Nah seriously lads, Im not that bothered at all. I do however think it was a little abstract to be taken 100% as a joke. And then when some contributors tried to belittle those who thoguht it was 'distasteful' I had to disagree. When a subject will provoke very strong feelings on both sides of the fence, it's sometimes better not to use it as fuel for a joke. Certainly not unless your going to make it 'VERY' obvious its a joke. If its open to interpretation at all, it will 'upset' some people.
thats all.

LN, read Zanussi's post above. It was 'so obvious' for the reasons he pointed out.

It was the trip to the Waterford match (with friends) which I had remembered. Hardly sat well with Ed Case's 'story.'

I will add though that although this particular story is crap, depression is a very serious illness and is no joking matter. But Ed Case is either massively exagerating or else making it up.

Nomad, it was much too outlandish (the money thing, the homeless girl thing, the women's magazines thing etc) and it was also different from his normal writing style. As a journalist you tend to notice differences in people's syntax, spelling, punctuation etc. It smelled all wrong from the word go.

And now he's after starting up another thread giving out about his local bookmakers! You just couldn't make it up -- except he did!

I´ve been following this with a degree of interest, and whereas I´m not in the position, or of the disposition to comment on this thread, there has been some wisdom written here, and some contributors have had something worthwhile to say. Maybe you should take a look at them again Ed. As regards your last comment, that was either a cry for help or a lame attempt at ego-massaging, I don´t know which and I won´t comment on that. But Ed, if this is all a joke, give it up now, if not find someone you can actually sit down and talk to face-to-face, someone who you won´t necessarily need to give your bank account number to

Regards
