I think you should consult some more, just to be really sure.

Then, tomorrow morning, you will wish you weren't.

I consulted the spirits to see whether I should reply or not.

After the sixth glass, the consensus was no! :-D :-D

I know, Bob, but it's got me bothered. I keep trying to walk through walls just to get into the spirit of things.

I've ended up with a headache and still don't know.

Mind you, OH does accuse me of being dead from the neck up so perhaps the Bank has a point :-S

Only once I have decided on whether or not I'm dead, Sharon, otherwise my widow may have to apply ;-)

Looks like you have broken the applicable law by showing us that.

That's alright, you will be able to afford the fine now.

Apart from the question relating to my demise, I was intrigued by information the bank required, particularly item 6.

Many years ago I would have replied tri-nightly, but now, alas, it is try weakly . :-D :-D :-D
