“You have to think beyond it, otherwise it will eat you up inside.  Having got over the initial shock, you have to see beyond it.  Good things can happen.â€
Please guess whether the woman quoted had
a)Â Â Â Â Lost a close relative
b)Â Â Â Â Lost a limb
c)    Lost a wedding dress when a “bridal shop†closed down.
You guessed it. The man acting for the owner of the shop is quoted as saying “In my 30 years as a solicitor, this is one of the mst vitriolic and emotional meetings [the creditors’ meeting] I have ever been at. For the last hour and a half, she [the owner] has endeavoured to answer all of the questions she has been asked.  She has received a number of abusive phone calls and quasi death-threatsâ€. No, I don’t know what a “quasi death threat†is either but I think that we can take it that the brides are annoyed. I suspect that her solicitor didn’t do her any favours by telling the assembled multitude, however reasonably, that “customers needed to realise it was ‘only a wedding dress’ and wasn’t the worst thing in the worldâ€. Read more here. Go on, you know you want to.
Didn’t they leave it kind of late to get a dress? Do they still have shotgun weddings in ireland?
I imagine “quasi death threats” are issued by the sort of people who tell you that they “almost had a breakdown”.
GPM, I don’t think so, we’re very post modern now.
Norah, ah, that’s it.
Or even were ‘slightly pregnant’, Norah?
