Sluggy's funeral

[BossHogg]

That debris is the North of England.....

I shall think of her tomorrow.

It keeps me in a job.

50 is way too f**ing young to go

I was 11 when cancer took my father at 54. To the 11year old me, he was an old man. To the 64year old me, the 50year old Sluggy was a young woman. Perspective can be a funny thing.

Let me know how it goes guys, I really regret that I cannot get there despite being so close.

I will be toasting her life with a couple of glasses of 'Oeil de Perdrix', a Swiss rosé from just down the hill.
Particularly apt as the name derives from the perceived colour of a female partridge or grouse's eye à l'agonie (just before death).
I'm sure it would be appreciated.

Although I had planned to drive down today for Her Slugness' funeral, I have a number of media interviews today that cannot be moved.

Her Slugness was always interested in and very supportive of my work. I had regular messages from her as I published photos (both here and on FB) telling me how much she enjoyed them, and giving me ideas for other projects. I feel that she would rather I attended today's launch of the exhibition in which my work is featured, and the attending press interest that has been generated. I will take a few moments to pay my own respects in my own way this afternoon.

AdminVortex and I have just pitched up in Darlo, are we meeting before the Crem?

 

[AlienFTM]

Goaty and I are at the station collecting supermatelot. With an hour and a half to go I'm tempted to go straight to the crem. Or go back to the bar at the premier Inn. Wait 5

 

[AlienFTM]

We have supermatelot. We'll chill for 5 and head to the crem. We've heard Bravo bravo and Jarrod will be at the crem about 1410

Please raise a glass for Sluggy. Never met her but enjoyed her posts - especially when she was shredding someone.

@Bravo_Bravo has Jim Reeves in his car, not the long dead singer, the music. Send help.

You're beyond mortal help at this point, try praying.

I’m not asking for requests.

We'll have the police moving us on for laughing too much!

Distinct lack of selfies.

I am disappoint.

I sympathise. Mine was also 54 when his brain tumour won, but I'd got as far as 27. Ma went the next year, not a fun twelve months.

 

[Old Stab]

Did she have a good send off?
Was an Arrse unicorn present?

"Half a dozen" ARRSErs turned up.
@jarrod248 posted a pic here of the promised unicorn:
