I might be tongue tied at the beginning...but Cary grant or Humphrey Bogart

it seems the lad i was on about commited suicide

or so we've been told

just incase anyone was interested

doubt you are

but i thought i'd say

Tragic when anyone takes their own life, and incredibly hard on family and friends. Pirate.

 Sorry you tried, and really glad you failed.

try it again

and i'll come round and strangle you!

2/3 people who jump off high places (who survive) get third of the way down & realise theres a solution

theres ALWAYS a solution

ive looked on gumtree/ebay-theres not

Hear, hear.

you'd best behave

or i swear i'll hunt you down & put your head in a bucket of whisky until you cheer up

if that dont work-i'll take you to bulldog bash & hang a 

sign round yer neck

You are much loved and wanted around here.

You aint going no where!!

Very sad Pirate.  We've heard similar news here this week.  Young man, getting married next week, 2 kids......ended it all.  There's been so many people affected by suicide in our town in the past few years....mainly young people who see no way out and it's terribly sad seeing their families suffer and try to get on with life after it.  

Velvet....    

yeah you just saying that cos we all know you at bulldog

you wearing that sequin frock AGAIN this year?

yep

bloody awful

and 

that velvet best watch out i dont kidnap

im kind when i do

i always take my victims to psychotherapy

then take 'em on the lash with the ransom money

It's a bad place to be, Pirate.  I don't think you think of anyone else when your head goes like that.  I've got a nephew who is motherless because of it, best friend who lost a brother to it, been affected by failed attempts within my closest family and have neighbours, friends and family who all lost someone to suicide all in the past few years.  I know people say it's a terribly selfish thing to do and yes, it is, but at that time I'm sure the person who is suffering just wants their own pain to go away and thinks other people will be relieved that they are gone and don't have to trouble themselves with that person any more.  Very said thoughts to have and I wish more could be done to help them.....but in every person who I know who has done it, there's been no indication of how low they have been feeling......they mostly hide it well

i remember telling you lot about eldest sons mate who hanged himself off the motorway bridge-4/5yrs ago

his family still cant believe it

That's the thing Ells 

One of my workmates (a good few years ago), Her brother's girlfriend had him so wound up he put a gun to his head......

How the hell do your family and friends deal with that one....

They don't  Sadly then it's a whole family's lives ruined because it has such  a bad knock on effect.  

dont s'pose anyone knows the torment thats goes on in anyone elses head otherwise it wouldnt happen

My mum,

Tell her I was sorry for being a brat well past the brat years and she deserved to get more out of life than the few and fleeting happy times. To have the kind of little humorous chats we had when she was alive about insignificant stuff like what's funny on TV and stuff in the newspapers.

Carnelian.....I think that goes for us all who have lost parents 

Oh Fremsley, thats awful. So sorry that you got that low. Thank God you're still here xx

Don't know what to say except give you a  and a 

Terribly sorry Pirate  What a sad end for anybody 

I've been in and out of the forum for the last week or so, so if I'm picking this up wrong, but I don't think I am, Carnelian, your mum committed suicide? That is just awful. Or have I misread?

Just read further back, and I think I did get it wrong, sorry Carnelian. X
