    Room full of old bare wrinklies or naturalists?

     He he! Well... It's not the kind of thing I wanted to Google to check I had the right one!

    Me too Punkdoc. I had a check but my wrinkles have all disappeared.

  • Pat ... my theory is that if you keep your upholstery well stuffed it doesn't go wrinkly and saggy image

    We had an unplanned quick trip to Canberra this afternoon (bank business  not family).

    these were the clouds on the way up.

    Naked wrinkly people....image

    That's put me off my dinner  image

    Lovely clouds Pat. I like a moody sky. Can't see ours - it's miserable out there. Frosty start again, but the forecast was rain/sleet, and it's lived up to that  image

    I totally agree with r'girl about weddings/funerals. Weddings are overrated anyway image

    I'm making a list of songs for mine (funeral, not wedding) It's quite long - think youngest is getting very nervous....image

    They were talking about people's last words before dying on JV on Radio2 today. Some lovely stories. I think if I had a choice it would be Spike Milligan's famous headstone quote 'I told you I was ill'.....

    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    ............  As for the wedding ... although they only live in the next country I was unaware of the young lady's existence until the engagement was announced ...

     I think I'd opt for HG Wells - "go away, I'm alright" image Mum had a book with lots of epitaphs, some of which were hilarious. One of them was "His foot it slipped and he did fall. 'Help! help!' he cried and that was all" image Mum's favourite was "I stand not here on feet and toes, I'm in the air and up your nose"

    I thought I'd ask for 'Good Riddance' to be played at my funeral image

    Love the H.G.Wells quote!

    I want Dylan's own version of Mr Tambourine Man. 

     " I'm ready to go anywhere,

       I'm ready for to fade

       Into my own parade

       Cast your dancing spell my way

       I promise to go under it "

    Gets me every time, and by the time he reaches   ' to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free'....well, that's me a sobbing, quivering wreck...   image
