Major selling up

From Keith:

Hi chaps, just to let you all know that i paid Andy a visit today and he seems in good spirit, the only injuries are bruising to his upper arm and from the seat belt.Although i didn't want to pri regards the accident he said that he had, had bad news that day and was in a very emotional state, he went for a drive and cant remember much after that. But as stated he seems OK, but who knows what may be going on in his head ?.So whether he meant to do it i wouldn't like to say but would rather give him the benefit of the doubt.

Had the same message as well.

Sounds like Andy might be going back to his "random passing out" phase (scared the shit out of us when he first did it)

Stress related narcolepsy perhaps.....

Or schizophrenia.

He isn't even allowed to drive due to his condition....

erm... it gets worse... he's just made the local TV news...

Quite a shock to hear about an explosion in Chesterfield and then have Andy's house shown on TV...

Good heavens - I wonder if it was a policeman playing with pyro he knew nothing about? Andy needs to looked after for a while, clearly he is in a mental mess - how disturbed do you have to be before the state does something about it?

This may have a been a cry for help?

Yes I'm sure it was a dumb copper who set a MkV off by accident and burnt his hand... how many times to we see that happen during a game...

How many 'cries for help' does it take? Police have been to his house before now, he has been pulled off a multi-story car park, has crashed his car deliberately...

Sheeit. I hope they don't try and throw the anti-terrorism laws at him. It seems like they're treating it reasonably sympathetically. The report isn't sensationalist.

Oh, and it has to get a lot worse before they do anything.

An ex of mine (Goth) a couple of years ago cut her wrist quite badly with broken glass in front of me and a social worker. The social worker left the scene because "The situation was a risk to her because there was a weapon in use", they did not follow up despite her later being diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.

I hope the Police psych screen Andy and get him admitted for his own sake.....

One thing, the Police may confiscate his computer and will find this site I imagine, not that we need to be worried about anything, but it might be worth noting.

I'm not sure he actually uses his computer to access this site anyway.

Jeez what a mess...I suspect Sectioning will await followed by a spell in an institution . God help him having had other friends go down that route.

Feck me - talk of bombs and all sorts. Here is the truth:

“On searching the property some stuff has been moved on to a bed and something has flashed and banged.
“The officer involved suffered a hand injury,” he said.

Pillock.

Oh bugger.

Hope Andys ok.

Oh. Fuck.

yeah...

I'll leave it with you guys if anything needs to be done on here.

I'm off on hols for a week. I'll be without internet, but with my phone.

See you at the pocket... though I think only Dave is going.

Any updates on Andy.

I no longer have his number to check myself.

(can someone text his number to 07827 668469, cheers guys)

Last I heard was that Andy has now accepted he needs help but I don't know what came of any charges following his arrest (that came about because they turned up at his house following up a call concerned about Andy's well-being). Seems to be pot-luck whether he answers his phone or replies to messages - last time I saw him he didn't pick the phone up to any of the constant incoming phone calls.

Cool, i just dont want him to think i dont care so i can just send him a text, dont matter if i dont get a reply. Just want him to know i'm bothered whether hes getting on ok.
