Sorry Chaps,nothing to do with haulage…dun a 10 day cruise.1st time…Not food poisoning,but 4 people passed away during the cruise.The ship has a mortuary for 3.They think of everything on these holidays…Fxxx King…Devon for me next year… 90% of passengers were coffin dodgers anyway… an 1 of them had the disrespect to keel over on his cornflakes
Not really sure what you find funny about that, as I’m sure the families are not laughing!
Nothing wrong with a bit of banter, but not really seeing that when you are talking about people ACTUALLY dying…
What is funny though is that you went on a cruise and clearly didn’t expect to be surrounded by coffin dodgers! 
Which ship was that Rog? Myself and the wife love cruising and usually go on a couple each year. Just got back last week from a little 7 dayer on Queen Victoria.
Nice to be treated in a respectful way after putting up with some of the rubbish we get in our line of work.
The only thing funny is the fact you claim to be a fully grown adult yet write like a 4 year old
I thought it was funny and so would of some who died and their families if their relatives hadn’t died. I hope people are happy when I die, I know I will be 
I’d much rather pop my clogs on a cruise,rather than slumped over my steering wheel at 56 mph in lane 2 of the M1 
Not that I could afford a cruise anyway
What made you laugh about 4 people dying exactly? 
or am I missing something 
I remember being on a day bus tour from the hotel we were in at Portugal one year. An old man on our bus choked to death on a fishbone in the restaurant despite repeated attempts to save him by different people.
His poor wife was hysterical, and guess what …nobody even laughed.

I love cruising and have been on many, it’s just such an easy way to visit many different places without having to change hotels, waking up in a new place every day suits me fine.
Yes, on one of the cruises we were on a passenger did die but I have to say that the crew and passengers treated the death with much more respect than the OP here! I have also been cruising when 2 new babies born during the cruise so it’s not all “coffin dodgers”.
I don’t think he’s finding the fact that 4 people died funny but more the fact they have a morgue on the ship (most people are unaware of this on cruise ships) but the irony that it wasn’t big enough to accommodate.

Me too.
Id much rather die peacefully in my sleep like my old grandad than screaming and yelling like the passengers on his bus

And on most of the very big modern cruise ships that carry 6000 passengers and 2500 crew a fully staffed very well equipped hospital complete with operating theatre.
Births, weddings and deaths are well catered for in the cruise industry so the term “Hatched, matched and despatched” fits well…
Talking of respect, we stayed as usual at our holiday home in Mallorca last year and on Calabona beach the lifeguards spotted a guy face down in the water a fair way out, to cut a long story short despite several people trying to resusitate the poor guy died on the beach. He was left on the beach for over an hour with just a pair of sunlounges turned on there side and placed beside him and to top it all tourists were casually walking over to look at him and actually taking pictures!! I and a few others shouted at them and told them to leave before the Police locale stood beside the body waiting for the coroners car…a sad day…

I doubt that the OP found the deaths amusing…I think it’s just a variation of “Gallows Humour”
In any predominantly male/working class environment,it seems that people make light of bad news by introducing black humour.
Why ?..I don’t know…perhaps any amateur physchologists on here can offer an explanation.
We recently lost one of our drivers suddenly at the age of 51,a smashing,well liked bloke.Many tears were shed (mine included) …but within days,other drivers were quipping "Can I have his truck/can I take over his run ? )etc ;
I think it’s a British Bloke thing,we just can’t handle our emotions
Ooh Snowman you can be bitchy…How’s that little Ford Cargo…still doing multi-drop on it…more like being a Bus driver having to stop every 500 yards…
The Ship was called the Black Pearl…some bloke called sparrow was the Captain…No it was called the Norwegian… truly luxurious…but the only people I saw that was capable of having ■■■ neither mind giving birth would have been a member of crew…(Filipinos )… Stupidly I thought that when you died at sea you got a sea burial … Now that would have been something to tell the folks back home…

Boredwivdrivin, is that you? You both write awfully similar and you make about as much sense as he did, which is a little south of none.
Dont worry, you’re only human. I think. Its hard to tell with your illiterate scribblings

He had a tendancy to also ignore most other people having a go at him and focus on me as well.
I have that effect on people though. Dont worry, you’re only human. I think. Its hard to tell with your illiterate scribblings
To be fair his second post resembled English far more than his first, so you obviously made your point.

True.
I am a mere mortal but if I can help people in some small way then my life will have been worthwhile
Mr Snowman…you being an experienced multi-drop driver …what wears out first the driver’s door or the engine…
