The lazy bastards the news reporters will interview every time benefits or welfare form is mentioned so they can have a cry.

Getting old - a few pints after work yesterday and I'm sleeping half the day!

[Never beat the deeler]

Jays lads ye're in great form these days - had to go to page 4 to find this thread.....

Was sitting down to watch a film the other night, and the lad beside me goes 'You'll love this, its a great movie with a great twist at the end.'

So I sat there, knowing that it obviously wasn't the guy that we were supposed to think was the bad guy, and was probably his seemingly straight laced partner.... Ruined the feckin' thing

What was the film?

funerals..

Just returned from one, a local lad i knew passed away, what grinds my gears is the whole set up of irish funerals e.g going around shaking hands with each & every family member not knowing what to say?

A life should celebrated & not mourned... for family to sit through that is terrible

Maybe some family's take great comfort in it and find it helps ease the pain..
Do you not think it be worse if they were left alone with no one offering their condolences? 
And what do you mean not knowing what to say?
You shake their hand and say sorry for your loss,its not that difficult.

It's showing your support for the family, personally I've taken great comfort from it when in that situation.
Families aren't generally in the celebrating mood in the days after a loved one's death either.

Sitting down for hours shaking hands with mainly strangers doesn't help ease the pain, should be a get together to celebrate the life, IMO family members are put on display having to sit through it & You have go to each member & say sorry for loss sounding like a broken clock in the end

Having sat through a lot funerals myself there must be a better way of doing it?
