NorthernJambo Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I'm not trying to be specific about the recent atrocity but when family members release statements about their loved ones they all seem like insincere cliches. Things like 'when he walked into the room he would light the place ip' and 'always the life and soul of the party' and shite like that. I really can't think of anyone I know who is always the life and soul of the party either, everyone likes a party but all of us have off nights and fade eventually during parties so the statement is almost certainly incorrect. Beats saying "they were an arsehole. I didn't wish for this but my brother/cousin/kid was an arsehole". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Beats saying "they were an arsehole. I didn't wish for this but my brother/cousin/kid was an arsehole". That's what I would like for my family to say when I'm gone. "He's the sort of person who would walk Into the room and everyone would desperately try not to make eye contact with him so they didn't have to talk to him" or "Always that guy at the party who you wished would just f**k off coz he was a c**t" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They often go on about how "beautiful" they were as well. As if they're thinking 'I've got a pug-ugly kid as well, I wouldn't have minded so much if that one had been taken but the objectively attractive one is a real loss'.

Shandon could be buried in a massive loafer. Slippery P in a bag with some bricks and in to the river. Grimbo, well you can guess where I'm going.

No bad soldiers get killed, ever. I worry that we'll be left with all the rubbish ones to protect us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
