Jacksgranda Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 2 minutes ago, Craig fae the Vale said: After she got off the bus (out of the bus?) My wife got word thst her 92 year old grandmother in the States has passed away. She's taken it much harder than I was expecting, given how they weren't close, and I'm not really sure how I can help (I know I probably can't, but I want to at least try). She doesn't get homesick for the States very often, but I think when something like this happens, it's hard not to. Sorry for rambling on, think getting it off my chest has helped me have a bot of clarity. Just need to comfort her the best I can. Quite often when grandparents die the grandchildren take it worse than their parents. I think when you get to your 40s and your parents are still living there's a wee bit at the back of your head reconciled to them dying, but it sometimes hits grandchildren harder. That's probably not much use to you, all the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 17 hours ago, Craig fae the Vale said: Mrs fae the Vale has just texted that she is "in the bus" before correcting the typo. It has me thinking that "in the bus" is actually more accurate than "on the bus", unless you do happen to be sitting on the roof. You’re right; never even noticed this before. I’m going to use the more accurate terminology from now on (not that I’ll actually get in a bus, but in theory). Who do we need to speak to to get this changed? Is it still Susie Dent ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite a big ask if you're working in a burger van that doesn't have a cheese grater or any blocks of cheese. I look forward to Stevie's upcoming posts about the lack of buckfast in the bierhalle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
