"Next Freeola Meetup @ Bridgend, Wales (21 Suicides)"

Sorry couldnt resist. =P But seriously, what the hell is going on? Why are 17 people hanging themselves in the same area? And why is the Daily Mail saying it's heavy metal and video games to blame?

Why are the police downplaying the deaths and saying they're unrelated and why are the parents keen to get rid of the media coverage? Are they worried it'll just encourage more kids to commit suicide? That's ridiculous, we all had a tough time growing up but none of us ever contemplated suicide. There's something weird going on in the South of Wales and I'm certain this mornings suicide won't be the last.

17th Suicide discovered this morning

What do the rest of you think?

I've met quite a few on the internet, since '96. Though back then it really wasnt seen as a good idea as the internet was still so young. Now it's quite normal, like that Facebook s**t I just read about in the news. Apparently she posted something about wanting sex and of the 100 odd guys she's friends with she's slept with about 50 so far. I think she's in Bristol Hippyman.

I've met 3 people from the internet. I used to think like my nan. "Everyone on the internet is a paedophile".

I think i've met everyone i wanted to. There are others i wouldnt mind if i ran into but i wouldnt travel half the length of the country to say hello.

Ah, perhaps I just dreamt the others ;) I wouldnt mind meeting Grandprix and hippyman one day. I guess that will only evet happen if we have it at Silverstone or The Memorial Stadium in Horfield.

4?
I'm aware of plenty that involved 2 people but only know of 1 that involved more than that

There have been 4 Freeola Meets (involving more than 2 people) so far. I think the next one is in May.

There isn't one planned as far as i'm aware. At least not that i'm going to.

So when's the next Freeola meetup, eh?

-Adopts strange voice-

Tsk tsk, all these young people hanging around the place, don't they have anything better to do?

Ok, that was dreadful...

The only link is that they're influenced by each other. There could be 100 and the police would still say there is no link, because technically there isn't.
