No ‘seems’ about it. When the numbers are at the end it’s a given what happened.
I met him a few times years ago, my ex wife’s mate flatted with him. Nice bloke.

I don’t know why but when someone kills them self I get a bit teary.
It’s a prick of a disease
I weirdly wish I could just hold their hand and say “it’s ok to feel low. There is ways to feel good again”
Just a real shitter of a way to go

@taniwharugby I had met him a few times through an actor mate. I wouldn't say I knew him though.
Seemed like the life of the party guy. He and Sela Alo came and hosted a Pacifica Festival on the Gold Coast once and they were very funny together and I loved their S'N'P videos on the differences between Islanders and Palagi.
Just such a waste of talent and life. I feel so bad for his daughter as well as his wider family. Kids need their fathers(and mothers obviously) and it's so hard to understand this thing that he has done. But unless you are going through this, this horrible illness, it's impossible to understand.
For gods sake check on a mate you're worried about. Just pick up the phone, stop by. Let them know you're there.

@raznomore yeah I attended an event a few years back and he was one of the MC's, and seemed such a confident and happy guy, easy to chat to...you just cannot tell what is going on inside though...that is the scary part, how do you reach out to someone who seems to have it all and be happy with it...

Was he one of the guys in all the "Sharpen Up" Lift ads?

But who will pour the tea now? asked Mog, sadly
There’s an empty space at the table between a forgetful cat and a Tiger today.

But who will pour the tea now? asked Mog, sadlyThere’s an empty space at the table between a forgetful cat and a Tiger today.
Judith Kerr was very tired and went to sleep forever this morning, leaving a body of work which touched the lives of every child who read them in ways which are difficult to express but were lifelong.
Even a slightly bewildered and dozy cat couldn’t forget her simple tales, and she deserved a medal for helping entire families love books together – and got one, being awarded an OBE in 2012.
As well as creating a brace of daft but harmless felines, Judith worked tirelessly to ensure the world didn’t forget her own experiences as a refugee from Nazi Germany, writing books describing the experience from a child’s perspective, and travelling to speak widely about it.
When Hitler stole Pink Rabbit managed to maintain a childlike simplicity and view of the world whilst describing the effects of flight, confusion and fear in terms that were stark and understandable to junior readers, and may well be the first experience of a wider political world that many readers encounter.
In all of this, her message was always People do die, and you do lose them, but you should get on with your own lives.
“It’s a good thing I drank all the tea in the pot, and all the orange juice, and all of daddy’s beer, and all the water in the tap,” said the Tiger.
“Or I wouldn’t be full enough for all these tears.”
