Did anyone watch the Human Planet last night?

To start with Mrs said 'ooh, I would like a sky burial'. Wasn't so keen once she had found out what one was!

Best thing on TV at the moment.

Yep, I posted on the "Australia not an island" thread.

Gonna be contacting my will people to have mine changed from a woodland burial to a sky burial. What a way to go! 🙂

tie a couple of bricks to me and throw me deep into the ocean, make sure i sink fast so the deep sea creatures get to have a munch.

Thought the undertaker seemed like a character.

Why, what did she think the downside was?

I thought this was a new TV channel.

One of those rare programs that entertains, informs and amazes - Another cracking episode last night.

I actually thought the sky burial was quite a positive idea - empty vessel benefiting others etc. Not much worse than being incinerated really 😕

24 hour re-runs of 6 Feet Under?

I think that the prospect of being dismembered by a drunken Kazakh didn't sit well with her sensibilities. Personally got no problem but I think she was expecting the guy to be catapulted into a volcano or something both epic and cute. 😕

I Reckon you could get a similar result with all the red kites around Princes Risborough and the Chilterns.

Come FC Privatisation, I could buy a little wood and stake peoples bodies out in the open for the Kites to come in and polish off - could be a nice little business venture 😆

was interesting to say the least liked it when he got the axe out

Liked the argument about it being good Karma as well

Seems as good as being nurried in the ground or eaten slowly over time by maggots

Sky Burial?
Is that free with Sky Sports or do you have to pay extra?

Not at all harrowing for your friends and family.

why do people who would essentially be [b]dead[/b] not like the thought of what is happening to them when they're dead? what/who is it that would be having the thought?

I like the idea of a Norse Funeral. Dead me, on a massive boat with all the stuff I treasure (bike, guitar, xbox and mrsbunk). Set it alight and push it off to sea. Beautiful.

😈

Is she dead yet or doesn't it matter?
