Apparently, the church didn't like it ...
I was thinking of Spike. Didn't realise the inscription was refused.
 
My mother swore the following was true as she knew the folk involved. At the local chemists shop (back in the early 1950s, Felling on Tyne) an elderly customer was waiting for his presciption to be filled and came out with the immortal words, "If he doesn't hurry up I'll be dead before I can take the bloody tablets." Two minutes later...........thump.

General John Sedgwick strode around in the open and was quoted as saying, "What? Men dodging this way for single bullets? What will you do when they open fire along the whole line? I am ashamed of you. They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance." Although ashamed, his men continued to flinch and he repeated, "I'm ashamed of you, dodging that way. They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance." Just seconds later he fell forward with a bullet hole below his left eye.

not that I'd want to go that way, really.

"What do you mean theres no escape capsule"

I do have a funeral song, it tends to change every so often but theres a few songs that I'd like to know would be played as I'm buried/cremated/ground down into coffee......

I'm not sure what I'd say but I'd like to die in my sleep surrounded by friends and family and listening to my favourite music like my grandad did, not screaming in terror like the rest of his passengers.

My last words, after a nightshift, on the way home at 6.30 this morning were in passing to a cyclist waiting at the lights on superhighway 3 (because, as we all know, hoop*ercycleway*3 rules are that everybody other than cyclists has priority at lights - bikes are actually written out of the traffic lights phase). It's cold, pouring down with rain, my fingers are too cold to change gear without pain...

"Some guy back there is cycling in shorts. How the fùck do they do that?''

And I meant it. How do they do it?

*hoop....there's a bike locked up alongside CS3 on Cable Street, front wheel missing, frame something like ''Teman,'' which I've never seen on the road before, and someone has removed the hub and spokes from the rear wheel which is locked to the frame. It's just literally a hoop. Who on earth would steal the hub and spokes from a bike? OK, if it was a great hub I'd understand it. But spokes!!!!
