Fucking knackered, just spent 3 hours this afternoon with my brother filming interview and stuff with BBC Scotland about my great uncle, going to be a documentary about his remains/discovery evidently. 

 

They'll share it with Look North supposedly and they tipped me off Dig for Britain may be doing an episode as well, so they may be wanting to film with us too. Crikey.

Daughter 1 getting married in 12 days. Been working on a FOTB speech for 3 months and still nothing I like. Fucking dreading it. 
 

Suggestions welcomed :lol: 

 

Use ChatGPT. Put follow Hannah Fry's advice when you give it the prompt. 

 

 

 

Tell it it's a world class comedy speech writer and then tell it a bunch of stuff about your daughter and the groom, and get it to spit out a 3 minute speech. (or however long you want it to go). 

 

It'll at least give you a good starting point.

Great Uncle Gordon KIA at the battle of Loos 25th September 1915, no known grave.

 

Extending Lens hospital in 2020 Several sets of remains found, MoD investigators obviously knew the names of the missing and one was found along with 2 buttons from Newcastle tramways, which was strange for a Scottish regiment, that established a link to the north east and through the generations of the family to me.

 

Great grandfather, when he retired from the army (career soldier and eventually RSM Northumberland Fusileers) became chief inspector of Newcastle tramways and we assume gave Gordon the buttons for luck.

 

DNA confirmed it's Gordon and as we have all his letters from the front and coincidence of the buttons there's a story to be told.

We're 6 months away from Toonpack trying to negotiate an "as seen on The One Show" discount on a hot tub. 

 

Wouldn't have one of them for free, human fucking soup, disgusting things.

It's not the most obvious suggestion for a father of the bride speech but it might just work...

My FiL finished with an excellent joke and I don't remember anything else about the entire speech.

He had us (and all the other couples in the room) face each other and take each others hands, look into one anothers eyes. "...through thick and thin, always remember that statistically, you're now looking at the person most likely to murder you"

And I'm going to remind you all that the discord exists.
