Shocked by the conspicuous absence of Lord Slowlane in the departing congregation. Iād have thought that even were he minded to ignore his holy duty to the Almighty, heād have at least been there to ensure the serfs were in attendance. Naturally, upon entering I dropped a few farthings into the box and murmured a prayer of expiation on his behalf, but I await an explanation from @lifeintheslowlane and it had better be fucking good.
On the Norwegian Getaway this morning. The captain of the Prima did a pretty good job of parking up into a tight space, thereās only a few car lengths between them.
Because normally a post mortem or inquest has to be carried out even if they have just passed due to old age. And if you just dump the body over the side the lawsuits that will follow would be horrendous.
We were once doing a job on the QE2 and the ice machine for the main bar passed away so me and my mate got some bags of cold water and placed them in the Morgue onboard.
Everybody wanted some of the ice until we told them where it came from
I spent a couple of years working in the hospital on the QE2 back in 1979/1980. It wasnāt that unusual for people to pass away, some of the passengers,(on the world cruise especially) were very old. They were kept in the mortuary until we arrived in a suitable port where they would be taken ashore for the appropriate embassy to deal with the formalities. It always amazed me how ill some of them actually were when they embarked, it wasnāt unknown for some to be admitted to the hospital within a day or two of embarking. Their insurance premium must have been through the roof. I suppose when they are fabulously wealthy they are looking for one last hurrah. Always seemed a bit of a waste to me though.
