That reminds me that last time I saw my dad and tried to have a sensible discussion with him about later life plans he just repeated his oft stated wish for us to pickle him in formaldehyde, stick him in an armchair in the lounge and keep drawing his pension when he's gone.

This is less than helpful.

When Érika de Souza Vieira wheeled her lethargic-looking uncle into a Brazilian bank, clerks quickly sensed something was amiss.

“I don’t think he’s well. He doesn’t look well at all,” remarked one distrustful employee as Vieira tried to get her elderly relative to sign off on a 17,000 reais ($3,250) loan.

Paulo Roberto Braga was indeed indisposed. In fact, the 68-year-old appears to have been dead.

Shortly after entering the lender in Rio late on Tuesday with her late uncle, Vieira was arrested and charged with violating a corpse and attempted theft through fraud, according to the Rio newspaper O Dia.

“She knew he was dead … he had been dead for at least two hours,” the investigating officer, Fábio Luiz Souza, told the breakfast news program Bom Dia Rio on Wednesday

After calling England an island this was linked to. I could only watch 2 minutes out of the 17. Repulsive and vomit inducing

The vehicle is empty... but how did the driver get out to flee?

Edit - it’s a hatchback, isn’t it? So presumably through the boot.

[Antepli Ejderha]

Probably Satnav.

Hang on, that must have been 2004. Did he only become a humble Torino man when the evil Revenue took everything from him? (Well, bar the vinyard, numerous properties or the crappy "taverna" chain etc he managed to launder into his brother's name/compliant mooks willing to run shell companies).
