Tempting, but I think it would have been in bad taste to write something bad on a tombstone.

Still, I think of Spike Milligan, who has "I told you I was ill", "Duirt mé leat go raibh mé breoite", in Irish! (They wouldn't allow it in English, it is hidden behind the flowers in the picture)

p.s. Why can't I get frigging images into the posts anymore?!

I remember reading about that a while back - his daughter was on TV and said she just hoped that the translation was right as none of the family speak Irish.
