Compliments

[Colwyn]

In a recent thread there was discussion of the nicest CBF member. One of Scunner's contributions was that he would rather be thought funny than nice. So I was wondering - what compliment would you most like to be paid? In particular, as part of your obituary. Now, if you answer this, your reply could disclose quite embarrassing insight into your interior world. Just to show that I am willing to subject myself to this potential humiliation, I offer up my own vanities. I would be happy with:


On the forum - " I totally disagreed with everything he posted but at least he wrote it well".
In my 'political' life - "He used humour as a deadly weapon".

[Scunner]

Mrs Scunner jokes (at least I think it's a joke) that she is going to have my Calis/Fethiye night out line carved on my headstone - simply "Just one more"   

Funny is a wonderful thing to be called, I take that as a great compliment, and nice is of course always a pleasant thing to be thought of as. I haven't any witty or clever lines for my gravestone to offer - but if there is one compliment I'd hope to be remembered with it wouldn't be funny, or nice, it would be to be complimented that I cared. Because that is essentially what all this has always been about.

Mine would be..

"He took all the lampooning rather well"

[Scunner]

To which I would add

"Not that he had much choice"

[Highlander]

"One day, I swear, one day"

My mum told me that she'd left a space under my dad's name on his headstone for her to be added "as and when". This would save unnecessary costs she explained. I asked her if she'd get her name added now and we could just stick the date in
