Query and long term invite

Is Johnny Cash singing Ghost Riders in the Sky your favourite pop/country song? It is mine. I'm going to have it played at my funeral along with Beniamin Britten's Russian Funeral Music. You will march in to
The Battle Hymn of the Republic played by the Clyde Valley Stompers and stomp off out to the Saints Iazz Band playing I want a girl just like the girl who married dear old dad.

I've asked my executors to make complimentary portions of my pies available at the do afterwards, but you bring you own medications.

A) can we bring a plus one :?
what if we are unable to stomp?
C) is it a free bar?
D) do you have a date for this event? (I don't mean a lady date, I mean when will this be? I've got hospital appointments coming up)

well i do hope that it many years before we cross this bridge but now you have made me think there gong to be no black at mine bright colours only not sure about the russian funeral music what does that sound like. cheese non of that smelly stuff but pies great idea

Hello
I have given this some thought and although its not quite my type of music the free pies are very tempting. Do you think you could lay on a couple of free drinks and a pick up from the neareast railway station.
If this is possibe i will be there please let me know the date and ill put it in my Diary.
I have to say if i get a bretter offer from a soon to be dead friend i may take it. However i havent got any sick mates at the moment so if you could try and arranges something soon i would be moer than pleased.
One last thought I'm growing flowers for the garden so June could be a good month it would save me having to pay for flowers, If your family and friends could be instructed to purchse flowers from my goodself it would help with my train fare and any other expensis i might have on the day.
By the way i can mourn really well. If you could send me the train fair i could bring the wife.
Boy can she mourne there was a Funeral in Liverpool last month and she could be heared wailing in Birkenhead propper tears and everything, and we where only passing by.
Your good Friend
Colin

if they are wild horses would not keep me away

A few more details.

It will probably take place some time this (ie 21st) century.
Cant be precise yet. I have a definite date with my 11 year old
grand daughter on her 18th birthday when she will drive me to
Garstang Baths in a car I will have bought and insured for her and
we will swim at least 3 lengths. One for me, one for her and one for luck.
There are also several medical consultants who have shewn interest in
various parts of my ageing body and I've no doubt they will keep making
appointments with me for chats. The gastro man wants to see me in two
years time so I said ok.
I have still to negotiate 18th birthday celebrations with my 9,6 and 4 year
old gds and my two senior grandchildren want me (and Nana) to attend
their graduation ceremonies.
Bring who you wish and as many as you want. You can even bring people I dont know.
Free bar? Bloody hell lads you are getting a slice of pie and you will hear
good music. Incidentally if you hear a knocking from inside the box dont worry. Hopefully I'll be keeping time to the music. If you cant stomp, just
whistle or hum or blink in time.
No flowers please. Just be nice to your best person and put a quid in the AC collecting box.
Location is not yet decided. Did think of Deepdale the home of my favourite football team Preston North End, but if you are all going to turn up I may have to lower my sights a little and hire Old Trafford,

if it's gonna be on enemy turf then by law I'm unable to attend rkid.. I would burst into flames stepping onto scum turf :shock: What ya trying top do to me? Lol
I can hum, whistle & blink.. Not all at once though.. I'm sure that the Magnificent six (as out would be) aka the chippendales :? will gladly entertain all the ladies afterwards.. We will all wear black thongs as a mark of respect too...
Please give as much notice as you can when you get a confirmed date, most of us will have to rearrange hospital/doctor appointments..

stickywicket

Perhaps the black thongs could bear a tastefully embroidered letter 'I' as a mark of respect.

ichabod6

That's a very gracious suggestion.

tjt6768

reckon we could do that. Lol
Although you do realise that if we turn around and bend over it'll say I-O!!! We're not the seven dwarves you know :shock:
