Hopefully vaughanwilliams will drop dead soon!

Very constructive.
How about "May your favourite child die in a chip-pan fire"?

Come'on VW!! Admit it, doesn't it make you feel better that you won't need to fight over the other carpertbaggers for a burial plot? I've found just the one for you over here. I'll send you the plot coordinates and map. (Being the thoughtful kind that I am I've made sure its on TC land left behind in 74 to make you feel more comfortable. I'd hate you spending an eternity on land that might legally belong to you.)

DT Old lad, Thanks for the offer but you're too late.
I'm being buried at sea.

In or outside territorial waters? and when?

Outside. When I'm dead.

I cant wait that long

Might not be that long. Some of the posters on here could bore you to death.

Nah!!! Never get bored. It is sometimes useful to see that there are others less gifted (upstairs) than ones self. Many of them about.

how does someone go to a grave and steal the dead body remains and no one saw it?

More than one, sorry more than four personand they must have had some transport. In one photo, there were nearby houses. That makes it more remarkable.

[paliometoxo]

well i hope they find out why and who... maybe by now they took it to do things to the remains... i wonder what punishment the people will have if they are cought

[Get Real!]

It sure sucks when the only eye-witness was a dead man!

[denizaksulu]

I appreciate the difficulty in moving a coffin, but was it a deliberate action to take the remais alone? If that is the case, I think there is no hope of finding the remains. Then one could be wrong as it would be easier to move the remains without the coffin. Was the body embalmed? I dont know the processes in Cyprus. The more one thinks of it the more sickening it gets.

Cyprus seeks Interpol help to find president's bodysnatchers

Body of Tassos Papadopoulos still missing six days on, amid rumours of a ransom demand for its return

Cyprus has asked Interpol for help in tracing the missing corpse of former president Tassos Papadopoulos amid rumours that bodysnatchers have put out a ransom demand for its return.

With Greek and Turkish Cypriots still stunned by the theft and little headway made by police in the six days since the corpse's disappearance, authorities said today they had called in Interpol.

"We want to find out more about what motives the criminals might have had, how they might have acted and how we should deal it," police spokesman Michalis Koutsounodos said . "There is absolutely no trace of the body and we have to evaluate everything."

Cyprus's intelligence services are also investigating the case amid concerns that the bizarre affair is affecting sensitive talks to reunite the war-partitioned island.

Papadopoulos, a controversial figure who was president from 2003-2008, died at 74 from lung cancer a year ago to the day before his remains were taken from a cemetery near the divided capital Nicosia.

Under cover of darkness, the raiders shifted a heavy marble slab encasing the tomb and dug through several feet of earth before snatching the corpse from the coffin. Police said they had used lime to cover their tracks in what was soon revealed to be a highly organised crime.

Among supporters of Papadopoulos, a hardliner best known for inciting Greek Cypriots to reject a UN-backed plan to reunify the island in 2004, rumour is rife that Turkish Cypriots are responsible.

The possibility of Romanian grave robbers being behind a ransom demand has also circulated.

"For the moment they are just rumours," said Koutsounodos. "Papandopoulos's family has denied that they have received a ransom demand."
