    Bit like TT's mate with the tank, iv'e got a 14 x 8" birch snare drum that my ashes will fit into, only half the price of a polished pinebox, already paid for, and meantime it has a daily practical use, we will then both (and the neighbours) rest in peace.

    Anyhoo don't forget to add to calendar 19th May, 27th July, and 31 August.

    Yeah, the plan was a tad ambitious - and flawed.

    The thought of a loud drunken wake ending with an award winning riot that makes Te News would be nice, but I don't care what's done with me when I'm dead.

    I'm not going to see it anyway.

    How's about this?


    "Not Even Death Can Stop Him From Riding
    How much do you love riding? Probably not as much as this guy did. David Morales Colon, 22, was shot to death April 22 in Puerto Rico. For his wake, Colon was embalmed and mounted on his Honda CBR600F4i with full Repsol colors.

    The work was performed by the Marin Funeral Home in San Juan, which also made headlines two years ago for presenting the embalmed body of Angel Luis “Pedrito” Pantojas Medina standing up in the corner for his own funeral."

    I suppose, if you are already dead, ATGATT becomes a wee bit irrelevant.

    Apparently the local WinTec in Hamilton have run a course on making your own coffin.

    If I knew I would be in this house until I died, there might be some merit in making my own. On the other hand, if forced into a retirement home, they might be a bit upset at me leaving my own coffin leaning up against the wall in the hall outside the room.

    Just had a thought re the rest home, upholster the lid, fit a set of castors, and you have your own 'take anywhere' settee.

    How would one go as a coffee table, kids toy box, storage ??

    I have a vague plan to make my own casket and paint it with an appropriate paint so people can write or draw things on it ... jokes, pictures. I want people top have a bit of a laugh when I go.
