Monday is most common day for suicide
http://www.guardian.co.uk/medicine/story/0,11381,1556840,00.html

The dawn of the new millennium on January 1 2000 brought the largest daily number of suicides on recent record in England and Wales, according to a report yesterday by the Office for National Statistics.

While most of the nation was recovering from a night of celebration, 23 men and women reached the point of despair at which they took their lives - more than double the daily average over the past 10 years.


As the world has got a lot worse this century, I feel they got out while the going was good...

Pity they missed out on the effects of the Millenium Bug tho'! ;-)

2. Night of celebration, pah!
I was recovering from working overnight, baby-sitting our computers and networks just in case our extensive testing had missed something. Still, easiest grand I ever made.
