I don’t do funerals generally (although I will be at my father I laws funeral on Friday for Dr B), but my thoughts will be with you and your family on that day.
For every complex problem in the world, there is a simple and easily understood solution that’s wrong.

Would be good to see other YACFers there.  Funerals are much underrated IMO - everyone only says nice things, there's usually food, and you don't have to bring a present.
Hard work sometimes pays off in the end, but laziness ALWAYS pays off NOW.

Sadly we will be unable to make the trip but Dez and yourselves will also be in our thoughts when we visit Greenhaven just outside Rugby on Saturday 4th to pay our respects to a dear friend who passed away recently.  Family and friends are holding a little remembrance ceremony and planting an oak pole on her grave to match the one on her son's grave which is nearby.

Thanks for that, I would like to join but I'll be a bit late as I have a student booked in at 1 for a short chat.

Apologies. I’ll be on a train.

I had problems watching a funeral live stream on obitus in February 2023, and similar problems watching the playback later.

Thanks for the warning, I'll give it a try and if it's terrible I'll not stress about it. I agree it's unacceptable for a funeral livestream to be poor, it MATTERS.

I think it’s an Apple/Safari/OS/Buffering problem.

Might have been resolved with updates.

Watched most (I found one or two of the eulogies difficult to hear).

Farewell Dez.
