Mmm, let me think on that, I am trying to think of it not as dying, more like leaving early to avoid the rush ( shamelessly nicked from Terry Pratchett)

Well, if Richard Dreyfus can build a mountain in his lounge in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, then I'm sure Vlad can construct his own Druid coffin😉😬

Always so helpful with interesting suggestions Dex. What would we all do without your input.  :grin:

Perhaps you could design and build your own coffin Vlad.  That way it'll be exactly as you like it.  Kinda like a small mdf/wicker/plywood/papier maché version of a pyramid, but not quite so big.

Well, it's something to do in one's spare time.

The wreckers have left, son in law, granddaughter and boy friend arrived like scavenging seagulls to finish off the last of the packing...wifey and I hid away....they left, our home was stripped...so being the lovely chappie I am decided to make a bowl of soup for us...we had soup...no bowls...no soup mugs ...all packed away...somewhere in the mountain of boxes in the dining room...two coffee mugs were found which saved the day...the soup was crap! Sainsbury own brand.
Sunday they will arrive mob handed to 'do bits' whatever that, daughter has taken charge of this final bit and the move on Monday. Son in law doing stuff with plumbers and electrician in the garage conversion...my stress level has peaked out...I have no bloody intention of moving ever again except maybe in a casket.

Quote from: Alex on Today at 04:55:48 PMI too love cathedrals and churches in general.  I went into the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool only a few years ago.  I've driven past so many times and never went inside but it is absolutely massive, in fact the largest in the UK and 5th largest in the world (*I looked that up :smiley: )  so if you're ever in Liverpool it's a must visit - as is the Catholic Cathedral, aka Paddy's Wigwam  :upvote:
You are right that is humongous..I went in there once many years ago with a lot more soldiers for the funeral of our Brigade Commander, who took his own life, kinda sad, nice guy, good leader.

I'm not religious, but I love a cathedral!  Durham is fab, and Coventry is surprisingly nice. Sheffield Cathedral has a good coffee shop!

Whilst I was waiting in A&E
There were many odd sights to see
A bandaged arm, a bloodied head
And nowhere there were any beds
And it took two days before they saw me
