Must've been dealing with a lot under the surface. A great loss. As you work through the series I think you get a bit of a glimpse that he's maybe moving towards a bad place. It's like he's going back to places he'd previously been when doing other shows or when he was younger and ticking them off or saying goodbye. Link to comment

He lived a great fucking life at times, I'm sure others times were equally as extreme on the other end of the scale. Don't understand why people get so upset about folk killing themselves. He ended it how he wanted to, he could live out his final days as he planned to a degree. Link to comment

He'd maybe done everything he ever wanted, and that was him. He checked out. Nobody knows, but I'd argue the death of anyone like that is a real shame. A top man. Link to comment

That was the advice from my employer anyway. Ah well. Will sort itself out Link to comment

Fuck knows what happens if the PCR comes back positive. Pretty sure the lateral flow tests show anti bodies which given you've had the virus means you'll always show positive on that for a while. Quite mad that those tests are still being used as well as their credibility are ropey as fuck. Link to comment

Firstly, anyone can apply for a 'council' house (they're owned by housing associations now), regardless of circumstances, you don't have to be 'entitled'. Secondly, the fact he's a young single person puts him at the bottom of the queue ( it's all points systems, and a young healthy single person gets almost no points) . He won't be getting fast tracked ahead of asylum seekers, newly released cons or teenage mums, job or not. Link to comment

I know anyone is entitled to a council house but I assumed there would be a priority list and having no cash and no house would bump you up but assuming you know what you are talking about you’ll be right enough.
