my missus used to think like that sometimes, always say crap like "i want this song played at my funeral" ... glad i got her outta that though. was as you put it, a little morbid.

i wouldnt have a clue, as long as it meant alot to me. Theres a few songs i love that are a bit sappy, and crappy but still theres meaning behind them that i can appreciate and that i hope i can relate to.

Celine Dion - My Heart will go on (i hate titanic ... and only like this song because i watched a video with it that was based on Final fantasy 8 - a game of which i played when i was a lot younger and related to so much of it.)

Vertical Horizon - Everything You Wanted - or whatever its bloody called. Like it for a good while now.

Enigma - Gravity Of Love ... there is some sick bass durin the song, even though its a "love song" sort of thing, i still love it.

.... every man to his own.... so shuttup :D

(plus i dont think i would want people to listen to rap, dance music etc ... they should be SAD ... i would be DEAD AT THE TIME!)

If you want to get really morbid then have yourself wrapped in tin foil and have the wiggles play "hot potatoe" at your cremation.

But on the more serious note probable something more upbeat at my funeral. I know it will be a sad time but I hate the thought of me bumming people out. I would rather a celebration of my life than a morning of my death.

I think Meredith Brooks Bitch would be appropriate for me.

Nah i know the song i just dont know the name ..... think it maybe a Nickleback son gi dont know shall find out

Came up with:

Julian Lennon - Saltwater (bit sappy, but quite a beautiful song)

Faith no More - Easy

Bob Dylan - Stuck in the Middle (for something a bit more upbeat :D ) ;and

Paul Kelly - Dumb Things

I could add a few more, but that's the short list for now.

Cheers

Rob

I'd love to have "With or without you - U2" and "The day you went away - Wendy Matthews"

I don't know, but I'm one of those people that play sad songs at sad times.

I'd also like to be cremated and have the person closest to me do a huge burnout beside my resting place.

    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
