I don't think he's that fussy

You say that...

But one time at Wigan away at half time he was telling me all about this

I asked him if he ever pissed on a woman and he claimed I was some sort of deviant for asking

I’ve told my kids that I’m being buried but I don’t want a funeral where everyone mourns and dresses in black. 
Bright colours, laughter and good music along with decent food and alcohol. 
 

A party to celebrate my life and no one moping around.

I had to go to my neighbours catholic funeral service. It was horrendous. About 5 minutes of eulogy which was dry as anything and two hours of bloke in a dress telling us we’re burning in hell if don’t pay for his new roof .

Cheap as it gets, no service, cash behind the bar. Sorted

I'm not entirely convinced by this happy type funeral idea.

Yes, great in principle, but some may find a solemn service provides an opportunity for mourning in a better way.

Certainly can't be doing with an overly religious job, but something traditional isn't unreasonable 

Each to their own. 

Maybe it's better for those who survive us to make the decision 🤔

There's a tune a friend of mine absolutely despises. 

So I've told her I'm going to have it while I'm being carried in in my coffin. Just to annoy her one last time? 😁

Do people not like we have a finite number of years? It gives me great comfort. You live - make the best of what you can - and then fuck off.

I thonk self awarness of our own mortality is a wonderful gift.

Nah. I want folk suited and booted. 
 

Not having scruffy fuckers in Hawaiian shirts or shit like that at my funeral.
 

I expect them all to get absolutely shit faced mind. Just look smart while they do so.

Have your ashes scattered in the lower tier?

If my funeral isn’t full of folk in absolute pieces, howling and crying like it’s been a last minute play off final defeat, then don’t bother turning up.

Whats to celebrate? I’m gone. It’s a fucking disaster, lads. No more me. You poor unfortunate bastards.

Get drunk, for sure. But I’m doing the playlist and if that means you all have to sit there sobbing inconsolably for several hours whilst Radiohead provide the soundtrack then that’s how it should be.

celebrate nothing. I’m gone. And It’s awful.

My mum and dad have actually put this in their will. They dont want a funeral at all. They've put aside money for a party for each of them. And as KW knows, they host a decent shindig.

For me, id like the same thing with a smidge of what Spider is talking about - i am making the playlist and everyone will finally have to grin amd bearnit rather than telling me to 'turn that shit off' all the time.

The only thing id like is that if i never make it make up home, I'd like to park it and my ashes scattered at the top of scout rd. Hopefully pissing off some doggers/young couples. I grew up in Smithills, the area is a big part of my life and there is nothing more stunning in this world to me than walking over the tops or over to Two Lads. 

It'll probably be an ill attended damp squib of a do in Herne Bay before lobbing me into the shit laden North Sea.

Bracing but beautiful this morning up at Two Lads.

Reebok in the background to add a nostalgic edge for you.
