As I go straight down to Hell

I want the theme tune to countdown as i'm lowered down. Seriously!

Personally, if I had my way, I would want my body thrown onto the nearest bonfire and have done with it.

I would not want to be buried and have people visit my grave, wasting their time talking to a piece of stone and a few bones under the ground. Or being cremated and having my ashes stuck in a pot on the mantle-piece. What a waste of time that would be.

Just get on with life and remember the good times. Spend the money that it takes to dispose of my body (in whatever way) on something that they have always wanted but couldn't justify spending the money.

If music was to be played, then I guess it would have to be "Don't Worry, be happy by Bob Marley, with everyone sharing around the biggest hugest joint.

I want to be cremated and blown out of a exhaust in to the wind on the top of Porstdown Hill...

I haven't really thought about the music for it... maybe the noise of a nice v-twin would be enough.

That one paragraph says volumes about how fun loving and laid back you are Ape. Great insight into your mindset. Does sound like a great way to go though.

Me personally,

1. Knocking on Heavens Door - G'n'R
2. Sweet Child O Mine - G'n'R
3. Something lively that makes them smile with the irony and laugh at the memory.

thats as far as ive got with the planning.
