Perhaps she wouldnt do the on all fours thing-and clean corners and lose the black draught edge-that would drive me to murder!!

He's sorry now he didn't book on that trauma scene cleanup course.

That is very sad though, they say we all could flip if the right buttons are pressed. I feel for all concerned.

I worked with a guy in the cable industry, Ron C and we used  to call him Ron the rhino on account of his actions and tall stories. He said to me one night shift that he could commit the perfect murder of his wife by dropping a toffee in her mouth whils't she was sleeping as she regularly ate them in bed. I will leave the rest to your imagination.

To be polite she was a bit on the large side.

Another option for murder in Wales is to drink a local beer called SA. Apparantly on account of men who have drunk it and its strength,men have woken up in bed with their hands around their wives throat,in the middle of strangling them  so they nick name it skull attack. Sorry i can' tell you anymore as i have got to pop out for ten minutes before the off licence closes

you think thats bad enough
May 5, 1998. Jerrol Woods, a carpet cleaner dispatched by America’s Best Carpet Care, returned to the Rockridge, Calif., home of pediatrician Kerry Spooner-Dean to re-do work after she complained about his initial service.

Her husband Daniel Dean came home later that day to find his wife had been stabbed to death, and Woods was charged with the murder. During court proceedings, it was revealed that Woods had a long criminal history, including several armed-robbery convictions, and America’s Best hadn’t conducted a background check. Woods eventually was sentenced to life in prison without parole, but America’s Best paid a steep price: the jury awarded Daniel Dean $11.5 million, finding the company negligent for not conducting the background screen. The company has not commented on the verdict.


While tragedies such as the Spooner-Dean case thankfully are rare in commercial as well as residential cleaning, other incidents can, and do, happen. For instance, commercial cleaning giant ABM Industries Inc. currently is facing a lawsuit stemming from the February 2000 rape of a janitor by an acting foreman. The assailant pleaded guilty to second-degree rape, but ABM was charged with violating the janitor’s civil rights and creating a hostile work environment. ABM Industries declined comment.

All these posts have jogged my memory. The story was in the national papers. The guys wife used to have a lover and the husband used to watch them at it as he obviously couldn't do the job himself.

Eventually the wife fell for the younger guy and planned to leave her husband which was when he killed her. The lovers side to this story was also printed. I daresay if you ask google you will find the news-story  on there somewhere such as the bbc.
