One of the most horrible sensations must be that of knowing that death is imminent in a short time - i.e. being in a plane that is plummeting to earth, on a craft that is about to sink at sea or in a lift cage that has broken etc.
Per contra, one sees people going calmly to execution ...(perhaps drugged ?)and people taken out to be summarily slaughtered by e.g. Taliban terrorist madmen seem to remain composed without any outward signs of mental turmoil. Is it possible that the brain 'freezes' at the enormity of the realisation of what is to befall -that though you might be in perfect health and the day might be fine and sunny -someone is going to blast you to nothingness for no discernible reason. Death is a mystery....so many types -infant death , (freak) accident, drowning, suicide ,murder ,slow gradual decline ,painful death, peaceful death after a serene old age etc. |

I remember the good old days on here crags. The banter could go on into the wee small hours with the likes of TGM (mr winkle,) TT, Sparky
 and many others for a good laugh. Sadly these days are gone but may return some day. |

I can't remember who said it on the thread Vubiant but he said he had seen quite a few dead people and they always seemed to have a smile or a content look on their face.

When you're young you think life as immortal but as you grow older you get to know more people and more people you love are born.
When people around you start dropping off and especially those younger than you it really gets you. When it's family and close friends then it really hurts. I don't think I'd want to be immortal unless my family and friends were also. Dying scares me but I know once I'm dead that it, the same as it was before I was born. As mentioned above it's the process of dying that is the worry. I said to my wife and kids that I hope my body is donated to medical science. I've always loved the science and would like to give something back to our species. |

I know that chit chat is almost beyond repair, but there is a small hope that it can survive.
Sensible people should be able to spot the good from the rancid x |

I used to post on here regularly in the good old days lads. Seems to me there is a bit of dislike here and there now. I don't take sides as it is meaningless to me.
I've had many a ruck on here myself going back 8-10 years ago but all water under the bridge eventually. I remember asking Tommy Toes on the pub thread about a year ago why Sparky had stopped posting. He told me that Sparky thought the place had gone downhill. Christ, it's only a forum. Live and let live I say. |

This is a very deep subject to discuss stewarty b
Do any of us know how we will face death until it is staring us in the face? It is definitely a one and only experience, that is for sure! |

tbf Facts I know a lot of people don't like you on here or horseracing but you have never given me any lip. It's not that I'm grateful just nice to converse with someone on the same level with me at times.
If you think being unpopular with some is a burden, fear not. What it really means is that you've made it to the top on any forum. |

By:
Thanks Stewart.Trust me, I will never get worried about being unpopular on an Internet forum.

the only surprising thing about death is that everyone is not running about screaming.

By:
Death is not a pleasant subject. It is the worst thing that there is. The saddest thing about death is that most people never live, they just exist.
In this land of milk and honey It will be the first real instinctual moment for most after being born. |

You die, you turn to dust. Enjoy the journey.

"And when I do go it's a humanist funeral for me. I may be a lot of things but I'm no hypocrite."
But the funeral isn't for you? If you don't believe in any religion then when you are die you are gone. So you wont be at your funeral. Isn't the funeral for the people left behind rather than yourself? Isn't it more important for the funeral to help others come to terms with your death as best they can? Shouldn't they decide how it is and not you, after all you don't exist anymore so it can't make any difference to you. Also if once you are gone you simply don't exist any more it doesn't matter what people think of you. It shouldn't make any difference if they do think your a hypocrite or not as you don't exist so it is of no consequence. |

My sentiments entirely U.A.
My wife is a devout church-going Christian. If it helps her I don't mind if she sees fit to have her minister preside over a ceremony. Her choice entirely. Non fui, fui, non sum, non curo |

It shouldn't make any difference if they do think your a hypocrite or not as you don't exist so it is of no consequence What family I have left and my friends know my beliefs and respect them. As for Foinavon's wive being a devout church-going Christian she has my utmost respect as everybody on this planet has a right to believe in what they want to. Re: Christianity I only wish more people could embrace that kind of life. ie: be kind to each other, help one out if possible etc. As for religion itself I have no time for it due to the havoc it has caused in this world and that includes the many wars that have been started in the name of religion. HTH as I don't like being judged by anybody who knows damm all about me. |

My local crem has em backing up waiting to get in the ovens. Two chapels doing about six funerals each a day. As one goes out the back the next one is coming through the front, the ovens never get time to cool down. Makes you realise what an industrial process it is. Takes the sentimentality out of it somewhat.
