Pan or Mayday calls

Anyone care to give a few practical examples of both a Pan-Pan call and a Mayday call?

A few thoughts for what warrants a Mayday:
Any fire/fumes, depressurisation, double hydraulics failure, engine failure (2 eng a/c) double generator failure (2 eng a/c) and anytime the aircraft is uncontrollable.
You can always downgrade from Mayday to Pan!
