Was you stuck on the M4 for most of the morning?
Some loon decides he wants to bring a little misery to thousands so threatens to throw himself of a bridge onto the motorway bringing the M4 to a standstill in both directions.
Instead of the police spending their valuable time talking the wanker down, get your best marksman and shoot him down or let me at him with a pointed stick.
Every motorway I've been on this week as come to a grinding halt. This truly is a third world country.

I almost missed out on a day's wages because of this 'loon'! Our delivery was stuck on the M4 and I was almost sent home because there would have been nothing to do.
What was the end result? Did he come down? I guess it was resolved because our delivery arrived...

I think the solution is obvious. Get a huge motorway-sized trampoline and push him off if he hasn't jumped by the time you reach him. Job done.

No, it isn't. Not even slightly. If, however, you were to visit a proper third world country, you would probably find the police much more willing to take pot shots at suicidical/depressed folk teetering on the edge of motorway bridges. Sorry you had a bad day. Hope tomorrow's better. |

Selfish bastard. If you're gonna end your life do it away from anyone else. Jumping off a bridge will not just affect your family, but imagine the catastrophy after you've jumped. How many others would be killed or injured because of your stupidity and selfishness.

That isn't the thought process though is it, and I don't think anyone who hasn't been in that position mentally is right to judge. There are many things I hope never happen to me in my life, but ending up in a state where I have absolutely nothing to live for and decide to end it all is probably the one i'd be scared of the most |

ending up in a state where I'm so desperate for attention I pretend I'm going to top myself in a way that fucks up thousands of other people and wastes hundreds of hours of the emergency services time is probably the one i'd be scared of the most

Sorry Paul but fuck off on this one. Until you have been in that position and your head is that fucked i really can't see how you can be so flippant about this sort of thing.

Kiddy I work with was hanging off the same motorway bridge a few weekends ago,before he went up there he phoned me to say not to send any trucks onto that stretch of the motorway.,he did it over night saturday into sunday so didnt cause quite as much chaos as today but they still shut the motorway.He came back into work a few days later,we pretend it never happened.

Unfortunately there are quite a lot of people out there that don't get it until it happens to them or someone close to them and only then do they realise what a fucking dick they've been. Though it's a lot better now than it was say 10 years ago. |
