It's the first sign. The second is answering back.:rotfl:Lost my soulmate so life is empty.
I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

I will follow your advice,
What advice was that- ignore the replies you don't like and give yourself a pat on the back?
That does not give any suggestions to help your colleague.0 -

on the subject of sprinklers being added to high rise flats as several people have commented - I would just like to say that this is not always a positive point.
My husband is a former firefighter and in his experience they are often vandalised by idiots.
Sprinkler systems usually need to have glass sensors which break when under heat which then sets off the sprinklers - the fact they are made of glass means they are vulnerable to being broken by idiot people who think it's fun to try and set the sprinkler system off.
for that reason ( let alone the impracticality of retro fitting the system) it is not the "cure all" people perceive it to be.
60 minute fire doors are a better protection against fire and non flamable materials in emergency exits such as concrete and metal0
