This is the reason why we had to pay out £18 this afternoon to get a taxi from Sittingbourne back home to Gillingham after coming home from Uni.

Absolutely inconsiderate if you ask me.

I had travelled down for an 11am lecture which didn't happen because one of lecturer's family died and she had to return home to France.

I'm sure this inconsiderate woman would have thought twice if she knew how much she was gonna inconvenience you.
Thia post is either a wind up or one of the most immature and offensive posts I've seen in many a long day...
p.s. you are a moron.

What ? What do you mean, immature ?

If she wanted to commit suicide, why didn't she just take some pills or gas herself in the garage, that way she gets what she wants without hurting anyone else. ?

Instead she's cost all those people an hour of their lives that was wasted waiting at Sittingbourne, believe you me you do nant to do that !

The only reason people do commit suicide through this method 9 times out of 10 is bring attention to a problem they had in the their life.

I just found out that train that I was one was the best part of an hour late after leaving Sittingbourne.

Where in the article does it say she committed suicide, POK?

All it says is that it's not being treated as suspicious, which could mean that it was an accident.

Hardly a wind up for the poor driver. Imagine having to live with that for the rest of his life.

If I was gonna commit suicide I'd try and NOT involve anyone else!!!!

Because as soon as my train home pulled into Sittingbourne, the driver came on the tannoy and said

"Alas, ladies and gentleman, my worst fears have been confirmed... There has unfortunately been a suicide at Rochester."

Exactly !!!!!

I could weep for you, the sheer horror of having your day disrupted by someones death.....

All I know is that committing suicide must be unimaginable to anyone who hasn't been in the position.

I read once that in depressed periods of his life Tolstoy had to get his family to hide his shotgun, because he knew there were times when he wouldn't be able to resist using it on himself. What must that be like? Rationality doesn't come into it

I concur.

This concludes my investigation into Mr Kent.

Mr Kent is the best and most talented wind up artist the Bunker has ever had.

Allagever now!!! MUNCH!!!!

Just a minute. If you're right, Mr Ripper must be a wind-up merchant too. But I think not, in this case

AN APOLOGY
in my previous posts i may have given the impression that POK is an immature, moronic, selfish f**k wit for his rarfy posts on the the subject of suicides disrupting his irrelevant and pointless daily routine. I now concede that he is in fact a wind up artiste, the very embodiment of the piss takers art embodied into human form and put on this board by God himself to stun us with his subtly crafted jokes, helped along by portraying himself as a dullard......... a true genius. I salute you.

















... dream on

Someone who choose to kill themselves.

Thanks for the compliment, but I assure you I am not a wind up, I am the genuine article.

Damn i had to read his post as someone quoted it.

Thing is he aint bright enough to be a wind up artist, he is just thick as pig shit.

She probabaly topped herself because it would beat sitting at the same station as an utter cretin like yourself.

Hasn't this been covered a few weeks back

Don't remember much disgust then

The definition of suicide is simply someone dying by his/her own hand.
Some suicides are choices, in others the person is taken over by impulses they have no control over at all.
You might feel it's better for you to have someone to blame for your inconvenience to-day, but I can assure you that's nothing compared to what she will have felt

I agree with PoK here to be honest.

If the death was indeed a suicide then it is selfish as hell. There are plenty of other ways to go which dont inconvenience others.

This was discussed a while ago and from what I can recall people came to the same conclusion as PoK has here.

Its a bit harsh criticising PoK merely because it was him who said it. Ok, so he may be a bit naive but its avalid point he makes in this instance

Your being sarcastic yeah?

Thank you, Mr. Gravedisorder.

here it is
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17951

Not at all, it s rare that I agree with Pok but he is right here. The rest of yous are all wrong like!!!

And the denial completes the case.

Thank you Heckmondwike, and remember if your drinking and driving.....don't spill any....

What I like about message boards is that in any particular thread, there are some people debating the toss, and others who just continue to think the same whatever anyone says

Strange that thread even ended up having a go at PoK.

Daniel Gaunt wrote in the Train Suicides thread:
Apparantly over 250 suicides occur on train lines every year, which results in 250 tramatised drivers.





Tree With Hamster replied:
All 250 were in the Kent area. Gillingham to be precise.

Looks like we've got somebody trying to be a comedian here.

God you're a real ray of sunshine you are.

Is'nt it usually leave's blown on to the line

The commanding officer at the Naval Air Station I was working in back in 1986ish committed suicide in an unusual way, he took a Wessex 5 helicopter out for a flight and within a few mins crashed into the rocks at Portland.

After the investigation it was claimed that his wife had found out he was having an affair with a Wren, she was leaving him, taking his kids and he would lose his job and massive pension. The cost of his actions added up to 30m, that was 25m for the chopper and 5m for the recovery / clean up.

It depends who posts the thread, if it was one of the 'band of brothers' much mirth and more backslapping then an Aussie barbecue would have taken place, however because it was POK, who is a wee bit overbearing and somewhat immature, he is hung out to dry

Mr PoK, although I agree that it is completely selfish of the rarf topping themself to screw up other people's day along the way, you shouldn't be too surprised as the act of committing suicide is in itself a very selfish thing to do so the selfish fker killing themself doesn't realise that they are selfishly having a knock on effect to other people who don't even give a fuk.

I think there is a quite a bit of POKOPHOBIA on this board

suicide on the rails isn't half as inconsiderate of those tw@ts who decide to nick the copper from signals on the railways. i had just had 7 days on the piss in palma and magaluf landed early hours of night in london for the first game of the season back up at the vic. Hiked across london to kings cross at 3am, train left at 6.15am. Didn't arrive in north east (my new destination of newcastle as apposed to darlo) until around 12.30pm! I had been up for around 24/25 hours and was extremely hungover and suffering alcohol poisioning, when some absolute priks decided to steel the signals between newark and grantham. over a 2 hour delay stood static on the track in addition to a slow transit through the affected area. anyway 4-2 win, 2 more weeks off work and a night in my own bed was happy with that.

My gripe with this post was and remains the idea that the loss of a human life in any circumstances cannot be weighed against a 'bit of inconveience' WHAT NEXT...'Oh I was kept waiting at the traffic lights for 5 minutes just because five fooking fire engines wanted to be through to put the fire out at the orphanage ..... missed my appointment at Fine Time Fontaines Moisturising Parlour and my skin will be a bitch all week, fookin orphans!!"...it's the world we live in and if anyone can't see the point I pity them.

There is a huge difference between a fire in an orphanage and a suicide. The suicide is an option whereas the kids in the orphanage wont want to die. The fact is that the suicide could be committed in a way that doesnt impact upon others. Jumping on a train line is just selfish, it could/would haunt the train driver for years and passengers could fail to get for interviews on time, the train could derail ffs.
If you cant see that then I pity you

I suppose its the fact that you chose the context of POKs thread above anyone elses to unleash your carefully crafted and eloquent vitriol upon from your lofty intellectual heights, which rather points out the fact that POK gets under your skin so much you feel the need smother his posts with snarling vicious and hysterical comments, no doubt intended to belittle him and of course to be used as a tool to excercise your might.
A bit like a grown up chastises and smacks a puppy to control it, but is wary of certain breeds of grown up dogs in case they bite him/her

A bit embarrasing really

what I know is............I'd rather take others out than do myself in, every time.
My motto would be "Homicide not Suicide"
And a life in a comfy cell until I qualified for parole.

WHAT NEXT...'Oh I was kept waiting at the traffic lights for 5 minutes just because five fooking fire engines wanted to be through to put the fire out at the orphanage .....


What if it was someone trying to commit suicide by setting himself on fire and just happened to be next to an Orphanage and he used too much accelerent that then engulfed the whole area...........

Will you be doing requests please Parmo ?

And who's fault would it be if someone who was trying to commit suicide on his own and was next to the orphanage and all the orphans had escaped the fire but the fire truck drove in and ran them all over and killed them all.

These people committing suicide ........it's just me me me.

That copper from Manchester who bought the farm up in Snowdonia with pills and whisky, and the one who shot his mother in law and then himself were a radiant light on a dark day mind.......

Suicide's not all bad.....

A former Sunderland, Newport, Carlisle United, Bristol City, Birmingham City, Hartlepool United, Millwall, Blackpool and Oxford goalkeeper who killed himself had a "difficult time" following the birth of his son who had cerebral palsy, an inquest heard.
Tim Carter hoped for a son who would follow in his footsteps as a professional footballer, his brother told the hearing.

He hanged himself from a tree near a lay-by a day after he returned alone to the UK from a family holiday in Majorca, Spain.

South Manchester deputy coroner Joanne Kearsley was told the week-long break started badly over a row with an airline about seating arrangements for his son on the outbound flight.

It culminated in a "domestic situation" when Carter, 40, left his wife, Gina, his son and his daughter behind as he flew back, the inquest heard.

His wife returned the following day on June 18 this year and alerted police when there was no sign of her husband at the family home in Durham.

There was also some concerns about the content of text messages sent to her by Carter shortly before his death, the hearing was told.

His body was found in bushes in Stretford, Manchester, on June 19.

A blue nylon rope was discovered hanging from the branch of a tree and Carter's body was beneath it lying in undergrowth.

Gina's brother-in-law, John Redfern, said he and his wife met up briefly with the couple in Majorca.

He said they had "not had a good week" which ended in the "domestic situation" when Carter travelled home alone on their scheduled departure date.

"Gina was upset that he had gone to the airport without her and the kids," he said.

He added he did not believe Carter had got over the incident involving the airline and his four-year-old son.

Acting Chief Inspector Robert Tonge, of Stretford Police Station, said Greater Manchester Police were called by Durham Police in the early hours of June 19 about Carter's disappearance.

It was believed Sunderland AFC's youth academy goalkeeping coach was staying at the Tulip Hotel in Trafford Park, Manchester.

A search of his room took place but no trace of Carter was found and his Renault Laguna was not in the car park.

Officers later combed a stretch of the A57 in Greater Manchester after it was established he had earlier sent a text message along the route.

Acting Chief Insp Tonge said his body was discovered just after midday in bushes close to a lay-by in Highfield Close, Stretford.

He had an obvious neck injury which was consistent with someone having been hung.

There were no suspicious circumstances and a post-mortem examination showed he died as a result of asphyxia.

CCTV of the area showed his vehicle parked in the lay-by at about 10pm on the evening of June 18 and it was still there at 3am the following day when the recording stopped, he added.

Four hand-written notes to family members were found in a laptop case in his hotel room.

The contents of the notes were not read out at the inquest held at Stockport Magistrates' Court but Acting Chief Insp Tonge said they showed Carter "had an expectation of death".

Details of the text messages were also not given, although only evidence of messages sent in response by Gina remained after he had deleted his sent items.

Carter's brother, Stephen, said he him at a family party about a month before his death and did not detect any cause for concern.

However, he said he was aware that he had experienced personal problems over his son's condition.

"He found it very difficult. What Tim wanted was a son to follow in his footsteps," he said.

His brother also suffered a trauma as a child, which had stayed with him, when he was accidentally scalded by his father with burning oil from a chip pan.

In addition he spoke at the party about being "effectively demoted" by Sunderland from his previous position as first-team goalkeeping coach to youth team academy coach.

Carter said: "His attitude to his job had changed. He had lost all interest to a certain extent at that time."

Gina Carter did not attend the hearing but excerpts from her statement issued to the coroner were read out.

She said her husband of 16 years was "a quiet, respected and well-mannered man".

He was also a private person and the couple and their son and eight-year-old daughter were close as a family, she said.

In his career he was fit, agile and a perfectionist who did not smoke or drink.

In a statement, Sunderland club doctor David Gough GP said he could not recall seeing Carter in a professional capacity during his employment but he did talk to him on a friendship basis about the distress caused to his family over the birth of his son.

Recording a verdict Carter had taken his own life on June 18, Kearsley said: "It is clear to me considering the notes left and the text messages sent that there were matters playing on his mind at that time.

"We heard he had a difficult time following the birth of his son and he had lost interest in his job.

"Whatever the reason, it is clear that this came out of the blue to his family."

Carter played 50 games for Sunderland between 1987 and 1992 before later rejoining them in a coaching capacity.

Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn described his former team-mate as "Mr Nice Guy" and said his death had "devastated" everyone at the club.

He was capped three times with England's youth squad in 1985 and made his Football League debut for his local team Bristol Rovers aged 18.

Carter joined Sunderland on Christmas Eve in 1987 and went on to appear for Newport, Carlisle, Bristol City, Birmingham, Hartlepool, Millwall, Blackpool and Oxford.

He ended his playing days in 1999 at Halifax.

I chose to unleash it because it was crass in the extreme...as for dogs biting, I bite back, no matter what the breed ... but if you agree with his sentiments and you can't see the point of my disgust, I really am worried for you.

Your 'pity' is appreciated.... ... but lost on others

..'suicide that doesn't impact on others'........ how tidy, how neat, how considerate, ....how naive.......... death always impacts on someone, particularly suicide. ...

There was one here, recently, a British bloke, well into his sixties, had sunk all his cash into property.

He hadn't read the small print, you have to buy in conjunction with your wife and can't sell without her agreement. Wife chuffs off with bloke more of her own age, bloke takes a long step off his 18th floor balcony.

Kind of tidy and messy both at the same time........it does mean she can't sell owt and pocket the cash like.

Where is your lass, Kev, down the bingo???
