When i first started doing tree work, we had a massive grave yard to clear (its a tesco now) we were felling away and the JCB drivers were doing there bit clearing all the stones and stuff, The last week we were there, I was walking along, Then dissapeard down a hole, i fell 10ft into a crypt, I nearly crapped my pants, There were skeletons everywhere, All on shelves stacked up really neatly, Digger driver came over laughing his head of saying i just dissapeard out of his site, He put a rope on his bucket and lifted me out, Looking back it was funny but at the time it was horrible :lol:

im guessing under that stone, is the entrance to the vault???

 

grave yards fasinate me, found a grave stone around B5 size, with just a skull and cross bones really weatherd more than any of the others around

 

did she spill any of youre tea?

 

It used to be believed that the skull and cross bones (the two long bones from the legs) were all that was needed for you too get resurrected on judgment day.

 

Pirates flew the scull and cross bones as your only hope was resurrection.

 

The idea that you needed any mortal remains to get a resurrection was dismissed during the first world war, as many soldiers were literally vaporised and it was a morale breaker to think you were going to loose your hope of salvation.

I could have been rich but grave robbing is not my thing, I'd have been cursed for a lifetime

Haha, all the wild things that happen in your life are starting to make sense now, are you sure you didnt pinch Jack Skelingtons sovereign and porn it to buy your first shotgun????:001_tt2:

Every time I go into one of our cemeteries I end up wondering off and reading the grave stones and every time I start thinking the ‘M’ word – Mortality, does my head-in every time!

 

It has the opposite affect on me, I alway think all these guys had there time and died, why should I be any different??

 

Life is like a fairground ride, if we don't get of after our turn there would not be any seats for the next guys :001_smile:

 

Once I had kids my mortality was not a problem to me, so long as they have good lives and the things they need I will die a happy man.

 

Although I'm in rush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:001_tt2:
