      I was just about to post about this. Tragic! I was wondering why the 'Mad'? He must certainly be a little annoyed although not necessarily mad yet. :)

        Wow. That's seriously messed up. My best mates in laws live in Whitehaven. If he's stopped at Boot, then chances are he's headed for the campsite at Hollins Farm near Scafell Pike.

            That's what the Police were considering. There must have been a stressor, something that set him off, perhaps a bad passenger in his cab or work pressures. But it is that time of year when tourists start filling the Lakes, and there could be yet more deaths.

                Blimey - never realised that they were emptied for the winter. Those tourists must have to buy a lot of beer to achieve that ... :-D Rich

                        14.16 Police have confirmed Derrick Bird has been found dead. The BBC reports he shot himself in a wooded area. A police spokesman says: "Our focus is now on the movements of Mr Bird this morning -we believe there are a number of fatalities and injuries. Our thoughts are with the families in these tragic times. We are asking for any witnesses to come forward and help us with our investigation into the events of this morning. "Police are asking those who were sheltering to now go about their normal day to day activities and would like to thank them for their patience in incredibly difficult circumstances. "Please be aware there are a number of crime scenes across the county and we would ask for people's patince whilst we conduct our investigations."

                                  From the article:

                                  One neighbour of Mr Bird described him as a quiet man who kept "himself to himself" and had not talked to his neighbours despite living there for several years

                                  I know this is scary and dangerous and all that, but I still have to (mis)quote St. George (Carlin)...

                                  "...Someone always says, 'He was always very quiet.' And then someone inevitably responds with 'It's the quiet ones ya gotta watch.' This, to me, is a very dangerous notion. I bet while you're watching a quiet one, a noisy one will #%(&#ing kill you! Say you're in a bar somewhere, and there's a quiet guy sitting in the corner, not bothering anyone. Then some other guy jumps up on the counter with a shotgun and yells, 'I'll kill the next #(%*&@# that walks in here!!!'...... Who ya gonna watch?"

                                  Anyway... Hope the cops nab this guy nice and quick. EDIT: Oh, just saw Pete's post... The guy's dead... And there was much rejoicing... yay.

                                      I know this is scary and dangerous and all that, but I still have to (mis)quote St. George (Carlin)...

                                      "...Someone always says, 'He was always very quiet.' And then someone inevitably responds with 'It's the quiet ones ya gotta watch.' This, to me, is a very dangerous notion. I bet while you're watching a quiet one, a noisy one will #%(&#ing kill you! Say you're in a bar somewhere, and there's a quiet guy sitting in the corner, not bothering anyone. Then some other guy jumps up on the counter with a shotgun and yells, 'I'll kill the next #(%*&@# that walks in here!!!'...... Who ya gonna watch?"

                                      Anyway... Hope the cops nab this guy nice and quick. EDIT: Oh, just saw Pete's post... The guy's dead... And there was much rejoicing... yay.

                                      Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

                                      They said that Dennis Nilson[^] was 'Quiet and Kept Himself to Himself'. What do you expect? Open a window and yell "I've got another one!"?

                                        Have you ever seen Natural Born Killers (1994)[^]? That's an exaggerated example of a noisy one (Well, two) that'll @&*)%ing kill you :)

                                          Yeah, it's to prevent burst banks when they freeze...
