His group of mates were spread around a paked crem, mad John, (a blue, but not how he got the name) a lovealbe but unstable sort of guy, the type of mate you know will either end a night out in tears, needing an arm round the shoulder, or in a cell because he got into a fight, anyway he had been particularly affected by Andys death and wasnt doing well, the story needs that bit of context. So the crem goes silent, that awful moment, the curtains open and the coffin starts to roll (is that really necassary fuck!), then the music kicks in, of course it is...YNWA. Under his breath but clearly audible, even from the other side of the room, from mad John...oh for fucks sake.....and a little ripple of laugher spreads round the church. Noddy would have fuckin loved it! RIP.

It was chosen because he was a big Liverpool fan and he wpildhave wanted it.
I couldnt bring myself to sing it and had to manage my myself because I simple hate the whole bloody thing.
I’m kinda embarassed by the reaction, it was a funeral, he was a good guy and it was sad day. But I was busy in my head with football BS…
Id probably act exactly the same way now - 10 years on

Happy New Year all. Hope everyone had a good Christmas. Eagerly awaiting the latest in a long series of Forever Blue+ ballot rejections this afternoon...
Here's a quandrary for you. The Male Voice Choir of which I have happily been a member for 20 years has just decided that we are going to learn and perform a certain dirge from the Rogers & Hammerstein musical 'Carousel', later made popular by Gerry and the Pacemakers and of course our faeces-flinging cousins.
