# watermelon me. How much info do you need to learn to hang yourself?
For anyone surfing the internet for tips on suicide, here is a near foolproof, swift, and practically painless method.

You need:
One bottle of whisky (2 if you have a high alcohol tolerance)
Gaffer/duck tape.
plug socket timer.
Any plug lead from a stereo or kettle.
wire strippers.

First, strip the insulation from the non plug end of the wire.
Put the plug socket timer in a plug. Set it to come live in about 3 hours time.
Plug the stereo lead into the plug timer.
Gaffer tape the exposed wires from the kettle/stereo lead to your hand. Make it nice and secure.
Drink your whisky till losing consciousness, and say goodnight for ever.

edit: best to check the fuse in your timer. 13 amp a minimum, and some of the newer models have a circuit breaker in there that will merely leave you scorched, and not dead. Make sure its a cheapy.

# its like the Jam thing
where the bloke throws himself from a first floor window 20 times. Much safer than a 20th floor window once. At least you can change your mind.

# *Tsk* Kids today, eh?
wrapped in cotton wool. Don't know how to commit bloody suicide. When I was 16, I would have known instinctively the way to do it. Otherwise, I could have gone to the Citizen's Advice Bureau

Edit: On re-reading the article, I noticed the deceased 'shook hands' with his old dad before he went to bed. Is this common? Maybe it's what sent him over the edge

# urban legend has it that most people who try to slash their wrists
fail miserably from doing it wrong. You need to cut across the wrist, then from the centre of your first cut, cut again towards the elbow.

You'll be dead in no time.

# You seem to know a lot about this
are you a seasoned campaigner? Or are you already dead and speaking from beyond the grave?

# I suffered very heavily from depression a few years back,
and spent many an evening contemplating ending it all. Couldnt do that to my family though.

Phoned Samaritans one night. They suggested I section myself. Very helpful.

# Wonder why they focus on the internet?
There's been a booming trade in self help suicide books for about 200 years.
