She asked me when I was going to move out and let my father's ex take the house.
She did go but she might have physical force used against her if she comes back.

WhenI think you've hit the nail on the head. After my 'conversation' about colleges/universities on another thread I'm convinced Frank is more than one person and 'his' replies depend on whose turn it is. Consider the replies: the language,spelling and tone vary.
Would a man who goes to a 'Bums and Tums' exercise class ever think of kicking someone in the rear? Better hang on to those thoughts or banishment may follow......wink

He's probably a bored student who's accessed his dad's computer with a couple of his mates. Ha ha! grin it has been funny grin

I think the 'queer' woman was very brave - or foolhardy - to confront Frank. It does seem very suspicious that four - four- old dears met their demise after crossing him. In their 80's they may have been, but four? That seems a little suspicious.

There is a frank hunter in Birmingham.. He's a black heavy metal musician.
Do you think that is our Framk?

Two of your so called old dears are little old men and I am not displeased to see the back of them.
There may be more than 4 but that is all I have heard about.

Frank have you go a brother called Ernest?

NfkDumpling Wed 20-Mar-13 19:00:12

So how many of these beligerent wrinklies have there been Frank?

I used to work on the reception at a housing association and was warned that the ones to watch out for were sweet little old ladies. I have to say well dressed elderly gentlemen with hearing aids and little dogs could be pretty threatening too.

Here is a genuine story - the man who rented a cottage from a friend of my daughter died very unexpectedly. He was not married and had split from his girl friend a year or so ago. He has no children, but siblings here in NZ. He had been telling his landlady for some time that his girl friend had been a gold digger and she wasn't going to get anything further out of him. He was only 48 when he died (heart attack) and had not made a will.
The former girl friend has now turned up saying she is his sole heir and he promised to leave her everything. She said that as they had lived together for a couple of years, she was his 'de facto' partner.
I think NZ law is the same as British, in that unmarried partners, and especially ex partners, would have to prove that they had contributed in some way to the home/capital/ etc. I will be interested to see if the siblings are able to stop the girl friend getting hold of everything.

Don't worry, Greatnan - I'm sure Frank's on the case at this very minute and will soon be giving you the benefit of his experience! grin

Never mind it looks like I have missed a really good laugh to-day,I will look to-morrow and see what the story is through the round window ?

I think this case is going to frizzle out before it gets to court.
I don't know the laws in New Zealand but in the UK:
The fact that she said that he told her he would leave her everything would not count as there is no such thing as a verbal will even if there are witnesses.
Normally the person would have to have been living with the deceased for 2 years immediately before the death for the claimant to say they had any dependency on them which may allow a claim.
If the landlady is willing to testify as a witness to what the deceased said about her being a gold digger this will weaken the claimants case.
If there is anything in the house belonging to the lady she would be entitled to it but she would have to give details of the item before the house will be checked.
If the item is not in the house it is unlikely she will have any recourse to the estate as they have been separated for a year.

This case is very different from my case in the fact the lady claiming my father's estate never lived in the house, the house was half owned by me and my father had made out a will with me as sole beneficiary.

Banned from a club! Haha that really made me laugh, I'm sorry it did. I can just imagine the meeting that was held to discuss your banning and the show of hands that ended it. smile . I don't mean to be cruel or nasty but some of the things you come up with, and I think you say things for their effect, it's a wonder that you aren't 'banned' from this forum.

Nonu Thu 21-Mar-13 14:08:15

God Nooo can"t ban frank , he/she is such a tonic , LOL soo much [smile

If frank wasn't real,wouldn't he post more interesting comments?Im new and have seen Frank's postings and do enjoy them but he does sound like a man.Then again,I've always been a little naive and have had my leg easily pulled. Where as you guys are smart cookies!!

Nonu Thu 21-Mar-13 17:10:50

Envious , some of the time .

I wonder, if it was a woman posting Frank's threads, whether she would be mocked. Or sympathised with.

soop Thu 21-Mar-13 17:13:51

Jing Frank is Frank, and as such, I enjoy his quirkiness. smile

Ana Thu 21-Mar-13 17:13:59

I agree with you, Enviousamerican - although Frank does show a glimmer of a sense of humour on occasion...wink

Nonu Thu 21-Mar-13 17:14:47

Who the devil knows , I sure don"t .

Just find it all soo amusing , better than too much back-biting

what I find interesting is how everyone rises to his bait and how often he throws the bait! wink
