I'm absolutely fascinated about how I will pop my clogs. Obviously I hope it isn't stressful or inconvenient to others, and I'd much rather it was some spectacular accident (LiveLeak worthy kind of thing), or some noble deed, than just fading away in my sleep. Not worried about pain too much, it's only in the mind afterall, and shock can be a wonderful thing.
It's almost like the lottery..it could be you...this week!
Any one else?
no! i would like to spend my time errrr not thinking about things i will never find the answer for. life is too short without worrying about death. go ride your bike pal. You WILL die, the chances are you will find out why years before, death think about it then.
My dad once said he wanted to be found on the banks of the river, salmon rod by his side, with a 20Lb fish on the end of the line and the local wench legging it up the bank and hitching her knickers back up.
I'm almost certain to die in a failed attempt to cross the channel after being fired from a cannon.
It's just a matter if time to be honest.
in my sleep i hope, after a nice ride and a nice drink.
When I retire I'm going to take up [url=
Firing[/url] as a hobby. [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anvil_firing#Dangers ]Being crushed by a falling anvil[/url] has to beat slowly rotting in a care home. More fun than golf, too.

I'm not worried in the slightest, did you not read my post?
I want to be killed by a falling grand piano, as I career down the road on my Acme rocket powered roller skates!
It's those totally random deaths that get me, that'd be a good way to go. Part falling off an aircraft/lorry, hit by a flying fish, bitten by a poisonous spider in Homebase, leaning against a window on the 99th floor of the office block that gives way, meteorite strike...
Bitten by a Zombie, than run over by Bill Murray driving a golf buggy.
Nope....I'm gonna live my life completely on my own terms. Love my friends and family and i intend to have absolutely no regrets, when the day comes ill look the reaper in the eye knowing i truly lived the best life i could. Whether its tomorrow or 50 years down the line.
But if its a long lingering illness that's gonna take me then i reckon i will have my own plan for that one.
Little old lady aged about 90,down the road from where i used to live, she was repeatedly told to cut down on smoking cigarettes,one day she was walking down to the shop, and just outside the shop got killed by the van delivering cigarettes as it was reversing, to be near the door, so the driver wouldnt be attacked by thieves, which happened a few weeks earlier.
Nope!
Suffocated to death in my 90's, by a woman half my age sitting on my face... 😆
It's actually something that I try very hard not to think about!
Drowning I guess....I've had a few goes so far.
I'm hoping to get a mention in the Darwin Awards.
My grandad died at 72 heart attack,my dad died at 72 heart attack.
Anyone detect a trend?
I've never tried drugs so a few years ago thought it would be quite fun to go out in a drug fuelled orgy with a few hookers on my 78th birthday.
Think I should get out more....
.... Or perhaps in a bizarre accident in a light aircraft while frantically pursuing a pigeon?

Yeah. Same for my paternal line, except that the age is 65.
😯
Like my grandad, peacefully, in his sleep, not screaming & yelling in terror like his 50 passengers...
I'm not scared of my death .... Just don't want to be there at the time lol....
Seriously..... I'd like to go like a bloke I read about a couple of years ago..... 84 years old ...... Skiing in Chamonix ...... Falls over and bans his head ..... Dies instantly....... What a way to go! ( 'Cept I'd be on a snowboard)

Now that was funny.
this might be selfish but i dont want to die.. i want to see my kids grow become adults share thier joys and be there for the heartbreaks. i hope i m raising potential lifelong friends and i dont want my chance to enjoy that cut short..
I try not to think about it, to be honest. Saw my Mum have stroke at 45 - she recovered. Saw my Dad have a heart attack at 51 - he didn't. He was out on his bike at the time though, so kind of counts as a good way to go, even though it left me in a bit of state for a year or so.
Going back further in family history there's chronic vascular disease and also cancer, so I certainly don't consider myself immune from an unpleasant ending.
My best approach is to try to enjoy the present and stay in good shape (good excuse for a ride)
love count zeros idea. Unfortunately baring a full on accident I kinda know how mine is going to go. 😕
Soon for me hopefully, telly is rubbish tonight.

I don't know, if you did that on your 78th birthday, and it was a "few years ago" then I reckon your doing alright 😉
No , But we did have an odd discussion at work today as to whether the clinic in switzerland could put you to sleep at your request.
If your were in ill health , getting on in years, broke , cripled or just fed up with old age being abit crap .
I don't think too much about how I will die but I do sometimes wonder about the date , in that you pass that day each year without noticing it.
My uncle had a massive heart attack standing at the pub pool table with a pint in one hand and a pool cue in the other, I suppose there are worse ways to go!
Mind you he was only 56 and had been ignoring the warning signs for a while. 🙁
As long as my life is in order, my family are taken care of, then I want it to be quick.
Smothered by an obscenely huge breasted woman is one way to go. Mind you, would they be able to get the coffin lid down after? 
Drowning I guess....I've had a few goes so far.
Now, having read the preface to Perfect Storm, and having done Personal Survival and LifeSaving as a youngster, that's actually my least favorite ending! And with my luck in life I'd spot a new species on the way down!
Nope, not curious in the slightest despite having two as near as possible attempts so far in my 41 years on this lump of earth. If i get diagnosed with some incurable disease or develop some form of terminal cancer or suchlike then i'll go out in blaze of glory or more likely a torrid afternoon with as much drugs as i can shovel down my throat before i lose the ability to wipe my own arse,. I've been through a few 10hr+ operations when i was 19/20 in which i opted to not be resuscitated if there were complications and if the operations were not successful i can honestly say i would have found some way to switch the light off so to speak.
But as for being curious regarding how i will go?, nope....if it is medical then i will make sure i have the final say, if it is accidental or out of my control then it had better be quick or at least give me such an adrenaline rush that i pass out in a state of ecstatic bliss with a flood of serotonin and dopamine to my receptor cells beforehand.
😀
I love life so much, the only way I can imagine that wouldn't be heartbreaking would be to just gradually lose the plot so I don't care any more.
The time, the place, the how? Who knows! We actually walk a tightrope of life or death each and every day!
What I find truly exciting and intriguing is then finding out what comes next. Lives between lives.
This is how I'd like to go...
I'd want to know when and where....so I can make sure that I'm not near the location and asleep at the time 🙂
As a youth my perfect way to pop my clogs was dying of a heart attack at the age of 95 at the vinegar stroke whilst being noshed off by some appropriately endowed voluptuous female (in/famous (you chose) whilst spanking a Lamborghini Countach Quattrovalvole (now I am showing my age! ) at 180mph whilst being chased by the law enforcement agencies of at least three major western democracies, the mafia and the entire Guhugvant interplanetary battlefleet screaming
"you'll never take me alive copper/patrone/ya wee green b'strds!"
after said MI the car coasts to a halt with no casualties... cue hardened crims shedding a tear with the coppers saying "what a guy!"
Bought it on himself really for not wearing a lid...
Suffocated to death in my 90's, by a woman [s]half[/s] quarter my age sitting on my face. 😀
Realistically as long as I don't do anything too silly or get unlucky with an accident I expect it will be a heart attack well before 90, hopefully far enough off to see my daughter grow up and who knows maybe grand kids too.
By my own hand I hope.

This this genius!!!
Man-flu.
Before the night is out.

I have absolutely no doubt what comes next.
I'll bet you a hundred pounds I know what comes next.
On mars.
Fantasising about death is very normal we all do it in one way or another at some points in our lives...sticking it on a forum thats just something else !
As with any fantasy some of them are personal and not to be shared this is one topic that for me is private !
A good friend met his end this morning doing what he loved.. surfing.
Terribly sad as he leaves a wife and young child. But im not sure i would want the unexpectedness of having a heart attack whilst tanking down a trail or paddling back out after a wave. I spose its great for the victim, not really knowing the end has come... so, so tragic for the loved ones left behind.
My dad was diagnosed with cancer and altzheimers on the same day but as he said to me later, " at least I don't have cancer".

I don't know about that... my much-loved grandfather was bed-ridden for nearly a year with heart problems. He seemed to recover though and was up and about, feeling a lot better. He even managed to play a few rounds of golf with his mates before he suffered a sudden heart-attack while out on the course and passed-away on the spot.
Can't think of a better way for him to go. Think we all felt the same, once we got over the initial shock.

Ba dum tish
Ah yes, gotta love Mr. Royston Vasey.
I suspect it will be a combination of starvation and hypothermia.
