@jegga what @Paekakboyz said
Cheers, is anyone else noticing in their extended circle that this seems to be happening amongst middle aged men more often these days?
Yeah had a good mate check out last year - was definitely an out there tale that came out of it. If you're in the same country/town as all your mates, be thankful fella. It's tough going through it on the other side of the world eh.

A couple of the speeches were his mates pleading with the people at the funeral to just pick up the phone if they ever feel like theres no hope.
Why? What is the problem with suicide? If you don't want to go on with life, then don't.
I understand that it leaves a mess behind for the living, but if I decide to end it tomorrow surely that is my choice?
Because it can be a temporary feeling/impulse caused by mental illness. If you can help people through that period they can still have a happy and long life.

I guess it is the stigma attached to it that I have an issue with. Possibly because of religious connotations in the past.

@Snowy Yeah, that's a slightly different issue. For example, if you have a terminal illness/are in permanent physical pain and want to end your life early and with dignity I have no problem with that at all.
My impression is that the majority of sucide is not in that catefory.

Jimmy Johnson of F.A.M.E and Muscle Shoals studios. Guitarist for the “Swampers”, played on hits for Aretha, Wilson Picket ....many others and engineer on Wild Horses and Brown Sugar for the Rolling Stones.
Some of the best don’t get their names in lights but at least his contribution to modern music is well recognised. -

@Donsteppa said in RIP 2019:
Very sad news about Qadir. I think he was the first leg spinner I saw playing live, my memory is very hazy, but I remember a very ‘busy’ action.
Busy indeed. He was the Steve Smith of spin bowling with his pre action antics and fidgeting. Class bowler though.
