Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK or Ireland dies by suicide. Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Suicide is not inevitable. You can interrupt someone’s suicidal thoughts. You could save a life. I've shared this video before; it's message remains as important and powerful as ever. You won't always know someone needs help so why not message that friend now and just check in?

Big man, pig man Ha ha, charade you are You well heeled big wheel Ha ha, charade you are And when your hand is on your heart You're nearly a good laugh Almost a joker With your head down in the pig bin Saying, "Keep on digging." Pig stain on your fat chin What do you hope to find? When you're down in the pig mine You're nearly a laugh You're nearly a laugh But you're really a cry Bus stop rat bag Ha ha, charade you are You fucked up old hag Ha ha, charade you are You radiate cold shafts of broken glass You're nearly a good laugh Almost worth a quick grin You like the feel of steel You're hot stuff with a hat pin And good fun with a hand gun You're nearly a laugh You're nearly a laugh But you're really a cry Hey you Whitehouse Ha ha, charade you are You house proud town mouse Ha ha, charade you are You're trying to keep our feelings off the street You're nearly a real treat All tight lips and cold feet And do you feel abused? You gotta stem the evil tide And keep it all on the inside Mary you're nearly a treat Mary you're nearly a treat But you're really a cry

🚨KRYTEN UNMASKED🚨 I’ve been doing some research, and Kryten from Red Dwarf isn’t actually a robot. It’s a guy called Robert Llewellyn who is an actor! The BBC are laughing at us.
