That is mad!!! Im very nervous at wakes one time I got cornered by a priest to say prayers and I got stage fright and forgot the words, then I started to laughHusband just reminded me of a wake we went to during lockdown, a socially distanced queue to view the corpse threw a bedroom windowWe really are half cooked Seemed like a perfectly normal thing to do at the time
I have this irrational fear of stumbling and knocking the coffin over when I go past itThat is mad!!! Im very nervous at wakes one time I got cornered by a priest to say prayers and I got stage fright and forgot the words, then I started to laugh
It’s the absolute worst when you go to a wake to “show your face” but arrive just as the feckin rosary starts and you’re just stuck there til it’s over. But you can’t leave immediately after it’s finished or it’ll look bad so you hang around near the door hoping to slip out without anyone noticing but then some distant relative of the deceased will spot you and start asking who you are so then you’re just stuck there telling your life story to someone you’ve never met while they try to join the dots and figure out your family tree. Then they realise they know your Da and you’re fucked. There for the nightThat is mad!!!

We should stop the clocks, that was a UK wide custom until recently, its so people don't keep asking what time they died at.Can anyone explain to me why us mad bastards cover clocks and mirrors with sheets when there’s a wake on? Why don’t we just take them off the wall?
I've seen people doing that. Also some weirdos have to leave a house the way they came in....year round.Thanks Mavis, never knew the significance of it and never thought to ask anyonemy parents leave the front door open for an hour just after midnight on New Years Day, apparently it lets the old out and the new in I always tell them it’s the unwanted guests who’ll get in the two of them sitting frozen
That’s cause you’ve got no soul MavisI've seen people doing that. Also some weirdos have to leave a house the way they came in....year round.
Think first visitor of the year can't be a red head, which I take personally. Nobody wants to see me on the first of Jan.
Tell me something I don't KnowThat’s cause you’ve got no soul Mavis

Saw it. So glad it’s going to trial and I’m also glad the 4th co-accused has now been named. Wish they’d hurry up and set a date. It’s almost 3 years since Katie was murdered.@Et tu Brute did you see Cresswell on the news?
He even looks like an evil creep.Saw it. So glad it’s going to trial and I’m also glad the 4th co-accused has now been named. Wish they’d hurry up and set a date. It’s almost 3 years since Katie was murdered.
He absolutely is. Evil through and through. I pray he’s convicted. He needs locked up so he can never harm another woman ever again. Nervous that the PSNI have botched the entire investigation.He even looks like an evil creep.
That's amazing you've only been to one funeral!I’ve never been to a wake.
I went to one funeral but I was outside so wasn’t really there. I’m a bit funny now I don’t want to go to one. I’m m now a bit paranoid about it all if it happens too close to home but I’m weird about going head any of it.
Grandparents died before I was born and I’ve had uncles who died when I was young and viewed as too young to go. But yeah, I have been pretty lucky but now I have a bit of the heeby jeebies that once I set foot inside one then that would be the start of it so I would almost actively go out of my way to avoidThat's amazing you've only been to one funeral!
