I always thought Stone Roses - I am the resurrection would be sort of funny and egomaniacal at the same time.


I did have a mate who managed to get himself killed in his car, he was always a bit of a nutter behind the wheel.

His parents asked us to suggest a piece of music he really liked for the funeral. We pondered for ages, hovering between Muddy Waters, or Booker T's Soul Limbo (too upbeat really) among others.

In the end we plumped for some Doors, and went with Riders on the Storm.

Of course everyone blanched as Jim Morrison launched into the line:

"There's a killer on the road"


Doh!!!

Disco Inferno already lined up for my cremation. Burn baby burn!


More seriously - have to be a choice between Ike Quebec playing Blue and Sentimental - probably a bit long, bit cheesy by title, but a good tune to sob to - and the Cowboy Junkies' Lost my Driving Wheel - should have all my loved ones bawling their eyes out. Just need to start saving up to make sure I can cryogenically freeze them, then thaw them out to play it live.

I'm liking the "I see a darkness" call - I think I prefer Oldhams backing vocal on the Cash cover



Did I read somewheer that "don't Stop Me Now" is actually quite a popular choice at funerals? - Come on Tillie, more originality


I've just thought "Do You Realize?" by the Lips might be a good choice too

Aah, the earworm returns. It has to be one of the most covered songs of all time


and for good measure here's that cute version.


Aaaanayway, back to dying...

"I do my crying in the rain" would be a good one if I pop my clogs this summer.

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day. 
    • GP not willing to refer you on? Say, to King's or similar. Odd
