That doesnt say much about whether he had a serious mental disorder tho.

Look at Tesla, managed quite a bit more than that, and was barking mad too.

Fark. Those that produced a degree like
that should be taken out the back and shot.

Sure, that was just a comment on how irrelevant a BBC panel show is to
whether someone who shows up on one has a serious mental disorder.

Stephen Fry has a serious mental disorder and runs one.

"She contemplated suicide" is a very long way from making a suicide
attempt. People with MdDS are not known for attempting suicide.

Presumably because the symptoms arent that bad for most of them.

There are most likely other factors which made you do that.

Yes there were, his employer was going to stop paying him.

The whole event was a pure fluke.

Bloke attempts suicide at age 54y 11m, survives and spends
4 months in hospital, followed by 8 months in bed at home
in a wheelchair on full pay of £45000 per year and due to a
cock up, does not go onto 1/2 pay after 6 months. BP does
not want the £11250 they overpaid me back.

Gets passed fit for work exactly a year after suicide bid, but retires
on his 56 birthday and pockets £500000 in pension pot, £7000 in
annual bonus, £3000 in BUPA compo and £30000 in shares.

You could not have planned that any better.

Attempting suicide is a symptom of a serious mental disorder.

Nope, in plenty of cases it is a completely rational thing to do.

Our equivalent of your Mark Carney and his wife chose to kill
themselves when they decided that they had had a very decent
life and that the downsides of old age didn’t appeal to them at all.

Outside of assisted suicide (and that's a very contentious topic)
the wish to commit suicide is seen as a mental disorder

Only by pig ignorant fools.

and is handled by psychiatric services.

His clearly wasn’t.

This is a UK group and I have no
interest what happens in Australia

Doesn’t matter what you are interested in.

although even there I am sure suicide is never considered normal.

Corse it is, particularly when its it obvious
that a rational choice has been made.

We had another well publicised example of a woman who
again had decided that she had had a great life, that there
wasn’t anything much that was of any real interest to her
anymore and who didn’t like the limitations that old age
imposed who completely rationally chose to pull the plug
using some pills that she had collected for just that purpose.

In my town we had one fellow who quite literally murdered
3 kids on two separate occasions, who chose to kill himself
and ****ed that up. The system spent heaps reviving him,
and far more with the full trial and conviction. He eventually
succeeded in killing himself in jail.

Another one got involved in the killing of Kalazich's wife,
ended up being convicted and was jailed for that along
with Kalazich. He killed himself in jail too. Very rational
decision given that time in jail isnt much of a 'life'

My next door neighbour who runs a very big farming operation
with his brothers and their kids, 3 farms, had a very serious
accident where the end of a massive great cast iron ended
portable water tank blew out under pressure, onto his head.

They did fix his medical problem but he ended up with very
a severe long term disability because of it and ended up
hanging himself. Again a completely rational and sensible choice.

Why should anyone hang around after they have decided
that they would rather be dead for whatever reason ?

Caused one hell of a stink when they did that but
it’s a tad unlikely that they actually gave a damn
about that given they were dead by then.

You are likely to have been treated by the psychiatric service
with therapy and meds. Perhaps you were sectioned.

Unlikely even in that nanny state of yours.

You don't know what you are talking about.

We'll see...

How much time have you spent in the UK, if any?

Irrelevant. Clearly the psychiatric service was never involved
with Simon and he was never sectioned at all.

You don’t have a ****ing clue how the real world operates.

Do you think your behaviour here (which you probably see
as entirely normal) could be an adverse effect of your meds?

You don’t know he is on any currently.

Suicide is almost never a rational decision.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage.

It is a perfectly rational decision to kill yourself when the symptoms
you are getting are unacceptable and you would prefer to be dead.

It is a perfectly rational decision if you are unemployable in the
current economic situation or your business has gone bust and
there is no prospect of useful employment and you don’t care
for veging out in front of the TV, satisfying the work test or
veging out down the pub etc.

The exception might be those suffering horribly

Doesn’t have to be suffering horribly, just unacceptable
to the individual deciding whether to live or die.

If you are for example incapable of wiping your arse
or feeding yourself and don’t care for that situation,
it is a perfectly rational decision to end your life.

from an incurable medical condition
which is expected to get worse.

Other than something like that, I can't
consider suicide to be a rational decision

More fool you.

It is a perfectly rational decision to decide that nothing
you are now capable of doing is of any interest to you
and that you would be better off dead.

It is a perfectly rational decision that when you
are no longer capable of showering unaided,
need assistance to have a **** or a ****, that you
don’t consider that is anything like a viable life.

- almost by definition.

Even sillier than you usually manage.

When I was in bed for a year with time running out, Robin Williams did what he did and I also became fascinated as to how my old workmate ended it all as I wanted to follow him one month before my money ran out. I never had his mental history though, only the MdDS.

and when he's corrected

Something you have never managed to do.

he gets upset.

Just another of your pathetic little drug crazed fantasys.

I call a spade a spade and a terminal ****wit a terminal ****wit.

Looking back, I was a fool for bothering to try.

Yes you are indeed a fool who doesn’t have a ****ing clue about
even the most basic stuff like why plenty make a completely rational
choice to suicide, what your nanny state doesn’t do about those
who attempt and fail to suicide, or even the most basic statistics
or even when we are discussing UBER DRIVERS and not cabs/taxis.

I call a prick, a prick. Wodles you're a prick.
And nasty with it.

Wow, well thanks for posting the evidence. :-{}

I too was shocked, so tried booking the same journey on National Rail. The
£482.80 on Simon's tickets is each for one person Return First Class.. Second
Class is only £196.50

Yes, but we didn't want to mix with the great unwashed and wanted free food..

I particularly like the bit where the stewardess tells you to ensure the
seat backs are in the upright position for landing!

They're not as bad as they used to be. O'Loony finally realised ****ing
your customers off isn't the best way to go about getting repeat
business.

Still... 30 quid all in, including taxes, etc. They can't possibly be
making a profit on that. There were still seats available at that price
when I looked yesterday.

Yes, we always do Hull-Rotterdam-Hull in the car at £720 all in, £30 is very good.

I can understand that.

and wanted free food.

for me that would be a high price to pay for free food.
Same as payign £45 quid a week for free txts. etc...

Just back from Madeira (still there if anyone is interested:-).

Easyjet catch you if you travel over multiples of 7 days. Might be cheap
going but can be 3-4 times as much for the return. First rule... don't
book your ticket on the computer you used to check the prices. Second
rule... see if a competitor is offering cheap one way for the return.
Both Easyjet and Monarch fly Madeira/ Gatwick so parking the car still
works. Third rule... don't **** off the car parking receptionist when
she offers car cleaning otherwise they park close to the runway and it
gets covered in jet fuel. Fourth rule... don't return to Gatwick late
afternoon in time for the M25 crawl home.

Fark, wota packa dinosaurs. Ours have gone physical ticketless now.

Yes, but when I get to Glasgow at 1412h today, I will bin the tickets at 1414h.

Your fern's memory will still be used up, leaving only 142 songs vs 144 pre trip.

No need to bin anything with the ticketless approach, you just tap in and
tap off and the system works out that you have just used that virtual
ticket.
And charges you appropriately if you havent bought a ticket in advance too.

Wrong. No memory is used up when the phone is
used as the device that you tap on and tap off with.

leaving only 142 songs vs 144 pre trip.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you
dont have a ****ing clue how ticketless systems work.
