    I know and on the solemn topic of a wasps funeral too. It’s unbelievable.
    So that’s a no to catering at the wake then, not even the little iced cup cakes and a cup of tea?
    Well iced cakes will attract a good number of the deceased's friends and relatives, I guess.

    5. What is the oldest bit of clothing you own?

    My dear old mum’s red wooly hat and brown suede boots that she wore when she had her final heart attack. 💐

    People don't show up at a wake for the tea.

    It's the free booze. Single-malt scotch with a bottle of spring water on the side, please.

    They won't allow me to form another political party.

    😞
    Why would you form another one? You and Lord Sutch already formed one, right? Ban parking meters. Free beer for all.

    Dear Mr. Bus,
    We at the Monster Raving Loony Party are outraged at your claim that the Ghost is a founding member of our party. Although it may be true that he was the inspiration for many of our policies, especially those involving reusable socks and bacon, he is in no way affiliated with our party. We look forward to receiving your cheque for 1200 pounds towards our future plan of illegalizing curtains.

    Mr. Wibble Wibble

    Yeah that’s how to start a fight at wake, it’s not a proper wake without a kick off. We could compromise and drink cider with enough iced cakes for a bun fight.

    1. Wasp census. (Somehow we need to get all the wasps to go back to their original hives to register). Hands off, sounds like a sting to me.
    2. When did you last see a donkey? I see a jackass in the Oval Office. Does that count?
    3. Who has the most cash down the back of the sofa competition. (Ponderable to adjudicate). Hey, I finally found my car keys!
    4. Best thing to come out of the 80's. Dire Straits.
    5. What is the oldest bit of clothing you own? Guy Fawkes’ socks; family heirloom, long story.
    6. Weirdest thing you've eaten? Rattle snake. It slithered across my path along the John Muir Trail.
    7. Weirdest person you've dated? I was probably the weirdest person someone else dated, clone of Garth from Wayne’s World: “At first underwear is scratchy and uncomfortable, but then it becomes part of you.”
    8. Piccalilli. Never tried it, so no opinion. Diffrent strokes for diffrent folks, I reckon.

    There are little pieces of cauliflower in Piccalilli.

    I'm not messing with you.

    You are a woman of exquisite taste though I prefer mine, "au naturel. Cet a dire, sans eau".
