    Beks, that sounds awful. I'm sorry. I hope you're okay.

    fcuking hell, where was this?

    Toronto, north at Yorkdale station.

    Can't stop thinking about that poor man.

    The whole way back I was thinking 'maybe there's a bigger gap between the platform and the train than I remember...maybe his legs are fine'. But I got off and looked...there's about an inch, if even.

    I mentioned it to one of the subway guys at my stop and he said they were responding to 'an incident' at Yorkdale but he had no information.

    Jesus I fcuking wish I could unsee it.

    Beks, maybe you could call the station and ask?
    I know they wouldn't give out personal info but maybe they could tell you something about his condition considering you were a witness.

    That sounds like an awful thing to have happened and to have seen. It's a reminder that even if you commute by train and get them every day, you still have to be so careful around them.

    Christ, Beks. I'm sorry you have that in your head. I would second Posy's suggestion. They may even be looking for witnesses.

    I just posted a HORRIFIC photo of me online. Hanging from last night. I should be really embarrased. I know this. However, I am clearly missing too many braincells as I currently think its pretty funny.

    I'd go with the higher level - if it decides classes etc for next year it'll push you more and improve your French more. Also I've noticed that French students would put "fluent English" on their CV a lot faster than Irish students would put "fluent French" so it is possible that their definition of fluency would be different to yours!

    Thanks a million, you're a legend! :D I put down the higher level and got an email from the law school telling me to do so because it's the level I'll be taking language classes at and the registration process doesn't make that clear at all. I'm starting to feel scared now, it's going to be really difficult :o

    Hope you're okay Beks, what a horrible thing to see :( I hope you can find out what happened and it's better than expected, to put your mind at rest.

    Jesus beks.. that's horrendous! I don't suppose it'd be worth ringing the station and asking about him? I don't know if they'd be allowed to tell you any details, but it might be worth a shot? It might help to know, one way or the other, how things turned out. Poor guy :-/

    Beks, I hope you're alright. That sounds petrifying!

    I went to the doctor about that "fit/blackout" I had last week and she didn't really know what it was. Her only real suggestion was that it may have been a panic attack without the panic but I'm still freaked out a week later and not having a definite diagnosis is not helping.
    I also found out that my brother gets tingling in his fingers too so I'm even more worried now.

    Also, I found this and thought it was very apt for this thread!

    Well, the thing of men fighting over women was taken to new levels this evening on the bus to Tesco with my friend.... two guys, one just out of jail, the other who has been in and out for twenty years, threatening each other for our honour.... if it wasn't so terrifying because we were between them and they were proper threatening each other with intent, it'd be funny...

    No worries almostnever, it seems scarier now than it will be when you get there, I swear. I had panics about having to come home after a week and sure after the first few days it was fine!

    Beks, that's really awful, you poor thing. Hope you manage to find out if the man was okay, horrible to not be able to do anything about it.

    Jeez Beks that sounds horrendous! Look after yourself. I'm guessing you're in some shock after seeing that.

    I cycled 37km today. Think I can sleep now? Nooooo. :mad: So very annoying. I really don't want to start popping pills but I may need to.:(

    Well. Well I never. There is absolutely no point inviting people over for bank holiday drinks if the puppy is just going to be a big slut and slobber all over them and give me no love*. Grump grump grump.

    *I may be secretly delighted about how sociable he is. But I would like a licky ol cuddle off him all the same.

    So I have just found out that Adam Yauch's (from the Beastie Boys) cancer was in the same place where mine was. This seems to have really hit me for two reasons:
    1. I have never heard of anyone else having a cancer there
    2. I have never heard of anyone dying from a cancer there

    I know I prob come across as really selfish now but that just took me by surprise. I do still feel terrible for his suffering and what his family is going through and I hope they can all get through this tough time.

    No mcr that's not selfish, it's funny how it affects you when you've been through it yourself. Bound to hit a little harder when it's so close to home. X

    I didn't like his music but know how big they were to rap. Cancer is the devil and it's cruel.

    I didnt know you had cancer babe?
