We should demonstrate our affection for the deceased by using a Workmate as
a ladder, attempting to change a lightbulb and then spending all night in
casualty. It's what he would have wanted.

I expect he died rich. I expect the skiving git was in Jersey to avoid
paying taxes.
I have just bought another Workmate. My fourth I think it will be.
