Feeling a bit bored so I thought it might be a good idea for a thread.
Probably of little interest here, Australian banks are closing 300 branches because of lack of use, people now manly now doing online banking.
Like me they never go in a branch.

"The ANZ has closed or earmarked the closure of the most branches, 131, followed by Westpac, 53, the NAB, 45, and the Commonwealth Bank, 32."

A sign of the times I suppose is the same thing happening in the UK ?

In other news down under our biggest Telco has made all public phones free to use.
There aren't many these days but you can usually find one.
This would have been unthinkable a few years ago lol.

I am moving this week to a smaller home ten minutes away from my current one which we are selling. I walked into the movers’ office to pick up some boxes and talk about scheduling. And what should be on the owner’s shelf but a Manchester City football on a pedestal! Turns out he’s a huge supporter and has been for years. He’s originally from Bermuda (and as such is a big Goat fan) and grew up playing footy there as a child before emigrating here and eventually starting his business.

What a very nice surprise!

It DID look a rather new ball . . . :)

I know he can't be a dipper as he has a steady job, but could be a rag as his quotes manager's car is red though I don't think any of 'em are smart (witness some of 'em paying that bulbous oaf Houghton money for pub tours) . . . .

If you could be frozen or put in a hibernation pod like in the space films for a thousand years, would you do it.
Guaranteed to be brought back to life of course.
If you were married with kids you probably wouldn't, but being single and needing a bit of a change???

After succumbing to a fever of some sort in 1705, Irish woman Margorie McCall was hastily buried to prevent the spread of whatever had done her in. Margorie was buried with a valuable ring, which her husband had been unable to remove due to swelling. This made her an even better target for body snatchers, who could cash in on both the corpse and the ring.

The evening after Margorie was buried, grave-robbers showed up and started digging. Unable to pry the ring off her finger, they decided to cut the finger off. As soon as blood was drawn, Margorie awoke from her coma, sat straight up and screamed.

The fate of the grave-robbers remains unknown. One story says the men dropped dead on the spot, while another claims they fled and never returned to their chosen profession.

Margorie climbed out of the hole and made her way back to her home.

Her husband John, a doctor, was at home with the children when he heard a knock at the door. He told the children, “If your mother were still alive, I’d swear that was her knock.”

When he opened the door to find his wife standing there, dressed in her burial clothes, blood dripping from her finger but very much alive, he dropped dead to the floor. He was buried in the plot Margorie had vacated.

Margorie went on to re-marry and have several children. When she did finally die, she was returned to Shankill Cemetery in Lurgan, Northern Ireland, where her gravestone still stands. It bears the inscription “Lived Once, Buried Twice.” ...
