[MadelineBassett]

Finally caught up after making concerted late-night efforts over the last few days & I have thoughts on the flat-buying debacle. On one hand, I have some sympathy with first time buyers not fully understanding the impact of a short lease on a property; when I bought my first home I was still in my 20's & the 86yr lease sounded totally ok to me. It wasn't, cos I bought with a mortgage and as the lease length continued to drop, fewer and fewer lenders would have been willing to let me borrow, so I had to extend the lease once I'd lived there long enough to be allowed (which guest could do if she had the money but it can be expensive and a bit stressy) in order to keep it mortgage-able.

On the other, given guest's forever-whining about her forever-home, it does occur to me that if you have a child, it's pretty weird not to consider the fact that the lease would likely have run out during SB's lifetime if she'd ended up buying CarpMan's property. Which isn't very 'forever home-y', & being from a landlording family, I'd have assumed she'd have been keen for SB to inherit eventually.

I mean, maybe eventually she did realise that the lease length was a deal-breaker & maybe that's why she pulled out of the sale, but she's had ages to forensically research the whole flat-buying process, so it strikes me as especially bad form to have messed MrCarp around like that. You should iron out any concerns about lease length before making the offer IMO.

My dad donated his body to medical science. About 10 years before he died he asked me and my brother to sign consent forms. He consented to letting the medical school have everything they wanted so who knows what was in that coffin.....Was his body so we let it up to him. We had to wait for 18 months before they released the body (or whatever was left) but the medical school paid for the funeral, bonus!! Donation is close to my heart as I'm waiting for a kidney transplant, so don't opt out of donating folks! And......Jack is still thick....if she was any thicker she'd set (as it failed to get a thread title last time lol)

Again, I need to say that, although Guest is a bleep, the agency should be questioned. Due dil, full disclosure to the buyer....were they very quick to snap that 1k up prior to these checks?
She's behaved very badly(but not that uncommon to have offerors ghost, tbh). I feel like the agent, potentially needs looking at here too.

we had a similar experience with my father in law- it was tough not having an immediate funeral but those were his wishes. We went to a church service the medical school does every year for those who donate their bodies, and it was very emotional. They described them as “silent teachers.” A brilliant thing to do.

Any chance in the next thread the medical stuff/bodies could be elsewhere. I have asked mods, so sorry if this comes across as trying to mod. It’s just…a lot.

 

[Grifty Mc]

“She’s the Rachel Dolezal of cookery” great thread title
---

That’s lovely. And apologies to you and your mum but I misread it as temporary bum coverings I blame the boogly skellington discussion

I could have sworn we already had that as a thread title! But if we hadn’t we should have!

 

[Snotbuster]

Just throwing in my mitherings (pronounced mitherings) to agree with you.
Mr Moo and I have had several discussions about 'what happens next' and donating body to science is a popular thing that I applaud, HOWEVER...
it doesn't always mean what you think it means. I would love to have a future generation of doctors using my body to further their knowledge but being used as a cadaver in a medical school is a small percentage of what happens.
As @ThePickledCrab says above, do your research. You could end up in a body farm and that makes me shudder
Following is a dark humour take on what a body farm is.
a body farm is a place where dead bodies are put into the most grotesque situations to show law enforcement/forensics scientists what happens to victims who have been murdered. Kept in a suitcase? Yup, we got that covered. Put in a barrel after eyes have been removed? Again yup we can show you what that looks like. You fancy looking at what the British wildlife can do to a body after 5 days in a shallow grave? You need to pop down to the body farm!
Apologies for my grim humour, but this is the reality for 'donating your body to science ' can look like.

Where I live, you can compost yourself rather than be buried or get cremated.

We did that’s why it’s in quotes, we made the picture as well. I feel like it was @Brian Butterfield

 

[noweverythingsucks]

I’m going to pay extra for a full At Sea burial with folks in horned helmets firing burning arrows. Saving up. Hopefully I haven’t passed away before I can afford the ship and Viking guard of honour.
---

It’s really not meaningless or out of date dearheart.

Yes. Not to get too far into this debate but there is a lot of (IMHO) misjudged "fear" about trans surgeries, whilst a lot of intersex children are having much worse surgery as babies at the recommendation of doctors and without much concern about which gender they are.
---

Well, now I want a post-death adventure
---

Was it the Burke and Hare?

I'm too drunk to think of a pun here. But my boyfriend (who I know them through) thinks it's beautiful

I don't know if it's ADHD or her jupiter sized ego that means she has to write every inane thought that flounces in and out of her head but LJC it's irritating; how was she ever published?!

It's not ADHD. Because she doesn't have ADHD. She either feigns autism or ADHD depending on what suits her best at the time. Just as she isn't poor, trans, non binary, a lesbian, vegan, etc etc. I know I'm preaching to the choir but I can never let that go.
---

I intend to run my body hard so nothing very useful is left.... except maybe snacks for the cats if they find me first!! Life is for living, innit.

Respect to everybody donating to science though, very brave and generous.

Girl same. I'm sure they can learn something from our disgusting bodies though!
---

Wtf is wrong with her posture? Never mind the umpteen years of ballet etc, surely you would look at those photos of yourself and take immediate steps to improve it? Or, as I have said multiple times before.... She has something very wrong with her eyesight.

The c*nts who used to make things worse for you guys by pretending to have ME have moved on to pretending to have ADHD. Another condition people don't believe in which has become a joke because of people like her

 

[Onestorytoomany]

She has a old lady back in the topless photo. There is shape or posture to it. Its quite amazing too see on such a young person. She reminds me of when my 95 year old neighbour used to wear strappy dresses.

I hear you but I think it’s helpful to keep in mind that she could be a faking twit or a twit with x/y/z - people with disabilities don’t have to be sympathetic characters.

Yeah, I work with leasehold properties and love a property mither; I agree estate agents are often TERRIBLE for not putting lease length info upfront on the listing, but on this occasion they did everything right IMO. Stipulated cash buyers only and disclosed the lease length in the main description on Rightmove. So she’ll have known before viewing, which is the best an agent can do, really. It’s your solicitor’s job to guide you through the implications of a short lease, I guess. At least, that’s who I feel let me down a bit the first time I bought, rather than the estate agent.

Yeah, I hear you @Silver Linings. Hope you're alright.

When I read this thread title, the immediate thought was ''Oh god, she's found herself a new sugar mamapapa''. I pray this isn't the case. Love 'thirsty allslop' though - just brilliant!

Given what other fraus have said about their own experiences with leaseholds, it seems that someone, somewhere in the process, would have to see enough official documentation to be assured that guest had sufficient cash on hand (or access to cash) to complete the transaction. It doesn't sound like the transaction would have proceeded to guest being able to put down a deposit if that hadn't happened.

Totally. The agent normally asks you to send proof of funds as soon as you make an offer, and I don’t think they normally issue the memorandum of sale until you’ve done so. That part of the process normally all happens within a few days of making the offer/having it accepted. So it seems almost certain to me that she must have had the £157,000 in an account to show to the agent at the time of making the offer. Though what happened to it after that is a whole other matter

says in the new thread can we please please start re-mithering about slop, sideboards and the hundreds of thousands of pounds that talentless enabled attention seeking fantasist Jack Monroe has scammed out of well meaning people while lying about poverty, prostitution and stealing food to survive (2013), poppy seeds, perms and lots of other things that don’t start with P, and contradicting herself with her every utterance, with NO FRIDGE, NO LIGHTBULBS, only a few scant DVDs, her nicest blouse and the distant memory of the dark, dark time in the mid-1990s when Robson & Jerome’s number one wartime hits played on the Dog Victrola and Ma and Pa eked out their ration book coupons on a shared tin of cold beans in a darkened attic, with the burning cheeks of embarrassment caused by the trousers of humiliation the only source of heat in the entire five bedroom semi-detatched house with massive garden to sustain her while she selflessly does so much good? ❤

Don't forget the 14 mile walk to school, which would take you twice round the whole town, and the wild culinary origins of coronation chicken and chips.

 

[I'm not actually here]

She looks like a wannabe Myra Hyndley as well.
Aside from the absolute lack of muscle I think the weird pose in part is to obscure her - always in the wrong size bra - tits

Been out with mates. Showed the pic n this, this, this comment is up there: she's bent like a prawn.

As is becoming my wont , I spat my drink out! Then, we looked it up...

Urban Dictionary: Bent

Extremely irritated

No more drinks were drunk cos nobody could BREATHE. Hilarity to the max.

Canal, if she wanted us to stop breathing, tonight, we did.

Rachel Dolezal,

Oh crikey- you've already said this!

HAVE I NO ORIGINALITY?

<weeps>

<whispers>

Am I . . . Jack . . . ?

No. NO. Pls, not the mouses. Be you. Pls. I couldn't cope if you were guest.

Sob. Meltdown. 911 even. RING THE COMMISARY.

You own the shed. The hedges. The randomly dumped garden parcels. That weird light that said LiveLifeMice. Prob all 50ft of the eucalyptus....

On another thread recently, somebody mentioned a story where a chap's mum had been donated to science, but the uni or wherever sold her on. She was then basically used as a crash test dummy, or blown up, or sth equally as unforgiving. (might have been Jay slater thread? That's been black humour from day 1 and I am going to hell wherever @FunnyFuneral chucks me out the hearse-dinghy)

Me too. If you have a short lease, and need to sell, you are in a precarious position imvho. Are such agencies monitored? Is there an ombudsman? I'd love to see them prove they did due dil for their client, Mr Carpman.

I'm sure he has far better things to do with his time. I'd be taking this as far as poss if I had no grieving grandkids etc

 

[Jemadah]

I'm way behind so may have missed something, but just to have a quick mither (pronounced however the feck you like) - Zak Dingle's name (if it is indeed due to be the next thread title) is spelt with a K and not a C. (Why do I know this stuff and why do I care?)
