chrisg 728 Posted September 14, 2019 t was a race to say what took my mum, the death certificate list went damned near a page but officially pneumonia first. Either way she really did not want to go but in the end her body left her no option. If you believe in an after-life, personally I fence sit, she probably did not exactly make my dad's day, assuming they wound up in the same place ... Great lady in many ways, easy to live with, no...

scruffy1 1,047 Posted September 16, 2019 noooo... the cars debut album still gets a loud airing here frequently, and they were very much a band of their moment in the late 70's the rest of their work never quite grabbed me the same, but i guess that's how novelty works i must say i didn't think he would be that much older than me, but i guess i was still a youngster when they erupted onto the international music arena rip (and "bye bye love") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On another note, it seems News.com is the only of the main sources that bothers to have a proper dedicated Entertainment section on their news page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eveln 1,218 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, scruffy1 said: the resulting fragmentation would leave him to rot in pieces though where in a burial plot like usual ? I just thought it would be nice to incinerate, or something of the kind that makes absolutely no remains at all, would be even nicer. I know his piddley rotting self would leave barely a mark in the soil after it had broken down, but I'd rather it didn't break down in this earth. @Rybags thought is on the money too. I know his family might like a remembrance of him, so perhaps they could organise something at the family home. Maybe decades on from now the ghouls will like to visit it Edited October 30, 2019 by eveln Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
