    Researchers say action is needed to reduce suicide rates in Scotland - which are higher than in other parts of the UK.

    For the first time they have analysed data to identify the reason.

    The report from Manchester and Edinburgh Universities, said the way patients and doctors react to psychological problems could be partly to blame.

    They said this "Scottish effect" may lead more people to take their lives.

    Their report, published in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, reveals a complex picture with alcohol and drugs, along with deprivation, all playing their part - as they do elsewhere.

    Problems arising from alcohol accounted for 33% of the "excess" suicides in Scotland and deprivation for 24%.

    So, basically, a Scots doctor saying "Get a grip o' yersel ya big fud" doesn't stop suicide.

    Whereas, English doctors offer you all a big rough bumming if you don't kill yourselves and it works a treat.

    You're all too gay and lack the chutzpah to take a heider or chib yourselves is what I take out of that <whistle>

    The tags on this thread <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    I blame the obsession with drink and the weather up there. Saying that it was 29 degress when I was up at Loch linnie the other week.

    You try living in somewhere like Whitburn, Fraserburgh or Greenock and not wanting to top yourself.

    It's a daily struggle, a daily ****ing struggle of Herculean proportions. <ok>

    Looked up Fraserburg having not been before. The only thing I could find to do there was golf, given they have a links course. What a set of cruel bastards. Not only is there little to do, they also put a ****ing golf course there just in case you want to go completely round twist.

    Interesting factoid about Fraserburgh (this probably isn't true anymore but it's a good pub fact)

    Fraserburgh has more heroin-related fishing deaths than any other town on the planet <ok><beatthat>

    We should be encouraging the scummy ****s to top themselves. It would solve a lot of social problems and save money too.
