    Just listened to that ....can barely see the screen for being all teary eyed now! Could feel the emotion in Martin's voice.......he is right of course.....suicide is never the answer........after all...for every person who seriously stresses themselves and others over their money worries.......there are others out there racking up debt only for it to be written off.....and they are not taking it so seriously are they?.....

    My thoughts go out to this bloke.....hope him and his family are ok.........suicide is not an option...and certainly not one you leave your kids thinking about for years to come...........I know what it's like to lose a parent young (I was 12 when my dad died.........heart attack.........not suicide thankfully.........but then I've had my mum try this on numerous occasions (a different story)....still hurts all the same...
