Yep.
It's been in a few papers.

Revel in the glory
I especially like the extreme variation between the stories and the reference to b3ta as a chatroom.

You mean you're not here
to pretend to be a woman and get me into bed?
(Dangerous Disco Trev Isn't my real name, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 0:54, Reply)

no - that's why I'm here.
But I'm bored of trying to woo you into bed now. /yawns

I expected as much, truth be told
Knowing that it all ended well, I was keen to read it.

Had it ended otherwise, not so much.

Prolly best it was scrubbed

I'm surprised it's not been mocked more to be honest
Knowing what some people can be like sometimes!
(Dangerous Disco Trev Isn't my real name, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 1:56, Reply)

I'm surprised there hasn't been more praise for those folk who took it seriously. They deserve a round of applause and can take a bow. Good work.

It's not quite what happened
Not one of them actually has it right.

VC and Halfy are both full of win.

Are you going to tell us or tease us?
( enoughblueskyforsailorstrousers, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 4:46, Reply)

No
No I'm not. That's between the three of us; I'm saying nothing more on the matter.

/speechless
I don't really know what to say, other then I wasn't the one who called 999, Halfy was. The Sun has that part wrong at least.
In all honesty I don't really want to think about it. I'm glad the person in question is alive - I really am - but I don't really know what to say.

Good work. We need more people like you.
( enoughblueskyforsailorstrousers, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 4:53, Reply)

Well, apart from that The Sun completly and utterly made it up?
None of them have it completly right, but the Sun is just complete and utter bullshit.

it seemed like the took the general story then compeletly blew it all way out of proportion.

Tabloid press for you
This is why I wasn't particularly keen on the police releasing any kind of statement, but I didn't get a say in the matter except for an order for them not to speak to me.

Big kudos to you and Halfy, VC,
glad you're still with us HP and don't do it again...

oh and VC and Halfy - according to Chinese tradition, you are now responsible for HP having saved his life !

(goes away feeling all warm and fluffy that OT managed to save someone's life).

Hair Pot -
the charity Mind do a lot of campaigning against negative and sensationalist media coverage of mental illness. From the look of article in The Sun they'd probably be happy to help you if you wished to complain. I can send you details if you like.
