I always say hell yeah. That's my standard response to all circumstances and situations.

Doesn't play well at funerals. Although I was once caught out miming the hymns at a funeral (the whole of the front row broke down in tears and I was left there mouthing the words like a bellend as no musical sound came from our part of the room). That also doesn't play well at funerals.

35.

by Brass Monkey Thu 12 Jul 2012, 16:25

Well yeah, you've got to mime. I sang at the last funeral I went to and it went down worse than I could've imagined. Still, it was a Catholic one - they take that shit seriously. They also didn't like that I didn't go up to eat and drink Jesus. In my defence I hate wafers, hate wine and I'd already a fry-up and a couple of doubles so I was content. Well, not content, but you know....

35.. Oh dear. You now belong to Lever and his chavvy sex pit in the middle of Scottish nowhere.

35's not the cut off point. For women, sure - they're finished.

But men are barely in their prime.

It's awkward when everyone starts crying at funerals. Am I supposed to be crying too? Does it reflect badly on me that I'm not? I don't really want to throw a handful of dirt onto the casket - that kind of grime stays under your nails for weeks.

Is it wrong that while everyone else is getting rained on in their mourning suits, I've got my fluorescent ski jacket on with the hood pulled up?

by Brass Monkey Thu 12 Jul 2012, 18:31

I was only joking about the over 35 thing - I mean, I'll be there in four years and I'm not going to past my prime! OK, I'm likely to be dead but I'm 'rockstar' like that.

As for crying at funerals, you cry by accident surely? I mean, we're not Americans, we don't cry on purpose. I cried last year at my uncle's funeral, I lasted the service OK, but then it sank in. I did it in a very British way though, covered my face, tried my best to keep it in. Then had a fog and three or four doubles. The other three I went to last year, I didn't cry at. I didn't feel bad about it as such - one just keeps ones head down.

You still do the burial bit there?

by Brass Monkey Thu 12 Jul 2012, 19:16

Oh golly, no, we leave them in the street.

Was being a bit serious. Mostly cremation here.

by Brass Monkey Thu 12 Jul 2012, 19:38

Hmmm... the last four I've been to have been cremations. I may go the burial route... I'm a heavy f*cker - that'll f*ck over whoever's having to carry me.

I wouldn't have any idea what the burial to cremation ratio is over here., but I'd hazard a guess that burials still win out.

Although if the weather stays like this, we might as well just let them all float out to sea in future - cut out the middle man.

S02E05 - Interesting developments.

Who's your fave skulls? IMO Daryl's the man. Especially after having Merle for a brother.

by skully Fri 13 Jul 2012, 12:18

Damn straight, Dan. Daryl IS THE man. Dale's pretty cool, T-dog's a grin and I like Glenn's enthusiasm. Andrea needs a good slap.

by Brass Monkey Fri 13 Jul 2012, 12:20

Aye, Dale's a nice bloke - T-Dog's a bit of a pissy-knicks and TBH I'd probably just shoot Andrea and use her as walker bait.

by LeFromage Fri 13 Jul 2012, 12:26

T-Dog's a bit of a fan favourite on account of how little he features. They celebrate his one line per show and the quality that he deliveres it with.

by Brass Monkey Fri 13 Jul 2012, 12:31

Really?

Fair enough, I suppose. His character doesn't seem to be that developed but I reckon he's got a callous, sneaky side.

That's your unconscious racism talking. You probably think he's going to steal your women too.

Yeah ,after he's taken her corpse to the bedroom to "erm, you know, prepare her for the whole... bait thing... can you catch the virus through your penis? Unrelated question. Just curious. Curious to know. Be prepared... anyone got any condoms? Again, unrelated. Just fancied a water bomb fight. No? Fine. It's cool. It's cool..."

Damnit. I thought I'd got away with it. I just thought what with the leaving Merle there and numerous other things, it's just a 'vibe' I got. Not his sort of 'vibe', obviously, I haven't got his level of rhythm.

Are you being deliberately stupid? I'd rape her at gunpoint and then shoot her.

Hmm, then I'd probably do her again whilst the walkers were hobbling towards us.. almost like the ultimate danger wank.

by LeFromage Fri 13 Jul 2012, 13:44

Frankly, T-Dog was dead to me the moment he somehow managed tear off half his arm on a stationary car door.

This guy is not an asset, I said to myself.

Oh, Shane-style. The world goes to shit and the first thing you want to do it get all handsy.

You're a lover not a fighter. And that's why you're out of my team of survivalists.

So we agree - he's a bad day for black people.

I agree, alls he does is flail around nearly crying, thinking duplicitous thoughts. He's scrapped.

Oh, no. No. Just her. Just to teach her a lesson. Before I killed her. You know how it is with women, rape's the only way to get through to them.

by skully Fri 13 Jul 2012, 14:05

Oi, spoiler tags please, Dello. I'm working my way through S2!! Or was T-Dog's half arm rip-off his injury on the highway earlier?

S02E06 - raw emotion.
