    Enough!


    It's not so much the dead who need to be incorruptible, it's the other buggers  ;)

    If resurrection was possible, I wonder who people would like to see come back ?  I imagine you would have to take into account that those chosen may just look at what's happening today and decide not to bother ;)

    There are quite a few people I'd like to come back just for the 5 or 10 minutes it would take me to shout at them about what appalling prats they were in life and what gives them the right to cause so much pain and misery.   

    Wouldn't be fair to have the good ones back to despair at the messes being made now.

    Makes you think that whoever dreamt up the idea of purgatory was pretty smart  ;)

    That was a wheeze by the Catholic church working out how to bleed money from those who could afford to buy their way out and bypass Purgatory!

    Didn't improve their behaviour tho @Dovefromabove.   Kill/suppress/torture/bully the populace and then confess and pay before repeat offending.

    You couldn't make it up. An extract from the Daily Telegraph yesterday concerning the Insulate Britain protestor who glued his face to the tarmac.

    "His most recent venture, Solid Carbon Storage, allows for people to offset their carbon emissions by people paying to bury charcoal at the bottom of a quarry. The South Yorkshire based company does this by buying charcoal from Namibia, before it is loaded on pallets in South Africa and then transported by sea freight and road transport back to the UK. The company claims that the charcoal is from dying plants and trees that it 'removes' from the carbon cycle."

    And people fall for this rubbish? He must be laughing all the way to the bank.

    Obelixx, what have you got in your cleaning kit that could remove navy felt tip from a white cotton sheet? Contacted my hair dresser, for a cut and blow dry,she's messaged back,sorry, fully booked till January,so now I'm wondering if she really is,or doesn't want to do my hair for some reason. Thoughts on this?
