This tune used to send every club I went to into a frenzy. :D

I don't do drugs anymore but that tune on an E or acid is crazy.

When my brother met them at a bar (and my best friend stroked Keith's hair not realising who he was because she was ****faced), he said that Keith was actually really normal, and Maxim was the 'crazy' one.

Yes, I can believe it. Your friend playing with Keith's hair, that's funny. :)

@Zeed you should talk to someone, you'll feel a lot better for it mate.

your health?

yet you run 10K every day?

i'm going to assume something here. you aren't married are you? this is likely the real problem. you haven't found someone to settle down with and have a life together along with children, etc.

My best mate killed himself a couple of years ago. In his 40's, a qualified professional in his field, and we'd been mates for over 20yrs. We've been through thick and thin together. He was like my brother. Still feel I should have spotted something but I didn't. He kept it under wraps "like a proper man's man should".

Now he's dead - completely "brown bredders". A ******* nightmare.

He has a great family. I keep in touch with his brother. Every anniversary, his birthday and Christmas. Breaks my heart though, every time.

:(:( I've known 3 friends kill themselves. None were "best" mates of mine but they were best mates with my best mates. In none of those cases did anyone have a clue that the guys (they were all male) had a problem and that I think was hit them all hardest. If only they had said something everyone would have dropped everything to help as all 3 were great blokes. Us men sadly do have this thing of bottling up feelings and not wanting to show them for numerous and illogical reasons. I feel your pain though.

Sorry to hear that. Yes, it's terrible isn't it? I try not to dwell on it too much but sometimes I do, especially after a few beers. I really need to knock the late night solo sessions on the head. Anyway, cheers buddy.

Ye from years of trainings running ect my spine is all ****** up. I'm like 8% body fat healthy diet cooking meals daily ect. List of messed up parts is so long that I can list out whats good. My right arm eeee hearth and internals. When You start every day from 12 pills and ibuprofen gel on stuff that pills dont.

OFC I'm not married I'm some weirs natures experiment. Asexual creature with haphephobia and bipolar disorder.
Going out on Rave's is what keeps me of doing chemicals every weekend. Then again doctor told me I sould not jump about for longer than 4 hours as its messing my bone structure even mor.
Once I cant enjoy going out raving sober I'm done.

Prodigy is reason why I moved from rock/Metal to electronic music back in 1997 when I was 14. Going to Rock nights on Thursdays and Techno/Trance events Saturdays for years.

I totally can see why Keith checked out. When You get to pint in life where NOTHING is fun anymore and You dont have any dreams to chase whats the point of sticking around ??

Like last November Sinuses Infection ****** up my eharing. Now i got Permanent Ear ringing. For 2 weeks I could not understand human speach. Now I also got sleeping problem due to the god damn noise. That was second time in my life when I seriously was giving it 1-2 weeks of taht state max before trip to other dimension.


You know what I really miss ?? When I could and used to pack my backpack with snacks and go out running around town park 5 or 10 hours get up next day and do same. Well I wont be doing that Ever again too much damage and pain. What does One do when had everything he ever dreamed of and lost it ?? Dont even want to think about future there is nothing I want there anymore.

Bit of an odd bump, but in the Ubuntu 19.04 installer, it shows Prodigy Fat of the Land during the setup up screens :)
 
It’s a very sad story which I believe may have came about from his childhood having read the aforementioned write up.

It’s really made me question my own life. Successful own company, amazing home, marriage and other material things but often get very down maybe because of the immense responsibilities of life and like Keith, a complete ***t of a father but luckily I have a very strong sense of survival which drives me.

For all the nice things I have in life, walking our dogs and doing really quality things that cost nothing gives me the most satisfaction.

Keith achieved a lot and obviously provided pleasure to millions through his music and persona so at least he had comfort in bowing out knowing he’d leave a legacy behind despite his struggles. My biggest fear is to leave this world having not made it at least a slightly better place and this cannot be said for Keith.

Utter respect to the guy for dealing with it all.

People often refer to those who take their own life to be cowards and selfish but it couldn’t be more the opposite

I guess it's easy to become frustrated with the loss of youth and things we used to love. I'm sure there are things out there that you would love but have yet to be discovered. I suppose in some ways I'm at a stage where I've lost some of my passion for things and have been idling around looking for things that excite me. Some of my closest friends now hitting thier 40s are feeling it I know.

Maybe something lower impact like mountain biking would still be exciting? There are plenty of non chemical things to enjoy if you take to the time to look. Hope all is okay with you anyway.

Why is not being married with kids "a problem".

Is this like the "one true way" you should live your life? I hear this a lot from - strangely enough - people who are married with children.

Probably because people who are in that position have experience of a life without it. They know which they prefer. My life in a relationship and with my daughter is a million times more full than my old life without.

Until the marriage falls apart (statistically likely for anyone in this country). And the kids end up collateral in the tussles between the former partners.

I guess it's good while it lasts, is what you mean ;)
 
Single people kill themselves. Married people kill themselves. Divorced people kill themselves. "Successful" people, "unsuccessful" people - everyone's at it.

Pointing fingers at any group smells of protesting too much.

Said much better than I did.

Being married with kids is not the magic bullet to happiness and fulfilment.

If I remember right your goal in life was to get a pet cat in your parents basement. Now I appreciate there are different strokes for different folks but there is a reason why people with relationships and children probably push that lifestyle. It's pretty standard human behaviour.

Unfortunately less people tend to push the life of kitty litter and lonely cat cuddles.
