I f**king hate funerals

[Classic Jorge]

Controversial standpoint, I know.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I had a f**king wicked time at my mum's wake.

There was another won, I can't remember whose, where the buffet consisted of a million deep fried snacks which i imagine came from Iceland. There were things with melty cheese in, there were little sausages, chicken wings, you know the score. Magnificent.

[Classic Jorge]

Irish ones will always be a mix of chore and good piss up. And usually, if it's my family, a couple of tear ups too, once Danny Boy is out the way.

This one was basically a civil funeral at a crematorium, fascinatingly they sort of observe all the weirder funeral tropes, flowers, wreaths, velvet curtains, lord's prayer.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

When I was aregular attendee in the days of sacrificing young men to the gods of aviation, the widows and young kids were a bit depresssing.

I hope it wasn't someone too close, j.

[Classic Jorge]

I've not even met the guy, was there as moral support for my mate whose Dad it was. I was basically meat in the room.

And I was driving so not even any post-mortem swally. A rum do all round.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I must confess, I really don't miss them.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

lose it before i'm even in the church :hehe:

of existence is over.

[barrybueno]

[Classic Jorge]

[the splendor of antigone]

like a right mong in fancy getup.

I have a black blazer, a white dress shirt, and a pair of black slacks, will that do? I'm not wearing a f**king tie.

[Monty91]

not disagree with its fundamental principles.

[Classic Jorge]

Though it's won of those irritatingly thin modern ties that never covers the buttons on your shirt.

[Classic Jorge]

The only attractive women there were the grown up daughters of my mate and not even I would transgress to that level.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

You can't wear a dress shirt with a lounge suit.

You can't go to a funeral without a black tie.

Go and get yourself a black suit, black tie and white shirt. And polish your f**king shoes.

[Classic Jorge]

Condolences on the mum stuff, sorry I brought the whole thing up.

[the splendor of antigone]

[Monty91]

An that's just our partners

[Classic Jorge]

That's only what, three or four million euros

[the splendor of antigone]

even have a velvet blazer that I reckon would look quite nice. It has a skull lapel pin, though. Maybe not.

She's not dead yet, so there's still time. I will probably do the whole 'decent suit'-thing when the time comes.

[Classic Jorge]

[the splendor of antigone]

suit for that sort of occassion in the future. :thumbup:

[redgunamo]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I recommend Paul Smith for the suit. Boss has gone to ****.


I very much hope she will be fine, of course. Good luck to you all.

[Classic Jorge]

That's all dead people's clothes anyway, which would be quite poetic.

[Berni]

to express your own personal style philosophy Imo. Suit, crisp white shirt, black tie, polished black leather shoes. No f**king about.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I find it bewildering.

[the splendor of antigone]

there's a causal connection there somewhere.

[barrybueno]
