. There is no insurance because I cannot buy any (what insurance company would touch me? I have a file two inches thick of "Sorry but no thank you, we don't want your business letters)
So apart from my clothes and a few bits and bobs (Watch, ring etc that the kids can have) just place me in the rowboat, add petrol and a match and float me off down the river.

Actually it is very refreshing to know that I am worth sod all. I used to have all the worries etc but not anymore. cloud9:

Oh how I can empathise with this Snoops..... especially as I have also just been told I'm 'uninsurable'!!!!!! In Cyprus is best to have Private Health insurance...used to be a condition for obtaining your Alien number, but that's not so anymore.... otherwise I guess I'd be on the plane back!!!!
