just heard off the radio. another sad twit jumped onto the path of an incoming train at a tube station near to the workplace past noon.
a colleague speculated he might have been shoved and then tumbled onto the tracks. yeah, that's the theory of the day favoured by 99.9% of wee islanders. who are in a perpetual state of denial.
this particular station doesn't come with elevated platforms like the rest that dot the islet. it's on firm ground level, and even if that poor sod was shoved, he could have just got up and scrambled back on again.
before the train hit him. duh.
face it folks, ending yer life on a train track is now a favourite form of hara kiri. for utterly inconsiderate sods who should have terminated their lives sooner. 'nuff said.
as enscribed by the letter b @ September 15, 2004 08:20 AMyep, a 70 year old senior, and it was disconcerting news. if some arsehole did actually shove him, it'd be an uproar i tell ye.
as blahed by the letter b @ September 16, 2004 02:33 AMThe victim's an elderly bloke actually and I will not be surprised, but sad, if my suspicions that he was shoved by other wee islanders come true.
