Just playing devil's advocate - none of us knows the real Frank wink

Ana he seem's to express himself very well in the company of Social Workers when he is accompaning women about their inheritances and the ownership of their homes.grin You are not the only person who donate's to CRUK I do on a monthly basis I also support Help for Hero's and Support a Child abroad,sorry I can't give blood anymore through an unfortunate illness but hey-ho I don't loose any sleep over that.

Anne58 Sat 23-Mar-13 18:40:09

Ana, it doesn't take much, even just "I know how difficult this can be" or "Thinking of you" not exactly asking him to write a eulogy.

Oh and am I being picky but could you get my name right please. Fkarn?

Huzzah!! You can get blood out of a stone!!

Ana Sat 23-Mar-13 18:26:12

Some people don't express their feelings very well, though - especially on a Forum. I'm sure Frank does what he can, and he seems to love and appreciate his family.

Anne58 Sat 23-Mar-13 18:26:11

OK so you give blood as well, good for you. But it seems to me that all the charitable acts and things that you do are "a step away" i.e. you are not interacting on any level with the people you are helping.

I know that isn't compulsory, we can all support charities where we have no contact with the recipients, but can you name a single post that you have made that has shown ANY feelings at all to another member?

Anne58 Sat 23-Mar-13 18:22:52

You know from reading the threads on here that members have lost their husbands/wives, I would have thought that having been through that yourself, you might have found a moment to post something that could be seen as supportive, helpful or at least compassionate.

You seem a very cold fish Frank

HUNTERF Sat 23-Mar-13 18:21:18

O'h. I will be giving my 125th blood donation next week.
I hope to do a few more but I am afraid at my age it is time to time.

Anne58 Sat 23-Mar-13 18:20:35

OK Frank you give to charity and help with events. But I have never once seen you post anything on here that could be remotely construed as showing any feelings whatsoever for others here.

In fact I would go so far as to say that there have been times when people have been posting about a difficulty or problem or worry in their lives, do you post expressing any concern? No. Do you post offering any helpful or constructive advice? No again.

What you DO post is usually some sort of smug I'm alright jack, I've got my sodding London pension thing, or some completely unrelated guff that often starts with "oddly enough"

Blimey!shock

You do have a heart after all Frank!

I give a lot of money to CRUK and help with various events during the year.
A lot of people think it is due to my wife having cancer but we started many years before we knew she had cancer.
Nobody knows what will happen in the future and at some point I may have to rely on a charity I have done nothing for.
Somebody has now suggested I should go bothering the relatives for a share of her estate but I am not doing that as I would be lowering myself to her level.

I have said it before and will say it again, Frank has no empathy, thought or consideration for anyone other than the inhabitants of Franks World.

karma, Frank karma.

Oh, and Epping and Dagenham, on more than one occasion.

HUNTERF Sat 23-Mar-13 17:21:21

Just been around to my daughters for lunch. Very nice. Lamb.
We decided to have it today when I could walk there even though it was more of a Sunday Lunch. It may ice over tomorrow.
I got some apple pie on the way and cream.
Andie had a play with my granddaughters, had some lamb potatoes and a cup of tea.
My granddaughters like to have a cup of tea with Andie.
He likes to come in to the lounge and drink it with his friends.
No I don't think I will be able to display a death certificate on this site and I do not know if the death will be advertised in the local newspaper.
I did not advertise my father's death as I think they attract scroungers.
I remember somebody who looked at the deaths every week in the paper hoping she could claim some money.
She thought if she was a relative she would have a claim on the estate even though she may not be mentioned in the will.

How right you are, Elegran! grin

Elegran Sat 23-Mar-13 17:03:06

That is usually the moment just before the big guns start bombarding.

glammanana Sat 23-Mar-13 16:59:10

All quiet on the western front !!

Lilygran Sat 23-Mar-13 15:00:17

I'm trying to keep up but so many threads, same subject, different headings! No wonder I'm confused

Galen Sat 23-Mar-13 14:54:35

And now appears to be celebrating the fact that the ex has assed on!
I really think we should ask him to produce the death certificate, or at least give us a link to the obituary in the local paper.

janeainsworth Sat 23-Mar-13 14:47:01

Lily Do keep upgrin
If you had been following Frank's saga carefully you would know that he has been relentlessly persecuted by the ex's friends confused

Lilygran Sat 23-Mar-13 14:15:08

Thank you all for clarification. So there was NO CHANCE that Frank's father's lady friend would get the house. So what is he blathering on about?

whenim64 Sat 23-Mar-13 14:14:33

janeainsworth Sat 23-Mar-13 13:14:49
