OK The next image is of a very old cemetary on the island of Lundy, (located in the Bristol channel) It is on Beacon Hill near the site of a church long gone.

The current church on the island, St Helena was build nearer the village in 1896

LOL, I went to Lundy Island in 2000 I think it was, but I'm pretty sure I avoided the graveyard
Did you get the boat from Ilfracombe? It took ages when we went and it was freezing.

Oh yes, and don't even mention false consciousness. It's like dirty talk to me.

(I am kidding, by the way. Just incase people think I have some sort of Marxist-Fetish).

Im more of a functionalist myself. I think Marxism just turns humans into machines with no ambitions or desires to succeed

Indeed, it ignores individual differences.

I don't agree with functionalists either, they believe each aspect of society is functional - including crime.

I'd say methodological wise I'm an interpretivist but I don't really agree with all of them 100%.

All Sociologists are nuts, in my opinion

Has anyone been to the Ypres Great War cemetery in France?

I just joking about the definition thing

Well I found visiting Ypres Cemetery quite interesting because I know what had happened there and in the Flanders fields.

[Diablo]

ah well, cemetries aren't my thing so i'll just leave this particular thread...

[Red Moon]

They are interesting places. Although I wouldn't go out of my way to visit a cemetery I have looked round them and found them interesting and sad.

When you see the countless graves of children that died at a young age back in the 1800's it shows you how far we have come.

I think it was kind of explained in the first post.

Some of the older members who have now gone were having a fantasy trip to where Helen and Paul were living. They posted in the style of the KGB, so I thought I would post as if I was CIA and I mentioned Arlington Cemetery where I visited in 1999. I was told to go away and set up a thread "Cemeteries I have known", so I did - or something along those lines

This was before image shack and photobucket and of course when the forum was off line for several weeks (months?) these images were lost, hence lack of images at the beginning

For old times sake, attached is a still from my movie about the cemetery next door that I did.

I have also tried to do an embedding of a YouTube file (also not around when I did this)

Sorry for the bump, but in trying to track down my first ever post, I came across this thread which ROB once took part in.

This was a video I made of a cemetery across the road

Youtube video

After revisiting this thread, and re-reading some of the posts from Romantic Old Bird, who died in 2008 one is reminded of old times again. It is a pity that a lot of my images are no longer there, and at the moment I do not have the time to try and work out what they were and if I still have them, upload them to another image hosting site.

The cemetery across the road continues to be in an appalling state, and sometimes when I walk directly to or from work I pass through it.

If you go to my YouTube film of it, you can read the many comments including from someone who has a relative buried there.

As for the grave yard on Lundy Island, when I was last there in 2010, I noticed that some had memorial plaques placed there. Maybe their ashes were scattered there? If I were to be cremated, I think I would like my ashes, if allowed scattered in the graveyard on Lundy Island, next to the property I loved to stay in, Old Light Cottage.

Rest in Peace ROB, Angie and Kerry, we still miss you
