RadGuy 1,614 Posted June 12, 2015 I have an interesting conversation idea: When would you hate to die? I'd hate to die the year of a US Presidential Election, before the election... (e.g. January 1, 2016 - November 8, 2016)... I at least want to know who the President will be in the next couple of years after I'm dead. Also, this is a bit obessive compulsive, but I'd hate to die in the 2080s... you see, I was born in 2001, therefore if I die in the 2080s, I'd have lived in all the decades except the 2090s... but I'd rather just go in the 2070s (after missing out on two decades) or earlier because I don't want to live to be an old, grumpy grandpa. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I`m not particularly bothered about the amount of decades I live through is long as it is between 7 and 9 .I wouldn`t like to die just before Christmas as all the hype I would have to endure would then been in vain then again I would be past caring. I would prefer ideally to die instantly of a massive heart attack in my early 80`s on a nice yacht in the meditteranian sea lying on a deckchair in a sailors suit with several playboy bunnies huddled around me with a glass of whisky in one hand and a Cuban cigar in the other.

John Entwistle's death seems like a good one- heart attack whilst bingeing on cocaine with a prostitute. Although personally I'd prefer an obscure and mysterious death in about 20 years time at the most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 13, 2015 I know some are being silly here, but I'll speak more seriously. I always suspected I'd die due to some digestive tract issue, for reasons no one needs bother with. About 16 months ago my outside of my left leg went numb and I suspected a pinched nerve, but doc recently said no, it's a detached vein. I have a few recent vericous issues in that leg as well. Also, it all came to the light when I had very sharp and quick pains in the area of detachment. That said, I'm on my feet most the time (when not in a pub) and it's really not slowed me yet. Anyway, I suspect I'll die of a circulatory problem and at some point I'll stroke out and follow up w a heart attack inside of two years, and all that before I'm 60. I'll be 52 this month. Stop ye fahkin cheering! SirC 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 13, 2015 I'd hate to die during an American football December Sunday, either for fantasy football playoff purposes or the Super Bowl itself ---I can't even imagine, I'd cuss God out to no end not letting me watch my male soap opera finale.

gcreptile 10,978 Posted July 22, 2015 I always wanted to live through 3 centuries, i.e. get born in the 20th century, die in the 22nd century. But I'd have to become 118 years old for that, a bit unrealistic in spite of our progressing medical abilities. I feel relatively confident getting to 90. My only obstacle is my heavy consumption of sugary drinks. Many of my older relatives lived unhealthy lives as miners, so I think I cannot really compare to them. So I guess I die, let's say, 2075 [knocks on wood]. As I said, the greatest threat to me living long is my consumption of sugary drinks and the likelihood of getting diabetes. So this article got my attention: http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jul/21/sugary-drinks-may-cause-type-2-diabetes-regardless-of-size-research-says But then, there's a somewhat puzzling passage: "The Cambridge team, who have published their research in the British Medical Journal, say they cannot prove that too many sweetened drinks causes type 2 diabetes from the evidence they were able to gather. But, if one assumes causality,(...)" So yeah, we don't know if they cause diabetes, but let's assume they do and predict doom... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RandomCanadian 105 Posted July 27, 2015 My parents died young(ish) at ages 43 and 64. All four of my biological grand-parents are deceased, at ages 40, 61, 79 and 96. Nannie made it to 106 but I think she is the exception rather than the rule. I'd like to be around for when my youngest graduates in 2022 and see at least one of the children get married and make me a Nana. I'm going to guess, Fall of 2032. My darling sons would like me to live a bit longer than that, how much a bit is I don't know. I'm chosing to be flattered that they'd like to keep me around. Ha!

maryportfuncity 10,651 Posted July 28, 2015 Some time May 2017 next year when Carlisle United - owned by Donald Trump - sign off on an unbeaten season in League One (having got there by the play offs when the January 2015 signings got promotion from League Two in 2016). The undefeated season and bonus of winning both the Carling Cup and the Football League Trophy (this one for the third time), will bring about a fatal heart attack as I watch three pieces of silverware being paraded around the Brunton Park pitch. Failing that, I'm not a great drinker - other than DLCons, obviously - and don't smoke/do take regular exercise, so doubtless a sudden heart attack aged about 60 and my fat friends at the funeral muttering "always thought he'd see us out" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
