See they found him hanged in a railway shed. Being a dad he was on our telly a bit; wasn't mad on him or thought he was particularly amazing but this sort of story really affects me.
Bridgend has had another woman hang herself too, btw.

Such a rubbery face too.

All those kids crying, thinking about his blue face.

Tongue so bloated it looks like a fist.

A blue fist.

At least, that's how I described it on the CBBC forum.

That really needs a smiley or something. I'm half convinced you've really done it.

It's almost as bad as when they had all the condolence books in the supermarkets when the Queen mum died. These books were there for people to put the messages of sympathy for the dead. Someone had written in letters big enough to be read from a distance - across a double spread of the book in my local tesco - "THESE FUCKING PEAS ARE TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE"

I thought it possible wasn't in keeping with the sentiment of the book.

I find it hard to cry about anyone who sniffs the powder. You just don't do it unless you want to die.

Hang on...

Here, one local supermarket in Bradford had a book of condolences for when Vera friggin Duckworth died in Corrie. I kid thee not.

I always wondered what her middle name was.

Probably a derivative of the norse Goddess Frigga.

"It's pronounced FREYA!"

The chavettes on the corner tell me.

I'm SO lower middle class.

The North of England increasingly seems like a strange surreal land - and I have to travel through the Valleys to reach Cardiff!

That doesn't surprise me in the least - many years back, when the character "Albert Tatlock" died, Granada was amazed at how many folk wrote in offering to buy Tatlocks' house in the Street.

I think this thread leads into the one about fiction and reality.

True. It makes it easier to realise this. Never great, but easier.
