Adverts for cremation

Really put me off

Who wants to be reminded?

It's enough to make me cough.

All red and purple, lilac too,

an antiquated scripts,

From womb to tomb

And is there room

In the graveyard or the crypt?

Surely a rocket would do me good,

Please send me off to Mars

For from such heights

I'd have sweet delights

To dance among the stars.πŸ’₯

I was taken by a comment by Sheila (Garthe) on Don's TV post. I get annoyed at these continuous adverts for gold coins. I'd rather invest in my garden!

Gold coins not tender, worth nothing, minted by a private company, we are given the impression they are worth money. Rubbish

I am a poor sleeper. I watch You Tube until 3 or 4 in the morning - Things like SitCom, films, cricket highlights et al.

The advert on You Tube after midnight used to be scarce - Now who would watch an advert in the wee small hours - mens problems, and women - all manner off rubbish. Including funeral plans at times,

Firms and nutters are are paying good money to advertise, with no audience except people like me. The adverts are frequent and then other adverts from Google, pay to go ad free, Right,

Yep, on posts I take an interest in, I usually read all the replies. That's where I find the gold nuggets.
