Thanks again everyone. The Humanist minister remembered me. Thankfully there were a load of Patrick's drinking friends there so I didn't have to say Old Scrote to strangers. It was only a short piece as originally I had written the full story as an essay when I was studying Creative Writing with the OU so I just had to pick a few choice sentences and put them together. I shall copy and paste it into the private board.

Then after the service there was buckets of champagne and delicious nibbles and a bit of a party in the sunny courtyard of our favourite pub in town. I haven't had that much to drink for ages but it was such fun and much laughterness and loveliness as we all told our favourite stories about the Old Scrote.

I do feel hung-over today and this evening we've got a wedding party to go to. Secretly looking forward to a hair of the dog. I know I shall feel better then :kick:

Sounds like a good day Fugi; our friend's was like that, a lovely service and then all his golf club and other friends remembering with laughter.
Enjoy the wedding party too :)

Went to a funeral on Thursday. He was the husband of a couple who we met every Tuesday when we went dancing. There were over 100 at the funeral service. Not enough seats at the crematorium for everybody so some had to stand. He was very popular. It was a lovely day and the cemetery is on the top of a hill so we had a good view of the surrounding area.
