I think Robert Frost said it best:

And were an epitaph to be my story
I'd have a short one ready for my own.
I would have written of me on my stone:
I had a lover's quarrel with the world.


And he did.

Thank you for your interest RooK. I would have been hard to dust, but since I shaved my beard last weekend I expect to attract less dust.

Information for bidders -
Bidding will not formally open until my actual demise. The reason for this is that as a heterosexual male I prefer not to be stuffed or mounted at this time. However, pre-bidding is encouraged. I may opt to set a "Buy It Now" option for this auction if I can work out what my wife would take for me.

I'd like to bid, but I'm actually interested in an immediate purchase. I just need to ask a few questions first:

Are you any good at ironing?

What do you cost in terms of up keep?

Do you have any allergies?

Any objections to sleeping in a shed?

Thanks for your continued interest, David.
quote:
Are you any good at ironing?
Fair, but I am not much good with a wood. My putting is marginal.
quote:
What do you cost in terms of up keep?
I would expect that you could get by with touching up the varnish once a year, and perhaps slapping on a coat of bottom paint every other year.
quote:
Do you have any allergies?
Only to the aforementioned stuffing and mounting.
quote:
Any objections to sleeping in a shed?
Why would I start objecting now?

By the way, my wife has indicated that since she has no idea what I'm good for, she has no idea what to charge for me. I'm not sure what that means...

Scot, would it be possible to get you on a two week trial? I can provide an address if your wife would like to invoice me.

Getting back to the gravestone thingy, apparently Billy Connelly's plan is to have a large concrete slab laid over his grave.

His epitaph will be printed in very small font, slap bang in the middle so visitors will have to clamber on top and get very close to read: "you're kneeling on my balls". [Yipee]
