Drummed out!

[Caran]

Have you ever been drummed out of anywhere/thing. I have, in the late 60's I was drummed out of the WI because I was divorced. We do not have people like that in our Institute.
A friend of ours was drummed out of the Brownies because she went the wrong way round the toadstool.
How about you?

It's amazing how threads evolve isn't it, from drumming out to funerals, amazing isn't it.but that is the diversity of Answerbank.

I knew a nice priest once Doug. Ran off with the girl up the road and became a folk singer in L.A.
Queen for me too Carandrog. Redhaired Mary. Green Fields of France. My entrance song is a surprise to start with a smile. Had lots of Irish and songs from Les Mis for OH.

Just what I was thinking C. But you and I could be drummed out of the funeral parlour and there`s the link to your title.

Well thought out gness (where does your name come from if i may be so bold?)

[gness]

Gness? MY favourite tipple I`m afraid. Best drunk in Dublin.

You can have any kind of funeral you like now. As I am an atheist I shall not want any stupid words said over me. A celebration of my life perhaps. We shall see (but obviously I won't).
My friend married a Catholic in the local Register Office. The nuns came round regularly and harassed her, accusing them of living in sin. She ignored them. Her husband was a womaniser and she eventually divorced him, so the nuns got their way, sort of.

No, I haven't, but I love the 'wrong way round the toadstool'! How funny! :o)

(Don't suppose it was funny for the little girl though. A pretty stupid decision if you ask me!).

I'm house sitting and my sis and bil's place in london and they are back home later but they've got it on the market and have a viewing in about an hour. They way my bil was concocting ideas for where I should leave the keys when I leave (they're sisters and she will need them back) made me get the string feeling he didn't want me here when the agent shows up to do the viewing. I might sprawl out on the sofa in my pjs and surround myself with empty wine bottles and fag packets when they arrive just in spite of him now ;)

A bit late to join the thread carandrog but I'm with you with Albatross. Whenever I hear it I picture the video played on Top of The Pops years ago with an Albatross wheeling about in the sky in tune to the music. That's a definite for my funeral.
