The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA) said greater steps must be taken to raise awareness of the cliffs among students

It is simply not possible that there are human beings on this earth who take themselves as serious members of an organization called The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA) said greater steps must be taken to raise awareness of the cliffs among students.

I picture them sitting in the parlor having tea.

ROSPA1: Dreadful things those cliffs.

ROSPA2: Indeed. Quite dangerous.

ROSPA1: One must be careful near them. I do so care for safety.

ROSPA2: Yes, accidents are such terrible,terrible things. One certainly must be careful. More milk?

ROSPA1: Please. And let us move on from such ghastly business.

Chuck D strikes again

Wow, and how do I become a member of such a fine distinguished group?

His swan song was a swan dive!

"The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA) said greater steps must be taken to raise awareness of the cliffs among students..."

How forward-thinking of it.

Pride comes before the fall.

FTFA:
The student is understood to be the fifth person to die in recent years at the beauty spot close to the Old Course.



HER FACE WILL KILL YOU

FTFA:
Police appealed for information and said they were particularly keen to speak to a young American man who is believed to have spoken to the victim minutes before his death.

"Yeah, it's a great shortcut to the beach. Trust me. No, those signs don't mean anything, just climb over those high railings and head on down about 60 feet."

I'm sure it's a terrible slur on the poor young man, but at 1:30am when he was heading to a party one suspects the presence of alcohol. All the people who have fallen the wrong way at this beauty spot in recent times have been students from out of town. Still, that doesn't exempt them from having a basic understanding of the laws of gravity and the difficulties of arriving on some rocks having taken the fast route down.

It is said to be close to the Old Course, but everything in St Andrews is close to the Old Course since it's such a small place. Maybe the best thing is to remove all the fences and walls and simply let those who want to fall, and those who don't be.

But the sad truth is that people die. Some through ill-advised actions, some through no fault of their own. Lots of us have had plenty of near misses, but for this guy it was too near, and he didn't miss.

Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents? I wonder if they receive government money.
These must be the people who influenced denmark to fund an ad campaign promoting helmets for pedestrians.

"Bright and popular"?

I don't know about bright but he did make quite a splash.

There, now we can skip the rest of the posts in this thread.

big pig peaches: "Bright and popular"?

They always are, dead people. Never complete bar stewards, or wastes of space. Always bright, popular, clever, etc etc.

At least on his last night out, he had a smashing good time.

I am giving this serious thought. Membership is pretty affordable. Might also look good on a resume. Link (new window)

Sometimes it must be difficult
Not to feel as if you really are a cliff
When fascists keep trying to push you over it!
Are they the lemmings, or are you Cliff?
Or ARE you, Cliff?

/hot like one of Neil's sneezes

"Stephen Magee, vice-principal for external relations... ", as opposed to "internal relations"?

Police said the incident happened at 1.35am on Friday morning and the student's body was washed up on the shore near the St Andrews Sea Life Centre 90 minutes later.

Somewhat ironic that the dead body would wash up near the Life Centre, wot?
