Mate down & out

Tomorrow I will be attending the funeral of a mate, a biker and all
round good guy. Cancer got him in the end, but he maintained a sense
of dignity and dry humour to the last.

Just want to raise a large glass of something very alcoholic to absent
friends, all.

 

Commisserations Jen

Very sorry to hear this.

It's always worse for those left behind.

<fx: chinks glass>

 

1 in 3 of us will die of cancer.

 

1. Cheery ****, incha?

2. It's only a mate.

 

That's a damn fine obit. Give him a good send off, and my commiserations to
those who will miss him.

I'll join you.

 

1 in 1 of us will die.

 

So being dead is always better than being alive?

 

If you're dead do you really care?

 

The Big Casino struck in this house too in the last few days,
fortunately not of the kind that spreads, and easily zapped.

I tip my hat to your mate, for his attitude.

Look upon his funeral as a celebration of your friends life; raise
many a glass to him in the future, in those quiet moments if
necessary, and remember the good things about him.

I lost a biker friend in 1963, and still recall his infectious good
humour.

My commiserations on your mate's passing.

 

"Think of ukrm like a funeral parlour. Come in, have a glass of wine
and a cucumber sandwhich, sit down and wait for the assistant to ask
which family member, friend, loose aquaintance or random object of
melodrama you've come to grieve over".

 

What a fucking awful, coy euphemism.

If you could manage to rewrite that sentence with the words utter ****
and **** off in there somewhere I'll agree with you completely.

RIP...

 

Bullshit

 

10 out of 10 of us will die from DEATH!

 

Knew you couldn't resist it for long.

How come UKRM get spared the full rant and get away with a bullshit?
