It might come as some surprise to you, but I always thought he was a
wanker.the news that he took his own life only confirms my gut feeling
was a correct one.

How does taking your life make you a wan*er ?
You may feel that you have nothing left to live for one day. Depression is a
horrible illness and it can strike almost anyone. I've found that the most
likely to suffer from it are the most intellectual of us, people who use their
brain power more than others, especially before they speak !

Indeed. Most of history's greatest luminaries have been afflicted by some
form of clinical depression at various points in their lives. My favourite
poet, Robert Fergusson, died in an asylum. Newton, Beethoven, Abraham
Lincoln - Christ the list is endless.

Take 50 plus paracetamol, walk into the casualty department at Glasgow
Royal Infirmary and then tell me how many of the Health Professionals
in there describe you as a Genius or intellectual?
I think you will find they will describe you as I would "A WANKER"
Gordon Keenan
others are as well, but based upon what have read, it would appear that I
am a closet talented person, possibly bordering on genius, but with the
potential to be right big wank*r as well.
It sorta gives me a real glow inside knowing that I am something special in
my own way, but to anyone out there who is thinking of killing themselves
over Xmas or New Year, please do not do it.... why? Here's why!
1) You will be making someone very happy, so stay alive and keep them
pi**sed off.
2) You will take the great guys of the Fire, Police and Ambulance service
away from their staff food and drink.
3) You will give newspapers a free story and some hack will make money from
your death.
4) Think of the people around you that you love (if you have nobody, well
ignore this and go back over points 1,2,3)
5) If you happen to be a Big Issue Seller, please ignore 1,2,3,4 and make my
Xmas and New Year something special!

YES you are a wanker if you decide to cop out and do it (nothing to do with
how much intellect you have).. As much as life can suck from time to time,
it is only a coward that hurts all around and opts for the easy way out!!
Dont get me wrong situations have made me think across the same lines but
fortunately I understand the suffering that others would go through if I was
to do it.. Sure some people may not have others that care for them.. but
still..... there is help there for everyone that needs it.. all you have to

Quite right Pal, Mr Adamson had a lot more than many people in
Scotland could even dream of, yet it didnt stop him topping himself.
I'm confused as to why some people would want to hero worship someone
who just couldn't hack it. we've all been fed up and skint on more
than life but topping myself was never something I considered, I just
got the heid down and got on with it like most of us would do.

in itself must be a helluca pressure to be under.
You or I can go out and have a beer, shop etc, but for these people, I guess
they must feel that when they go out they are like fish in a bowl.. everyone
watching them!
We can only guess to his reasons, but in the end, he will have caused the
world a real problem as everyone will now want to buy his records, we will
hear them on the radio all the time, and no doubt some other person won't be
able to handle is and they will top themselves!!!!

I'll go along with you a bit of the way, but as for the goldfish bowl
? naw, we have to disagree on that one, nobody put him in a goldfish
bowl, I suspect it was his quest for fame that brought him into the
bowl.this guy was a sort of icon to many people and I see it as a let
down to all thise people who looked up to him.
what kind of example is he sending out to all the youngsters who chant
his song ? "in a big country ?" Big Countries are for Big Boys Mr
Adamson, you let a lot of fans down with your actions, you are not a
big country boy to me, I still think you are a wanker, albeit a dead
one.

There was a US study a few years ago, which noted an increase in suicide
rates in African-Americans (who, traditionally, do not have a particularly
high suicide rate), however there was no concomitant increase in depression.
Further investigation revealed that there was an increase in *despair* in
that community. There are 3 crude categories of suicide 1)Helpless (
incapaciated by depression) 2)Hopeless (incapacitated by despair & 3)
Hapless (suicide unintentional - person meant to be *found* in time, or
suicide inadvertent - risky behaviour, drug & alcohol abuse).

Looks like this person has never heard of the Samaritans, Covenant House,
Cruse or any of the many mental health professions who deal with these
problems on a daily basis. Neither do they seem to realise they could be
requiring such services just as easily as they might need medical help to
deal with a virus or other illness. They are no more immune from mental
health than anyone else.
Nigel Jones
I suppose that you also hate Blacks, Queers and short people.
The health professionals would have done some of their training in psychiatric
wards, and so would know that depression is an illness. Just because it isn't
an illness that you can actually 'see' the effects of (ie cancer, broken bones
etc), doesn't mean that it isn't an illness at all.
There is so much stigma attached to mental illness, and people like you play a
big part in it. For your sake, I hope that you don't have first hand experience
one day.

try really hard to get this into your head, Health Professionals do
have a private face and a public face, just like everyone else.
anybody who takes an overdose and appears at casualty will get the
public face. but when off duty and away from these wankers who try to
top themselfes we call them wankers.
there is enough to do in a busy casualty department without wankers
coming in and wasting our time. genuine cases have to go on hold while
we treat these wankers with their self inflicted injuries.

Like the police force the people who work in casualty have a job to do. Also
like the police it is not their job to be judge, jury and executioner. Their
job is to treat people who have been injured and, just as the police cause
miscarriages of justice when they overstep their authority, so the health
professional who judges whether, (to use your objectionable term), they are
wankers or not is also guilty of a miscarriage of justice. To put it in a
nutshell. You cannot rightly call yourself a Health Professional and hold
the unprofessional view that you do. Again to use your own objectionable
term the wanker is none other than yourself. The fact you sink to using such
terms points to you not being the sharpest scalpel in the box.

The little old man you describe would in most peoples eyes be a
genuine accident victim.
The Wanker who takes 50 paracetamol would in most peoples eyes not be
a genuine accident victim.
Perhaps if your Mother or child had to wait on a trolly in a cold
corridor while the paracetamol victim was treated you attitude would
change. Imagine your old Mother even dies on the trolly while we deal
with the wanker with the paracetamol ?
I can find little sympathy for wanker with paracetamol.

If, as you claim, you are a Health Care Professional, then you are not paid,
(By the Public), to give sympathy. You are paid, (By The Public), to give
health care. The fact that you are making judgements on the people you are
paid to treat, (By The Public), show you to be in neglect of your duty, (To

No, not an accident victim, but a genuine victim of an illness. Maybe what I'm
saying would have been clearer to you if I had said a little old man with heart
disease who'd had an attack in his home.

That would be unfortunate but I would not hold it against him, I DO have
sympathy for such people. I've been through it myself and it's worse than any
other illness I've suffered. I have also known many others to have suffered
with depression and a few have succeeded with their death wish.

Why do you think that no doctors or nurses had to see him? In this country,
only an MD can pronounce death. Except in obvious cases (ie decapitation,
advanced decomposition etc.) the person has to be seen by a doctor.

The suicide prevention community includes professionals and
para-professionals who work in health care, social work, mental health,
education. It also includes police officers, trained lay people, and people
who have lost a loved one to suicide. If you are *truly* interested in what
they do, here are a few links . This is the main US umbrella organization
http://www.suicidology.org/ , this one is from where I live
http://www.dcontario.org/. One very important thing that they do is suicide
aftermath counselling. Sometimes, in this field, when someone is referred
to as a suicide survivor, it doesn't mean that they survived a suicide
attempt, but that they surviving after the suicide of a loved one. Such a
person has a 5 times greater risk than the general population of
subsequently committing suicide themselves. Communities that run Survivor
or Aftermath programs have demonstrated reduced suicide statistics, as have
communities with prevention, outreach & education, crisis intervention
programs, and suicide hotlines. I am assuming that you are a male, did you
know that you have a 4X higher risk of ending up as a suicide than I do? It
is the suicide prevention community who maintain such statistics and promote
efforts to reach high-risk individuals & groups. So despite your scorn,
many of these people are working on your behalf, and a lot of them are
volunteers. As for yourself, what have you done for your fellow man today?

Unfortunately, it is still counter-cultural for many men, especially
middle-aged men to ask for help, and they comprise the majority of suicides.

copping out. Can you imagine the situation where you can see absolutely NO
light at the end of the tunnel? It must be hell.
As a person who once thought about it, I feel sorry for these people and

It's a bullshit premise anyway. Emergency/casualty departments have a
triage protocol which ensures that all incoming cases are prioritized. How
many people have you heard of dying unattended on a trolley? I live in a
city of over 2 million people, and as far as I can recall, that has happened
maybe twice in the last 10 years. It is so rare, that it causes a big
sensation, and becomes front page news. Somebody needing a dose of Ipecac
or a stomach pump because of 50 paracetamol would not require a high level
of departmental resources, or any treatment that is labour-intensive, and
would certainly be slated *behind* someone who was moments from death.

It's not so much a death wish as a disordered form of thinking resulting in
a form of tunnel vision that can't see any other solutions. Not all
suicides are depressives either, some have other mental illnesses, others
may be in crisis.

Yes now let me guess, he was such a nice guy he went down the woods so
as his wife and kids wouldnt have to find him ? no ? you mean this
good guy topped himself in the family home, so the wife and kids could
get a good look at him in the morning, they were given the gift of

The evidence is clear all right - and it is this. You claim to be a, *Health
Care Professional*. That claim alone gives me the right to point out your
use of the English language is far from the standards we could reasonable
expect from any, *Professional*, in any, *Profession*, whatsoever.
Get it - By claiming to be a Professional you set yourself a standard others
should expect from you. You thus can have little complaint when they point
that out to you. Furthermore you not only made personal attacks on several
people, including myself, on the group, but what is worse you actually made
personal attacks upon a dead man. How low can you sink? In your case, not a
great deal further, for you are at the very bottom now.

Signing a giro? You couldn't sign a giro. You have to make your mark and get
someone to countersign it for you. The first one you took in the girl in the

was the poor girl to know that WAS your signature.
Poor old Laughing Boy. Now that he has made a complete idiot of himself he

Frae Auld Bob Peffers:
In, *Laughing Boy*, we see sure signs of advanced and severe mental illness.
His compulsion to write abusive posts, in a more or less anonymous medium,
shows his very repressive upbringing and probable sufferance at the hands
of a dominating mother figure. This tendency is akin to the little child
using naughty words and then giggling behind a hand. While perfectly normal
in children, adults outgrow this tendency.
This, together with his obviously bogus claim of being a, *Health Care
Professional*, introduce a delusional quality to his malady. His poor
command of English and his general demeanour belies any claims of
professionalism.
His constant attempts to turn everything towards such sexual practices as
oral sex, homosexual acts and auto-erotic practices would bear out the
repressed, mother dominated, childhood that this sad person seems intent on
regressing to. It seems also to indicate a latent homosexual streak that
could best be addressed by him coming out of the closet. *Laughing Boy*,
seek help, before it is too late. It is not a laughing matter.
Loads Of Free Beer Here
After reading your posts I think you can help me on a little project I
am undertaking. It seems to me that this news group has not been at
all successful in sticking to its charter nor for that matter in
fulfilling its aims and objectives.
According to my understanding of this news group's charter it was set
up to provide a much needed platform for the chattering and meddling
classes to air their views in general and, in particular, to have
theoretical discussions on new ways of interfering in other peoples
lives. The idea was to keep the dis-inherited minds of the chattering
and interfering professions occupied at home whilst the rest of us got
on with our lives in peace. Keeping the holders of strange minds such
as, gamekeepers, water bailiffs, customs and excise officers, inland
revenue officials, law enforcement officers, lawyers, councillors of
this that and the next thing but nothing in particular, teachers, POs,
social workers, priests and ministers of religion, occupied and out of
committee rooms is desperately needed and admittedly rather difficult.
However, sad to say, this group has failed badly.
Failure in this instance can be put fairly and squarely at the feet of
those well meaning plonkers who now inhabit this newsgroup. A careful
analysis of the postings provide sufficient grounds on which to
conclude that this group has been taken over by failed amateur comics
soap script writers, Christmas cracker joke writers, barrack room
lawyers, jingle composers, shit house philosophers, lavatory poets
politicians and spin doctors. All suffering from having their
aspirations frustrated by a more discerning audience than presently
patronises this news group. All still producing mindless bullshit. The
meddling and chattering classes in effect have been squeezed out by
the present motley crew. A group by the way those damned control
freaks tend to look upon favourably!
The reader of this posting may well think that the situation described
is not that important. But, a moments reflection. Consider this: a
load of arse holes effectively removed of the backs of decent honest
hard working and long suffering folks whose only "crime" is preferring
to enjoy themselves rather than fuck about with other folks lives.
This has to be an honourable cause. Indeed commendable.
Sadly a bunch of wandering minstrels and intellectual vagabonds has
thwarted that. If you think that I am mistaken in my thinking let me
know. Either by e-mail or newsgroup reply.

agree absolutely. I really fail to see why anyone thinks they have a right
to interfere in a decision made by someone who can not take any more. Why
try to foist more life on them when they absolutely do not want it any more?
I can only see it as sheer damn selfishness on the part of the socalled
samaritan, and totally unfair and unwarranted pressure on someone who has
had enough - or more than enough.

Adam Whyte-Settlar
found the thought of suicide 'comforting' (!) by which he meant that he
always had that action in reserve, that it was in his control and nobody
could deny it to him no matter what. If things got so bad he knew he always
had a way out and thus he could more or less cope with life.
I have always felt that it is a bit pointless to kill oneself as one is
eventually going to die anyway and one might as well wait just to see what
happens next in life. But then I have never been (seriously) ill or had
anything (seriously) depressing happen to me.
Well - except maybe reading some of the jokes in here - that can be just
awful.

People who commit suicide are not brave, they are extremely cowardly.
Brave people meet their problems head on and with a bit of effort can overcome
their situation. We've all done it to a greater or lesser
degree, are you saying the person who commited suicide one
Christmas Day because of debt, leaving my wife and mother-in-law in
emotional turmoil every Christmas was brave? I've another word for him, he's
an absolute and utter wanker. No sympathy whatsoever. He could have ate
his brussell sprouts the same as the rest of us. See he doesn't even deserve
a decent joke.

abusive at all, I can't help but lack full sympathy for those whose final wish
they have carried out themselves. I do have sympathy that life could push
them to such drastic action, but surely the people (loved ones, friends etc)
left behind should be those for whom my thoughts go to.
I cannot see how someones life has reached such a low that instead of working
to defeat a problem, I would let it defeat me and take my own life. Is there a
"type" of person who is more at risk from suicide, I'm referring to how
confident they are, their temperament etc, or are we all (I'll include myself
though I just cant see it) at risk of taking a step too far when feeling down.

The fact is, Danny, Clinical Depression is an illness and, like any other
illness, anyone can get it - no matter how confident they are. It is not the
same thing as being a bit down because life has dealt you a few hard blows.
That is just depression and your head goes down for a while then you fight
back and pull out of it.
You can become Clinically Depressed when the whole World is being good to
you. As to your question of whether a certain type of person is prone to
this - there is another condition known as Manic Depression that people are
predisposed to. This is the condition where the sufferer swings from a state
of high elation to deep depression and back again seemingly at random.
A large proportion of sufferers from this condition are artistic and/or near
genius level who have great creative capabilities. Seems the brainier you
are the more prone to this you are. However don't confuse either of these
conditions with that down feeling we all suffer from now and again.
Personally I have suffered neither but my first wife suffered Clinical
Depression and I have, (and sadly have had), quite a few friends who have
suffered Clinical Depression or been Manic Depressive. Hope that helps. The
reason the, *Hilarious Child*, was so offensive was he/it claimed to be a
Health Care Professional but very obviously was not. A professional would
have know both conditions and would never have described any sufferer in the
terms he/it used.

Well, Dan, here's hoping you never get Clinically Depressed and become such
a wanker. Just remember a depressed person DOES NOT commit suicide. A
Clinically Depressed person may. If you lack the understanding of this fact
you will have little chance of suffering from the condition for it seems to
strike most at those who are the most sensitive and creative of human
beings. However be warned that anyone can suffer Clinical Depression - even
you.
Nigel Jones
> People who commit suicide are not brave, they are extremely cowardly.
They are neither of the two.
They are ill.
Why are there so many people out there who can't grasp that depression is an
illness and trying to end it all is something that extremely depressed people do
?
It's a kind of latter stage of the disease. But some of us get saved and
eventually get better with the help of caring health professionals. Along the
way we meet others who've also been there. An understanding is built up, we know
who we are, we know more about life than the 'others'. I'm even tempted to say
that we eventually develop a superiority complex because we know something that
you don't yet know and maybe never will.
I don't see any of those people anymore, haven't done for years (it's 19 years
since my breakdown). But I'll never forget them or any of the nursing staff who
helped me. If I see someone acting strange, I don't refer to them as a nutter.
I'm better than that, I have compassion. If I meet a depressed person, I don't
call them a miserable git, I try and help ("Pull yourself together" is a no-no).
The superiority complex ?
That's still there when it comes to ignorant sods like laughing boy. I'm so
much better than any lowlife with that kind of attitude towards mental illness.
Cowardly ?
