Sounds like something the One show might come up with, possibly while discussing Thomas Hardy.

Nah, not chilling at all. If there's one thing we can't avoid, it's death. Why worry about the inevitable. Might was well enjoy whatever time you have left, long or short!

Although those we leave behind might choose to remember us, if we've been nice ... my dad died 23 yrs ago, and now (since re-taking up cycling) I mark his death (he was a good man, and is still missed) by taking myself off for 2 days cycling....
