The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in Saggart, Co Dublin this afternoon.
He sure was phat.

“The gold plated coffin carrying the remains of Andy Connors, known in the press as Fat Andy. Mr Connors was shot at his family home around the corner from the Church on August 20. The coffin reportedly cost €28,000 and was imported from England.”

Mother of Bling! That’ll be stolen.
Cash for gold.
Thomas Gear will have to work overtime.
I’ll have to dig out my shovel.

Yeah this is obviously going to be stolen.
Indirectly paid for by some terrorised old-man living alone in rural Tipperary.

Seriously though – spot on. Cheeky Chappies like this thug prey on the week

That’s a straight-up two fingers to Neil Fallon’s sentiments in ‘Electric Worry’
Doctor or lawyer, I’ll never be.

Oh I must have stumbled onto the Indo website.
Very tasteful. All in this season I heard.
Yes it was McQueen diamond encrusted skulls last season.
Anyone have the loan of a mini digger?
Brilliant, I foresee a Mexican standoff next week in Saggart.

Guess you really can take it with you when you’re gone
Only a matter of time before Damien Hirst is commissioned to do a piece.
I don’t see what all the fuss is about. I buried both my Mum and Dad in gold plated coffins with platinum name plates, that now retail for about 40K a piece.
Cheapskates if you ask me.
woops, sorry Scottser – you got there first
great minds and all that :)
To paraphrase Father Ted: With something like this, it would be so easy to make it look cheap and tacky. But just look at him there…. Pure class.

When i die just leave my body in the woods, with a stick so i can fend off animals.
The funniest thing about it is that when archaeologists dig him up a thousand years from now, they will decide that he was some kind of king!
Yeah.. King Kanute.. Or King K*nt
Nice man from CAB should seize that coffin.
Exactly! Tried making that point earlier on here but I referred to the late Mr Connors in somewhat pejorative terms. Just imagine the amount of fear, heartache and nuisance associated with how these assh*les generate the cash to buy sh*t like this..
He was called fat Andy by his traveller peers. They tend to use the same names and come up with nicknames to distinguish them. ‘Pale’ millet ‘soft’ miley etc are some of the ones I have come across.
was it encased in concrete the way Jimmy Savilles’ Identicoffin was?
