I vaguely remember, aged around six, asking for a "Penny for the Guy" after making one and sticking him outside our front door. Our garden was too small for a bonfire so we didn't burn him, but Dad set off a box of fireworks. I burned my hand picking up a dead sparkler; taught me a valuable lesson!

    I've been reminded of the funeral of a friend's father-in-law, where there was a rather excellent mix-up with the service music. (www.youtube.com)
     

    Apparently, 'The Blue Danube' by Johann Strauss was requested for the Arrival, specifically the version played during the film '2001 - A Space Odyssey'.

    What they actually got was a piece of music by Richard Strauss called 'Sunrise' (taken from 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra'), which was the film's main theme.

    The thought still makes me giggle: imagine the pall bearers walking solemnly into the crematorium to the sound of this awesome rendition!
