You could always list out your achievements and go for something like this:

They missed off scaramouching.

A lady I know played the part. Hope you and LP are trundling through parenthood.

We are up to our eyeballs in being grandparents. The trip to the (next to) Wobbledom houses are seriously tedious.

The ruddy GPS keeps wanting us to trundle through all sorts.

We just ignore it and hit the A3 westbound.

I'm so glad I do not live in London anymore. Breath of fresh air up here.

Plus the value of bits and pieces has rocketed in Norfolk.

Cash for the grand-kiddiwinks. The poor people trying to buy first time is impossible without help.

Hope you can bung a bit of stuff to your own.

Go on. Have bit of a punt. Visit our lovely Town.

'appen, fellow flatlander.

Always fancied those Tibetan Buddhist jobbies, where your corpse is left in the mountains to be picked clean by vultures.

When I said that to TCMB (11 years younger & considerably healthier, so she'll have the job one day), she said "that's disgusting!"

"But, darling, it won't be me, just a vessel that's no longe-"

"fudge that, Benthos - once I'm free of you, the last thing I'll want to do is drag your virulent carcass half way round the world and then all the way up a mountain. The nearest skip, if I had my way!"

You'd not think that there could be anything more unsettling than Jimmy Saville's gravestone, but seemingly you'd be wrong.

My mother says she wants her ashes scattered in Aegean sea. I always tell that I'll just drop them in the Thames on the basis that they'll get there eventually.

That's what I'm saying.

I did a a recce of our cemetery recently. You have just described most of the content.

Many include a quotation from the bible. I know, for sure, that the interred were of no faith whatsoever, but they lie in consecrated ground.

There is a word for that.

How permanent is a headstone anyway though? 100 years? 150? There are graveyards with old headstones around with no inscription, eventually they get moved.

Tree is a nice idea though, environmentally speaking.

My brother's wife is an expert on headstones, particularly in East Anglia.

Tree is appropriate for me, but there is a vowel missing.

My home address is entitled "Acorns".

That is what we did with my mother and father, though they were both cremated first and the ashes sprinkled in just before the tree was planted in a woodland cemetery just on the edge of the Chilterns

Doesn't that bugger up the Ph of the soil and stunt the tree though, or is cremation ash neutral?
