I read in the *news* yesterday that there are more suicides in May than any other month. That got me thinking ..... I always buy my Ibuprofen when I'm on trips to the US because it's still possible to buy these 100 tablet sized bottles. Here in the UK we can only buy small packets of about 12. But at the other extreme I bought the white bottle in Mexico when I was ill there - each tablet is 600mg instead of the usual 200mg and I had to bite them in half because I was scared to take so much in one go!!! Makes me wonder about the nanny state that we live in and what the evidence is for some of the policies that 'protect us'. If I was determined to commit suicide i don't think I'd be put off by the need to travel to four or five different chemists to buy the goods. We ought to be doing more to address the causes.


Oh by the way.... I am trying to keep up with commenting but PBase seems to be having a slow phase - it's taken 30 minutes to load this photo properly so please bear with me.
