    I would want the pictures facing inwards so that I could enjoy them.

    I always think it's a pity you don't get to see who turns up at your funeral and for drinks and saanies afterwards, maybe a trial run............

    Obelixx I can see the pet lip, get the Laptop out and disappear into a far room you have books music back programmes of TV, learning, Geography, History and u-tube even old gardening tapes, the world is your oyster, I often wonder why I have a TV.
    As for unscaled fish if I had no time to mess about, it got stuffed oiled wrapped in foil and into the oven. Soft and succulent the skin peels off easily after all I never eat the skin why mess about.
    I Lie, rolled and baked Herrings I ate the skin.

    Why do so many adverts show many more mothers feeding or treating their sons rather more than you see them doing this for their daughters. 
    Watch these TV adverts for a while and you will see what I mean.

    No back progs of UK TV here PG unless I go on illegal download sites and I can't be bothered.

    I'm waiting for my Kindle to recharge and then I'm off to bed.

    I spotted a Belgian team scarf draped over our hall mirror this evening.  Hope they won - couldn't care less myself but it would make all my Belgian friends happy.     England tomorrow I suppose - I'd better get any jobs I want him to sorted by mid afternoon then.

    Apparently there's a custom in Tibet (if it's not just a piece of urban folklore) of carrying a corpse to a remote hilltop and leaving it for the wildlife to dispose of.  Now that does appeal, but I can't see it catching on in our crowded islands.  About 30 years ago, a friend of mine bought a bit of farmland in the midlands, planted trees, dug a pond and generally developed it as a wildlife sanctuary.  He says I can be buried there, he's checked it out and it's legal, as long as I'm not within polluting distance of the stream.  He's a few years older than me, don't know what I'll do if he dies first.

    I heard of a huntsman asking for his mortal remains to be fed to his beloved hounds.  Turned out this wasn't legal, but they got away with cremating him and mixing his ashes into their feed.

    @josusa47, not urban folklore at all. They're called "sky burials".
    Can I be very curmudgeonly and hope that England get chucked out so all this silly nonsense can just stop?

    Seconded Hosta. The only good thing about it is that everyone disappears indoors when it's on so it's lovely and peaceful out in my garden.
  • I love this discussion.? 

    It sets me up for the day. I break the rules by laughing out loud or tittering,  in approval usually.

    Keep the rants coming, there are plenty out there.

    It is 7.30am, I've had my cuppa and am now off to the beach to walk my dog. I shall keep my eyes open for any good rants whilst out.
