I live in the house that used to belong to my Grandma and that my dad
inherrited when she died 2 years ago.

Nan was very into her "charity" work, in that she donated to everyone
and everything. Therefore, even though she has been at rainbow bridge
for over 2 years now, we still get all the junk crap begging mail from
charity that goes straight in the bin. I don't actually pay any
attention to it, except for one this morning. I laughed so hard, my
sides hurt.

It was from some Psychic. It said various crap like she'd won £1 million
if she did X, yadda, and then it said......

"Mrs Miles, Congratulations! You've had a rough 2 years (Well, DUH!
She's DEAD!), but that time is finally past! You are moving into a new
sunshine stage of your life. This win will facilitate that! Do X, Y, Z,
yadda before X date, yadda..."

Some Bloody Psychic!! I bet they won't see my scathing reply coming...
;o)

Yeah, but ... what does all this have to do with muppets?

One of the phrases used in the UK for "idiot" is "muppet" because they
are made of cloth and have stuffing in their heads. Hence, the people
who sent this are "Muppets" performing "Muppetry". :)
