The ultmate question - if you died what would you like on your gravestone?

this is one of those questions that has been probably avoided by one and all. it is not meant to be an arguement or debate, just simply what would you like to have on your tombstone!

i like Spike Milligan's "see I told you I was sick"

and a few months ago when Mike got his 350D he did a bit of grave photography, sometimes the graveyard can provide some humour

For me I think it would be "now I can spend some quality time observing" or "could you move to the left your spoiling the view"

hehe - when I saw your thread title Houghy I thought of the spike milligan one - then viewed and there it was LOl - that is a classic tho

couple of other classics would be
for the feisty even in death .. "What are You Looking at?
take a picture it lasts longer"

and the party animal classic
"came here for a good time,
not for a long time"

I would either have

I am wake
The Swan is flying
Gold against blue
An Arrow is lying.
There is hunting in heaven
I Sleep safe until tomorrow.

The moon belongs to me
The best things in life were free,
The stars belong to me,
They are there for me to see
