    Talking get buried in your team colours

    heard on the radio that reading F.C. in england have given permission for their colours and club crest to be reproduced on "die hard" (sorry bout that) coffins of their supporters when they croak it.

    can't see it catching on here folks................

    This is indeed true.
    Reading FC have given permission for a local undertaker to produce burial caskets in the clubs colours.
    The club will get a small fee for each coffin sold and donate that money to charity.
    A bit tacky? Probably, but I've seen worse.

    Might overpower the smell of crappy meat pies and bovril, though

    Just one step up from having a national flag or jersey placed on your coffin. Why anyone feels like they need to go one step up is horrible though!

    I'm planning on writing my will soon and am going to get cremated. Some of the ash will be spread in The Curragh Grounds, some ash in St. Mel's and the ash representing my schlong will be deposited in Offaly - terrific and willing girls, there, bless 'em.

    Sounds like a plan hamish. As for me, it's too hard to say. I'd like to die in a cold place so my body will turn blue and that'll be Chelsea covered. Then I'd ask (in my will, obviously) to have my hair dyed green to cover Bray and Eire.

    LOL You'll probably be a bit green anyway superfrank when the decomposition hits in - all bases covered. Save your relatives expense on die.

    Meant to mention Curragh Grounds is Beeslow's......er...... stadium.

    TBF, superfrank, you left yourself wide open to that slag, Schumi got there first.

    I, of course, wouldn't DREAM of slagging off The Carlisle Cemetary oops, sorry, Grounds

    Sorry, couldn't resist. Superfrank.

    Go on, go on, go on, Superfrank. Push yourself. After all, a good slag is a good slag, even at our expense.

    It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round and those people eventually need burying.
