Neither do you, but suicide ain't a solution. There's a country full of lads who owe much more than him who don't care and do nothing or work their way through things or somewhere in between.

Leaving this burden on your wife and child isn't the way to solve this. Leaving that lady to rear that lad on her own is one of the most selfish things he could do.

I very much doubt he sat down and decided on it as a solution. I have some personal knowledge of the subject and I think you should consider that we are not all the same and what some can cope with can destroys others.
A little compassion would not go astray.

Goodnight.

I didn't think it was that bad tonight. When we're watching some punks from Made in Chelsea (remember that??) in a few weeks, we'll be longing for a few mins of Roddy Doyle.

Yes, and some people do get worked up over people that commit said act.

I've seen a few. Both sides.. :mad::(

Horrible stuff no matter where you look.

It's comical, isn't it?

For some reason it reminds me of that "you can't fight in here, this is the war room".

Edit: Remembered the reason: absurdity.

You're not the only one with personal knowledge!

Lionising people who kill themselves contributes to those who are vulnerable seeing it as a way out. It's very important that when discussing the topic emphasis should be placed on getting help not this constant message of how brave the person was.
It's a permanent solution to a tempory problem.

Don't think anyone is lionising people who commit suicide or saying how brave they are.

They're just empathising with their predicament.

The Boards of every financial institution in this country should be made watch this interview, the way some of the banks are treating distressed borrowers is pushing some people over the edge :mad:

It would be great if some wealthy benefactor would help this lady financially, anonymous perhaps, someone like JP McManus etc.

What should happen is that the CEO of the relevant bank should write off the mortgage if he had any gumption.

A very sad story and a brave lady. I am sorry that her husband ended his life, but I don't understand how he could leave his wife and 2 kids like this. But thats the way it is with suicide. It just seems to be growing all the time. I wasn't going to bother looking at the LLS and I didn't know she would be on. Only today I said a prayer at a grave of a guy who ended it aged 19, he'd be 26 now. Like her husband it was a huge shock to the community, such a nice fellow.

That Roddy Doyle is so boring, instant switch over....

This young man was extremely courageous in the message he had about suicide.

Tubridy rejoicing in a movie that purports to depict the "debunking" of Richard Nixon by David Frost? Funny that and Nixon being a rival of John Fitzgerald Kennedy... Unfortunately Frost/Nixon presents the viewer with more conjecture that Oliver Stone's movie about his idol.

Most films based on fact need to take some degree of dramatic licence Jon. Otherwise they'd be boring.

We listened to a very sad and disparing situation that lead to a suicide tonight, but unfortunately there are many many more stories of suicide that could have been avoided if society could only be what it should be.

There was little practical advice given out tonight - not even the number for samaraitans number 1850 60 90 90.

To anyone reading this thread that may be that way inclined, your family would miss you so much and lose out on so much, because they would possibly spend the rest of their lives thinking that they could have done more to keep you alive, if only you could have spoken to if not them then to someone.

Ernst & Young = crowd of gangsters whose sole contribution is to keep the accountancy profession unavailable to talented people. They and the other so-called Big 4 call the shots regarding why ACCA, ICAI, CIMA and other exams are set so hard that most people even those who work hard fail them. This is discrimination. The prof acccounting exams are designed to keep people OUT of the profession so that the less intelligent existing elite can stay in the plush corrupt positions.

Meanwhile, E&Y and the rest presided over .... auditing the likes of Anglo Irish!!

Not too bad of a Tubridy show overall, although of course he had to talk babies with his first guests!!

I have never studied accounting and have no interest whatsoever in it. I am a construction mgt professional and there are professional exams you could do in this profession that are also every bit as nasty. 3 friends of mine have done ACCA and by all accounts (forgive the pun) they are horrible and discriminatory just like all professional exams. The barrister exams have another way to discriminate: the fees!

There are a lot of people who are not cut out to be accountants who are accountants and you can find them in the banks and the auditor firms employed by them!

Or they could have a special on Bullying On The Twitter Machine... Chris Andrews, the reformed Twitter bully and Tubridy, the Twitter bullying victim.

They could have one of those Dr Phil moment where Ryan says "Do you know how it felt to receive such hurtful messages on the Twitter Machine?"... before breaking down.

Then Chris Andrews could say "I never knew comments on the Twitter Machine could hurt somebody so badly :-( #morto #reallysorry"

'You still owe us €17,000' – bank letter to suicide widow
Bereaved fiancee of Priory Hall property owner says KBC letter was like 'a kick in stomach'
A BANK last week sent a letter to the bereaved fiancee of tragic Priory Hall resident Fiachra Daly telling her that she still owed them almost €17,000. Stephanie Meehan received the letter from KBC bank just days after news of his suicide sparked a national outcry.
The bank wrote that interest on the mortgage would continue to accrue until it had been redeemed in full.

My point was they are just copying a very repetitive sound, they will be sick of it verrryyy quickly.
The money might keep them inspired. But even then, people will get sick of them very quickly.
It's been done a million times, and has a very short lifespan.

Musically, they're very immature.

They are influenced by a repetitive sound, as you say, which goes back as far as the 1920 and is the basis of what is now rock and roll. Im not sure you could call that immature. They are covering songs which were also covered by loads of bands back in the 60's before they started writing their own music.

They are not manufactured and have been playing and jamming together for years. And their music is evolving the more they play and write. Their musical knowledge is phenomenal and they are an unbelievable live band.

Maybe read some sh1t about them before you start stating what they will and wont get tired of playing, how people will tire of them and how money may keep them inspired. Have you got a magic ball?

First off, i wasn't putting them down. So get off the defensive.
When i said immature, i more meant Basic. They have a very basic sound.
Immature, as in, they have plenty of 'evolving' to do musically, as in they will grow out of that sound.
Been done to death. As you said, since the 1920's.
From Chuck Berry right through to the many other bands that have replicated the sound in the 2000's.
I couldn't give a rats if they're manufactured or not.
Their music needs to evolve, because that sound gets sickening very quickly, it was overdone in the 60's and has popped up in every decade since.
As for their music knowledge.. Great for them. It may help them in the future.
I didn't say they will get tired of playing, i said they will get tired of playing that sound.
I said money may keep them inspired to play that sound, and people will tire of that sound.
I don't need a magic 8 ball, as i said it's been done a million times.
Come back to me in 2015 and see if they're doing well with the same sound.
Or maybe it will be by then that they'll be going global, but definitely after a few more years, i may be singing this to you (if they continue with the same sound).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCQ7VLoY7bQ

FWIW, i hope they do go on and sell millions and continue to do what they're doing, and enjoying it.
I just don't see them doing it sticking to that sound.
It's a great sound to break into the market with.

I had to repeat the words 'that sound' to get through to you, as you didn't seem to pick up on it the first time you read my post.

I was very surprised to hear Elton John having spoken of the band in such glowing terms.. From what I've seen of them, they just seem to me like a Beatles B-side covers band, right down to the logo on the bass drum. They basically just copy everything the Beatles did in the early 1960s... There's nothing wrong with that but I'm not sure that their "act" can be treated any more seriously or original than any other tribute act..

You probably said it better than i did in my post.

I wan't that surprised by Elton John, he seems to have recommended a few young bands in the past 15 or so years. But he wasnt the only one to go and see them..

Paul Weller and Jeff Back both went also to check them out before him. I don't know what they said about them, probably wouldn't be hard to look up.

I think they (the Strypes) have just (again) revived a sound that they (Elton John, Jeff Beck and Paul Weller etc..) are all familiar with. A sound that also influenced them.
The difference that i believe is, with the Strypes, they do it nearly identically to that of the late 50's early 60's.
Most other bands tried to make their mark with that sound by changing it slightly.
The Strypes are still very young, but by the time they're in their 20's, their sound will either have changed by quite a lot, or will stay the same.. The latter not being so good for them.

Anyway, maybe better in the music section.

I thought that the interview with the wife of Fiachra Daly was very depressing. In a way I am pretty disgusted that KBC Bank are now saying since the weekend is they are only dropping her own mortgage & only freezing the loans of the other residents.

http://news.ie.msn.com/ireland/kbc-bank-will-not-pursue-priory-hall%e2%80%99s-stephanie-meehan-for-mortgage

The Strypes performance was alright. I am not mad into their music. But they are good lads at attempting to promote themselves in the music world.

And apart from Rob Heffernan's upbeat appearance I thought the rest of the show's quality on the night was dire.

Friday's show was hardly what you'd call excellent but in the scheme of things, it will probably be one of the stronger ones. Wait until we get deeper into the season and have Louis Walsh, Twink, One Direction and others like that dominating proceedings. Rachel Allen could show up too!

This Priory Hall situation makes me sick and it is yet more of how uncaring our politicians and bankers have become. In a nutshell, this interview gave us a glimpse about all of what is wrong with how Ireland is governed and the values endorsed in politics and banking. Politics and Banking? Two dirty words to be honest!
