Love how you bring the Lolz to every thread.

A simple solution to auld curmudgeons.  Just taking the pulse of the thread.

I'm over 60 and live in an area populated by retirees and assorted coffin dodgers and get regular junk mail about 'meals to your door' or 'disabled showers' or 'DIY hip replacements using dental adhesive' - ok so I made that last one up but you get the point.

Today's missive was from Pure Cremation who, for about £1,700 , will collect your cold, dead body and then burn it and either scatter your ashes somewhere in England or put them in an urn and send them back to your loved ones.  No ceremony needed or wanted.

Sounds like the perfect option for you.

That could be a winner...

I took the liberty of booking you in on Wednesday.

As in his daughter should be doing the dusting?

You'd think so wouldn't you

These leafletters should have done their market research to target more appropriate products for you;

It was Bishopton  It is a fair climb up the hill from the town to the cemetery for the horses

There's one in Dundee that does the rounds on a fairly regular basis, spotted last week.

My mate died of cancer in his 30s.  He got the horse and hearse send off as that was what he wanted.  Only one like that I have attended.

Lost the plot you mean?

I think I might, many years from now of course, snuff it in mid November.

I'll miss Christmas and the funeral is likely to be on a freezing cold day in the pissing rain.

I'd also request a Psalm that goes to about 100 verses is sung by the mourners.

Reason why? If I'm not having a good time no-one else should!

Psalm 119 is the one for you.

M father was buried, I was obviously on a cord, only other time was at my best friend’s funeral back when we were 21. Bitch we’re pretty grim.

Mrs RN#2 had a humanist service, I had to do the eulogy because virtual no one else knew anything about her. Her ashes went into the Forth, by her request, by S Queensferry.

It could be said, tragic though the circumstances were, at least you fulfilled many a P&Bers dream there by seeing your wife get in the sea...

Not something I've witnessed personally but I always associate this with the gangster community. Did the have a big floral wreath spelling out GUV'NOR?

Wonder if the Loving Cup will make an appearance at big Watty's funeral?
