I trawled the headings for funeral music/songs and found one from 2007, which didn't feel right to resurrect,

as it had naturally laid itself to rest, so here is a new one, and hope that no one is put out.


As I am destined for the fiery furnace, my choice of song is Soulsavers, with the sonorous voice of Mark Lanegan, joined by the ethereal voice of Red Ghost, representing the spirit, with You will Miss me When I Burn, and to make sure everyone is suitably mollified, as they leave the crematorium sobbing, Barber's Adagio for Strings.


However, if my children defy me and I am in a coffin, I want the Stones 'Can't you hear me knocking?'

hello Otta, it isn't just today !



This is a mood, triggered by waiting at the bus stop outside the Coop funeral directors, absorbing the dullness of it all, po faced men in tall hats and cliched rhetoric, whilst musing - this is a rites of passage for us when a loved one dies, and further musing - why isn't it more spectacular?


Anyway, I thought the last line of my OP was really funny.


I am never going to die, I am only going to fade away.........

    • Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment going in the right direction at the END. 
    • Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse. 
    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.
