46th is second in League One. The UK can get promoted to the nPower Suicide Championship I reckon. Which not606ers can we drive over the edge to give us a good start?
With on average around 4-5 more men committing suicide than women, this suggests that women are much more tolerant to the depressing **** that they see every day. Which helps to explain how supernorwich23 has a girlfriend.
The other way of looking at it is that the women in these men's lives are a factor in them committing suicide.
A little tasteless that the emotive and distressing subject of suicid is being discussed like a football league table. Mind you if England extend Fabio Capello's contract we could find ourselves in the top 10 by 2014
I doubt very much Iran is last. They're not the type to admit their folk may be unhappy. I'll wager there are a few Iranian women topping themselves and it won't even be acknowledged.
I'm surprised the Japs aren't higher in the league. They wee buggers commit hari-kari if there's a mistake in the tea-making ceremony.
