What about " pissedasaratitus " a semi comatose conditition ?

Sin Eaters.....I think the modern version are alive and well. When you go to the after funeral do for a pint and sandwiches and a slice of gala pie, sat in the corner are a couple of old dears. No...

Not only the Daily Mail, organ of the middle classes, but also the Sun, white van mans favourite paper, also carries the story and has an online vote.
