I’m not fat, I’m very trim actually for a 52 year old.
It’s not very clear and I’m not sure I want to know the details. All I know is he was in a boat travelling very fast on the Murray river and somehow was thrown out and there may have been a propeller involved. It happened two weeks ago and there’s been a coroner’s inquest.

Sorry for laughing at that.

I’m debated whether or not to put a laughing emoji on the post, FFS like :man_shrugging:
You have to laugh.
Her husband, a great man, never smoked in his life, he was stone mad about her, and she him but she couldn’t quit the fuckers, he said to me that she loved the fags, and he was right

Shit what the fuck about it

At a funeral today of a lady who was taken early with cancer. She worked most of her life as a clown. At the cremation we were handed red noses and bottles of bubbles and Always Look on the Bright Side of Life played as the coffin disappeared down behind the curtain.

I was at a funeral today in Navan. It was my 1st experience of a hearse that wasn’t the standard funereal black - a smoky silver job….

The ceremony was exactly as I’d wish for myself - the Priest gave a lovely speedy wee homily, lauded the deceased’s good points with the odd sly yet witty dig (we can’t all be perfect) and that was essentially that.

None of that oul’ shite of an offspring getting up and ravelling on about the great days and memories Pops had created (Junior is merely concerned with the contents of the wil) and off we sailed. Bingo….

You’re indeed correct Sir. I heard something relative to the issue about a fortnight ago courtesy of Joe Duffy who seems to garner some negative comment on this forum. F

No eulogies and no footballers.
