This list was published recently:

Code:
1. Goodbye My Lover - James Blunt
2. Angels - Robbie Williams
3. I've Had the Time of My Life - Jennifer Warnes and Bill Medley
4. Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Midler
5. Pie Jesu - Requiem
6. Candle in the Wind - Elton John
7. With or Without You - U2
8. Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
9. Every Breath You Take - The Police
10. Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers

Source: The Bereavement Register

Not that I am thinking of dying in the near future but this list piqued my interest...

Have you given any thoughts as to what you'd like played at your funeral ?


Here are some of the comments from the readers of the BBC website.

The thought of James Blunt being played at my funeral has made me redouble my efforts to find the elixir of eternal life.
Ian :crylol:


My brother is determined to have a Clash song at his funeral - Should I Stay Or Should I go?

  One step too far
Posted by: gwasi - 05-10-2006, 12:39 PM - Forum: A little more personal - No Replies

As some of you are aware I've been having some trouble with a work colleague and her racist comments about all who are not Welsh. She has taken it a step too far and I'm at a loss for words, everything.

She has become bitter about the promotion i got but i have kept my head down and ducked everytime she was in a bad mood. Was not going to let her get to me.
Last night my partner came in after being blasted from his ex. Rumours have been doing the rounds about how i hate my Step daughter and don't want her at the house and resent her.None of which is true. I do love her and its her mother that rarely has her. When asked who said these things partner was told. Am shocked that someone can do this, its not work that is being interfered with but homelife. I have sat here today and said nothing. I don't want to say a anything, it'll get twisted and passed on to the ex. I live 20 miles from the ex but its like a small village - full of imbreds and everyone knows everyone. I want to leave. I really want to leave. Just go. Partner does not want to rock the boat so the abuse is hurled. I don't want to take it anymore. I want to take this :curse: and throttle her, very slowly. As for the ex she is so narrow minded that she believes all that is told and as i've been told i am wrong as I am an outsider. The truth has been told and even though i and partner know the truth I just want out. Move out and away from this place and go somewhere where i can be anonymous and not have to worry who is watching and who is a bunny boiler. I just want my life back.

If I go then i will have to go alone as partner will not leave his daughter - not that i expect him to. its not an easy choice to make

  GED computers stolen
Posted by: Darkwing - 03-10-2006, 06:37 PM - Forum: Southern Africa - No Replies

Several months ago my aunt who works in the Gauteng Education Department in JHB, was taken hostage along with many of her co workers. the armed hostage takers were disgruntled employess, bus drivers, with a gripe about pay. it only lasted a few hours but traumatic none the less.
http://www.mg.co.za/articlePage.aspx?art..._national/
old news but just just for reference.

Last night, shortly after she left the GED offices, 20 armed men entered the building, tied up and beat the guards and stole all the computers in the 7 story office block...except for the ones in the finance department. (that part, strangely, is not in the news)
They were done and gone by 23:00

makes sense to leave the finance department's computers, they obviously want to make sure they still get paid.
