Jump, you bugger, jump...

Would-be suicide jumper pushed off bridge by irritated passer-by:
superb.

"I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish."

 

I like the salute to the media afterwards. A fine upright citizen.

I was also amused by this contrasting report.

Yes, that was one the things that made the episode so glorious.

 

My father in law actually did something similar when they lived in a tower
block. Someone was threatenening to jump from the floor above and was
disturbing the kids sleep. From what I recall him telling me he opened the
window and yelled "Fucking jump or shut the **** up, you're waking my kids
up". At which point the jumper climbed down. The police weren't too
impressed by all accounts.

Rusted and ropy.
Dog-eared old copy.
Vintage and classic,
or just plain Jurassic:
all words to describe me.

 

"The bridge has gained a macabre reputation, attracting at least 12 would-be
suicide jumpers...None of the 12 has jumped, although each has held up
traffic for several hours..."

They should fit the bridge with those 'tippy' things like the seats they fit
in (some) bus stops.

Well, unofficially a few coppers probably agreed with him.

 

Outstanding.
