Re: Grid lock on Blackburn road
 

Someone made a bet on them not jumping?

Though you are right, they probably were being serious, and that makes it all the more disturbing.

Why would you want to see someone so desperate to end their problems that they are threatening to jump off a bridge? Seems a bit sick to me.

Oh heck cash :(:( It's awful when people are so depressed they just cannot see any other way than ending it all :(

Re: Grid lock on Blackburn road
 

I went down to the bank and could see there was nothing going on, I most certainly would not stand and watch to see if somebody jumped.

I just find it disturbing that someone asks if anyone is in mcdonalds with laptop and webcam.

Re: Grid lock on Blackburn road
 

OMG... I would rather run a mile than see that!!! It must haunt you for the rest of your life when you see something like that.

I also feel sorry for drivers that have had people jump off Motorway bridges in front of them!! I know the people are desperate that are jumping!! But I also don't think it's fair on the poor drivers that have to live with that for the rest of their lives. :(

Flippin 'eck! Is it that bad in Accy that so many people feel suicidal. :(

Re: Grid lock on Blackburn road
 

If I wanted to end it all I could think of a better way than doing a header off an Accy bridge:(

To be fair to Royboy Blazey, don't think he was making a serious bet .... just something we say. Think what he meant was in most cases like this, it is just a cry for help ... not an actual seriously intended suicidal attempt, ok, some do.

Whoever it was though, certainly needs help and sympathy.
