Maybe I phrased my sentence incorrectly when I said it would be a 'sad place'. It will be a place that will feel different to me. His soul will not have been a happy one. No one taking their own life can possibly leave on the earth a happy and full-filled soul; no matter how much they wanted to kill themselves. And yes, elderly Victorians or indeed Victorians of any age have probably died in my house But then again, their deaths were before my time so I have no knowledge of them. Different to being in the park last night, to actually have run past the Japanese pagoda, only to find out the news this morning. That does make me sad. I can't remember seeing anyone, but it goes though my mind...did I pass him somewhere else in the park? Was he sitting on one of the benches, was he taking a walk down one of the avenues?....it makes me feel odd in a way I can't describe.

cheers Bob, bet you work for the Samaritans don't you. Not.

spadetownboy it doesn't really matter whether he was depressed or not. Fact is a life was lost, and in such a tragic way.

When I run past the Japanese Shelter it will be very tragic to me. I've checked the South London Press site, but it's not been reported. It is a beautiful park, you're right, Nero.

What else do people know? Does anyone know the time it happened? It's so awful. The park will always be a sad place now. I know how depression can drive you to despair. It's just so awful that he wasn't/couldn't/didn't want to be helped by anyone.

I was in the park at 7pm last night training. I'm stunned, I can't belive it!!!!

....jumpers from Primark, sandwiches from Boots....

Who's going to buy me a G & T then?...seeing as I was sloshed on the stuff at the last forum meet!

Green and Blue have a Clapham store as well....yes I know. Please stop making links with ED and Clapham! I can't stand it. If I wanted to live in Boredomville (Clapham) I'd be there now wouldn't I.

ay? you've lost me Alan Dale.....why should I embrace the White Stuff?

hhmmm....in my mind you just don't seem to 'fit in' with the others stores on LL. You stand out like a big sore thumb. Sorry, you don't have my vote, just because I already see LL turing into Northcote Road (Yes I know we've heard it all before) I'm with you, Louisa on this.

You've all been watching way too much of Cheech and Chong.....

But bus drivers don't earn that bad a wage. There are jobs out there that pay worse. And it's not National Service. Since I've been in ED I have to say the amount of 'near crashes' has been alarmingly high. The drivers don't bother looking at you/or look at you so much they yell at you from their cab and demand you return to the front of the bus where they can again inspect your pass. I've seen bus drivers get into near fist fights with members of the public. I grew up in Brighton. You never had any trouble with buses there. The worst time was on the old omnibus type Route Masters. The driver was so erratic I was flung off the back and into the street. On all fours in the middle of Oxford Circus with traffic hurtling towards me. Nice.

Hang on, hang on, this aint some love in page!....quit the nonsense!

the buyers have more money than sense?

I still say we blame it on the dog from the pub.

I think we should blame it on Clarence the dog from The Bishop.

I'M MIDDLE CLASS AND I WANT TO MOAN ABOUT STUFF.....alot, well some stuff. Oh Sh*t, I don't have any kids and I don't own a ridiculously priced house in ED, so I guess I'll forget the moan, seeing as I haven't paid up my membership to the Middle Class Society of the United Kingdom. Maybe I'll just be a middle class reserve. But! I am a fully paid up member of the Ponce Club UK. Hip hip hurrah!

Middle-classes in ED? I can't take it anymore!

SeanyMac do you want to summarise your thoughts in one sentance, nice and sweet for those of us (me) who are too bleary eyed at the end of the day to be able to grasp what the hell just happened in your previous 24 line thread. :-$

and pk what seems to be your problem? you're offending the ponces of ED today, you know! and that just won't do.

Careful there, there's a debate going on over the way about ED ponces. A K & C may just push some people over the edge. Then again the people who think we're all ponces won't even know what a K & C is.

Boots sandwiches? people ordering off the menu? whatever next? How dare some be so bloody poncy!

Bugger, We are saying goodbye to some Aussies that night before they fly back south.....I'm meant to be organising a BBQ. If it goes t*ts up, I'll dive out the back door and pop on over!
