Professor Green And Death!

[Old manny]

Just watched an interview with PG on the Robert Peston show and after my initial reaction, based solely on his appearance, that he was just another tattooed prick who didn't know his arse from his elbow and reinforcing my prejudice that modern musicians are all thick fucks, but five minutes of listening to the guy soon changed my opinion. After revealing that both his old man and his uncle had committed suicide he went on to discuss death and how men found it difficult to open up about it and basically said the only emotion we are good at expressing is anger. Within two minutes both Peston and Hillary Benn started discussing the early deaths of their wives, which they probably never would have without Green's openness.  Is he right?

I don't want to talk about it

 

 

 

 

In all seriousness, it's a topic close to my heart. Some days I will speak, others I won't. Much is being made of late encouraging mannies to speak about how they feel.

 

I was in counselling at the start of the year, driving the woman nuts.

'How do you feel?

Arite

That word is banned. Tell me how you feel

Ok

 

It's sometimes impossible to get those words out. Maybe why so much meltdowns happen on here

[BrianFaePerth]

Damnit, thought this was a misplaced Celebrity death post.

 

There is more to him than the tattooed prick look he gives off. Eh canna abide his politics but must admit he has a point when it comes to talking about death.

Aye there have been a few and I do get your point about counselling and the negative responses, which chaps are fairly competent at, but I do wonder if the Professor, given his impact on modern culture, can start to change attitudes amongst chaps where trickcyclists and their Freudian manuals come up against a brick wall.

He certainly strikes a chord with me and I imagine a good few others on here who have experienced the loss of family members before their time. Your right he is no prick and he does seem to go against the celebrity stereotype we are used to. My initial reaction is he has something to say and is worth listening to. Fine change from the usual gibberish we are subjected to from the great and the good.

Nae a rap lover masel' AK,  but sometimes the message has more resonance than the medium.

[Poodler]

He is a professsor, after all.

 

 

 

On topic. It'll take a generation to change that culture of nae spikkin. It's a damn shame.

[The Cockney Don]

Wish the prick would just do is self in.

[The Cockney Don]

Fuck him labour prick sounded like he had a few gob stoppers in his gob.

You could start the change.

Lead from the front then instead of hiding behind pussy lips, alcohol and drugs and pissing off counsellors.

 

I ken I'm being flippant and apologies if it is something you are still working towards.

[Poodler]

I 'save the lives' of others that's good enough for me. I'm resigned to my own fate.

 

I had my chance to save one more and the best I could do was bring the drugs over. Should've spoke. Didn't. No going back. 13.38 phonecall, swinging by 13.50.

 

Talk it out. Just don't ask me how to do it

Hillary Benn is a disgrace - his old man was 1000 times the man that he is

(Good rice and sweet and sour sauce, though)

Tony Benn was a proper politician. You didn't have to agree with his views (most were the opposite of mine) to respect them.

 

He was committed to his cause and never played to the masses unlike some.

[shut up meg]

Buried the McCrone report though.

Anthony Wedgwood Benn was a toff. An interesting politician who had a view and wasn't diverted by the party line. So, so rare today, even if you didn't agree with him. Worth listening to, IMO.

[BrianFaePerth]

Look at that bearded cunt behind him

If men want to talk about their problems or even just be civil to male companions, I'd highly recommend ecstasy or cocaine. Just watch those floodgates open.

Haha. Truer words never spoken than after a couple of baggies.

Ahmen!

 

My old man killed himself when I was 16, was right in the middle of my standard grades, so didn't have to sit a few exams...every cloud...

 

On a serious note I wasn't really fussed about it, my mum and dad were split for about 7 years and I was living with my mum, only saw him now and again even though he only lived a few miles away, he worked a lot and wasn't very affectionate, so I don't think it really affected me at all not having him around. Think I had a greet with my sister the night before her wedding when I was 18 but that's it.

 

Now I am older I am a bit more upset about it, but more pissed off I never got to hang around with him as an adult, like go for a pint or watch the boxing etc., I'm jealous of people who can do that with their old man.

 

The last time I saw him was a few days before, he emptied all the change from the ashtray in his jeep into my hands like he always did, then he telt me he loved me, which I had never heard him say before, should have known something was up! Good last memory though.

[Fridge]

Fucking hell min, we’re all just here to get torn into Millertime.

 

In all seriousness that must have and still be horrendous. Never had to go through any major bereavement and dread the day when it does. Must be horrendous and I feel for you.

[BrianFaePerth]

Sorry to hear that Pash. It amazes me a Dad (not your dad per se) could do that. That said, it's beyond my understanding how you get in to the mindset that that is the only solution.

[BrianFaePerth]

I hope you never have to deal with it is all I can say on the matter.

 

It's horrible, horrible place.

A friend of mine gassed himself back when we were in our 20s. All the signs were there right before he did it, not a single one of us - friends, family alike noticed. Awful stuff. The devastation knocked 20 years off his old mans life, he never recovered.

That was an extremely moving post Pash. Thanks for sharing.

Did he use your oxters?

[Old manny]

 That said, it's beyond my understanding how you get in to the mindset that that is the only solution.

I once heard suicide described as a permanent solution to a temporary problem. About sums it up.

[BrianFaePerth]

Fuck off. There's a time and a place.

Not always temporary though.

[The Boofon]

Or permanent.

Men do need to up their game when it comes to being honest about how they feel, says the hypocrite typing this.
