    And remember folks when you are round the old people's house it would do no harm to check that their will is in order.
    Especially if they have anything of value.............be a shame if they died and an expensive court battle ensued to fight over the legacy.
    Probably better if it was all left to just one kind sole..........you know like the person who calls around to their elderly neighbours when the snow is here.

    That is just WOW... I know after hours can be bad at the best of times, but just WOW

    To be fair...if I was elderly and only one person came to check on me during such weather, I probably would include that person in my will.

    Besides, the post is just black humour and quite harmless.

    Just called into 9 separate elderly people on my road, (the area I live in is mature) one needed bread and milk, other than that every one of them were all set. Had a chat and they all seemed in good spirits. Only bad thing is that every one of them invited me in, most hadn't met me before, it was very sweet that they so trusting but at the same time I'm just hoping no one dodgey knocks into them because they'd probably invite them in too:eek:!!!

    Don't forget to call into your neighbours!

    I called over to my neighbour with a bowl of stew.
    I had made a big pot anyway.

    She was wearing her coat and hat in her house!
    but I've my hat on in my house too! ;)

    Stew gratefully received and she was glad of the visit.

    It is really cold out there and a lot of your neighbours would be very grateful if you knocked to see if they are ok.

    :)

    Cool and all, but how much did you charge her for the Stew?

    Didn't Howard Hughes leave his billions to some guy who gave him a lift when he was a homeless beggar looking to hitch a ride out of the desert. Although the will was successfully contested by family

    The body of a 78-year-old man was found outside his home in Claremorris in Mayo this morning.
    Gardaí are seeking to establish whether his death was linked to severe overnight weather conditions which saw temperatures plunge to -9C.
    The body of the pensioner was discovered this morning at 10.30 on the pathway leading to his home in the Lui na Greine housing estate.
    The man lived alone and had been shopping in Claremorris the previous evening.
    He returned home by taxi at around 9pm and was dropped off outside his gateway.
    A relative found the body of the man outside his hall door, which was locked.
    The remains were taken to Mayo General Hospital in Castlebar.
    Gardaí say there was nothing suspicious about the death and they were keeping an open mind pending the outcome of a post mortem.
    Superintendent Padraig O'Toole appealed to the public to check on elderly neighbours living alone during the current freezing weather conditions.
