Funeral etiquette

I was in alderly Edge yesterday when a wealthy business type wandered in wearing just such shoes, only with tassels.

Tassels are fantastic. A serious shoe

The only vivid memory I have of a sympathizer at my fathers funeral was a fella I had been in school with, a settled traveler and I hadnā€™t seen him in a good few years, he approached me after we had carried the coffin to the hearse after mass, the entire head was tattoed and he was looking manky, but he shook my hand properly and told me he was sorry for my troubles etc, said something complimentary about my dad as well,
I was very glad he came, what he looked like made fuck all difference

That really happened

In fairness to @padjo he finds it hard to stay clean for too long. Iā€™m fairly sure he would have slept in a bush but thereā€™s not a chance the suit was his

Youre a serious man for making up social interactions involving yourself

Christy Moore or Shane Macgowan could write a ballad about that episode in tackies life.

Iā€™ll give that an informative rating

I attended a funeral mass over the weekend which was also being live streamed on the internet.

Is this a common thing now?

For Americans it seems to be becoming a thing, yes.

A girl I knew in the states a few years back had her sisters (early 20s)funeral streamed to her as she had no green card and wouldnā€™t chance goin back.

Was at a grand funeral there earlier. The gifts brought up were a picture of Jack with his favorite bull, a newspaper, the football from the 1952 county final and a bottle of whiskey. They sang the Wild Rover as they lowered Jack down and then we went across to the GAA club where we were all given a half one to toast Jack.

Was the 1952 football pumped or stuffed ?

It was a bit flat to be honest.

You had me at this.
