Why are we all up at this hour?

I've got to be up at 6am.

F**k's sake, Speight.

What on earth was he thinking while he decided to hang himself, of all things, at a train station, of all places?
Did he take a bit of rope with him, or find something when he got there?

And why am I thinking so much about this?

If it's where I reckon it is zooo, I expect he thought it was somewhere he could hide away and get it over with, without any risk of being found in the near future. Whether he had something with him or not, God knows. Entirely possible he may have found something, but then those 'last pictures' did see him in a long-sleeved coat 'n' that.

The whole is odd. Why pick one of the busiest place in London?

I doubt that comes into it much, to be honest. That end of the station is relatively quiet, particularly so in the exact area I'm thinking of (closed to staff and public). Anyone could quite easily slip in without being seen. I suppose it must have reflected his mental state though; surrounded by people, and yet so alone. Eesh.

Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye out for big gates or boards of some kind being put up this week.

Some regular travellers probably aren't even aware of it, it's tucked away so much.

Chilling. Really chilling. *shudder* I think I should probably go to bed now.

I dunno, if Abbie died after a cocaine binge...

More likely Jeremy dying from getting rust up his Jap's eye.

Intrigued.

Me too.

Whatever got removed isn't important - where was Aaron on the usual spell check!

It's ''Perineum'' or sometimes, excusably pereneum.

Doh, call yourself a writer? !

sorry guys if i'm repeating what someone else has said, or if you've retracted some of the comments, or if you've simply moved on from this,i've only read the first few pages, but can we not laugh about someone dying? i read on the first place, someone saying he indirectly killed his gf. she was a 31 yr old woman! it was her choice to muck around with that rubbish, you can not blame him. we do not know what happened between them or what he had experienced in his life. nothing is as black and white and 'he did drugs so i have no sympathy'. nothing. whatever really happened, it is terribly sad that he felt he had no other option.

sorry guys. i dont want to be the one to ruin all the jokes, i know we are meant to be comedy writers. but there is a difference between the ability to keep a sense of humour, and spitting on someone elses life.

i'm really not trying to have a go, its just this news has hit a raw never. death has a funny way of doing that, however indirectly related.

Isn't he going to make absolutely the worst ghost for Paddington?

Gurning, and demanding to see commuters art work

I think some of that was said. Or implied. But yeah, anyway, well said. Although... Capitals please! Makes things infinitely easier to read.

And we're not all comedy writers!

Aaron is a comedy writer but he hasn't realised it yet. I have little sympathy I'm afraid. Obviously the guys talented so he could have gone anywhere with that ability but instead he freely chose to go down the path of using drugs which over spilled into his public life in the end. He was very much a kids role model (my 2 thought he was great) but this didn't deter him from his chosen nasty habit. His free choice. Feel sorry for relatives but that's as far as it goes for me.

What, like 10% are...

I have a sneaking admiration for people who kill themselves rather than just whining about how unhappy they are. People like Robbie Williams and Britney spears would go up in my estimation if they blew their brains out rather than just whinging constantly.
