He will be buried in an upright position also, as his box was carried out they played the "song always look on the bright side of life." The deceased died of brain cancer at 41 and always took a bright side of life attitude even during his battle.
    Wonderful!

    Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say.
    Some things in life are bad,
    They can really make you mad.
    Other things just make you swear and curse.
    When you're chewing on life's gristle,
    Don't grumble, give a whistle!
    And this'll help things turn out for the best
    And
    Always look on the bright side of life!
    Always look on the bright side of life

    If life seems jolly rotten,
    There's something you've forgotten!
    And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,
    When you're feeling in the dumps,
    Don't be silly chumps,
    Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!
    And always look on the bright side of life
    Come on!
    Always look on the bright side of life
    For life is quite absurd,
    And death's the final word.
    You must always face the curtain with a bow!
    Forget…

    Always look on the bright side of life
    Come on guys, cheer up
    Always look on the bright side of life
    Always look on the bright side of life

    Worse things happen at sea you know
    Always look on the bright side of life
    I mean, what have you got to lose?
    you know, you come from nothing
    you're going back to nothing
    what have you lost? Nothing!
    Always look on the bright side of life









    A great song.

    I thought it also contained the words.... "When you think of it, life is full of ****", or vice versa".

    ie. "Life is full of **** when you think of it"

    Cremation for me. Then I want my ashes scattered under my tree up in the High Country, not far from Lovick’s Hut. Hopefully one or two people will remember me with a whisky, other than that don’t care.

    Cheers,
    Jon

    Been to too many lately. The RSL poppy ceremony, where the veterans service is recognised, by his/ her peers, and the coffin escorted by his/ her peers, either to burial or cremation, is a moving ceremony. The last post gets me every time .It's all about respect. whichever way you go.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking
