Great Aunt Anothercold1...
As mad as a sack of badgers. At a family funeral in January, quite a solemn affair after the death of the patriarch of the family (for this is usually when funerals occur following a death that is), the mad old mare, from across a crowded room of mourners, stands up and shouts to my dad "Fuckin' good beer this!" and sits back down. to stunned silence. And me and my brother wetting ourselves.

» My most treasured possession

not very exciting but...
2 rings, one a solid silver belt buckle ring given by my mam to my granda for his silver wedding anniversary, and the one my granda gave back to say thank you, which is a one of a kind, its a 2 shilling piece (i think, old silver big coin), hollowed and boared out into a ring.

My mam said she's never worn hers cos it didn't fit, and my granda gave his back to her on his deathbed and said he wanted the two rings to stay together (sounds at once lord of the rings, and also a bit gay), but the day after he died, my mam came to me and said that no matter what they had to be together. so I wore them for a while, now they're on a chain in my drawer.

Both are a bit of a mess now, the belt buckle one was worn everyday for 30 odd years, and the other one is an old coin. so go fig.


Now for the pun... I think I might polish my mam's ring tomorrow...
