A strange making-people-disappear thing from China. (Their government's quite good at that sort of thing, but this is different. Seriously, it's dead clever.)

Wow that is amazing and a bit unsettling.

It still wouldn't stop fossil from bringing his own bottle of "wine".

I thought it added a rather fetching 'Thurrs been a murrder' touch to the linoleum, personally.

It was an incidental advert at the top of my googlemail page and I couldn't help but think of you lads...

I've grown out of such indulgences but there was a time in my twenties when we could have done with such a device. We were in the habit of going on a cycle-pubcrawl which involved 14 pubs and hill that would win the steepest hill thread...

Can't be arsed to tell you about it now...

Be sure to cancel your credit cards before you die. This is so priceless and so easy to see happening - customer service being what it

is today.

A lady died this past January and mbna bank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and then added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance that had been £0.00, now is somewhere around £60.00.

A family member placed a call to the mbna Bank:

Family Member:

'I am calling to tell you that she died in January.'

mbna:

'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.'

Family Member:

'Maybe you should turn it over to collections.'

mbna:

'Since it is two months past due, it already has been.'

Family Member:

'So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?'

mbna:

'Either report her account to the frauds division or report her to the credit bureau - maybe both.'

Family Member:

'Do you think God will be mad at her?'

mbna:

'Excuse me?'

Family Member:

'Did you just get what I was telling you . . . The part about her being dead?'

mbna:

'Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.'

Supervisor gets on the phone:

Family Member:

'I'm calling to tell you, she died in January.'

mbna:

'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.'

Family Member:

'You mean you want to collect from her estate?'

mbna:

(Stammer) 'Are you her lawyer?'

Family Member:

'No, I'm her great nephew.'

(Lawyer info given)

mbna:

'Could you fax us a certificate of death?'

Family Member:

'Sure.'

( fax number is given )

After they get the fax:

mbna:

'Our system just isn't set up for death. I don't know what more I can do to help.'

Family Member:

'Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. I don't think she will care.'

mbna:

'Well, the late fees and charges do still apply.'

Family Member:

'Would you like her new billing address?'

mbna:

'That might help.'

Family Member:

' Glasnevin Cemetry, Finglas Road , Dublin 11, Ireland , Plot Number 1049.'

mbna:

'Sir, that's a cemetery!'

Family Member:

'Well, what the fuck do you do with dead people on your planet?'
