Sad day, don't normally put comments on occasions like this. I'll make an exception here though.
Absolutely gutted..

Look mate, just because your previous employer has never, until recently, given a tuppenny sh[ii[/it about the the mental wellbeing of their employees, doesn't detract from what is a tragic loss of a life. Remember it's less than 100 years since the army were lining up soldiers with shell-shock and shooting them. Maybe they should've just manned-up eh?

But congratulations on stamping you big macho size 10s, all over a thread yet again, I bet you feel all big & hard now

That's why I said 'any decision making process worthy of the description'. I understand that a decision of sorts must be reached in order for a person to take his own life, but the point I was making was that there is no process that anyone who wasn't mentally ill would recognise as remotely rational.

Without wishing to denegrate the job that the armed forces do, I'm getting a little tired of the macho and (to an extent) 'superior' chip on the shoulder that some members seem to carry. I've actually just deleted an acquaintance from my Facebook friends list who kept posting status updates which basically labelled people who choose to gain a university eduction as being inferior to soldiers who join up at school-leaving age. Nauseating. No-one understimates the job that the armed forces do, but there's no need to ram it down our throats at every opportunity.

Maybe I should remove my daughters FB based upon the fact she is draining my money at Uni!Get in the Army softy!

RIP Speedy you were a good guy and its sad that there was no outlet for you in a moment of need-Does that add to the thread as you would like Coddy

Lets now lambast the lack of spending on mental health issues-Cameron you To**er

give it a rest.
start a new thread and stop de-railing if you feel the need to put alternative points across.
