Sadly, my wife's father has died at a rather inconvenient time. I say this because in late November, some chums from the Raffles Club and I like to go on a boating expedition for a couple of weeks. We have a rip-roariously good time with gin, pork and ludicrous wagers.
Now this damned funeral. Would I be wrong in not attending? I want to go and have merriment on a boat, not sit there pretending to be mournful, for pity's sake. How can I get out of it?
