    Thanks Sir C, searched for suicide rather than suicidal, I will try harder next time, promise.

    Walter Cronkite

    Dammit -- a perfectly good chance to use the Suicide thread.... wasted away. SC Ha Sir C, I didn't even know there was one. Felt it was more pertinent here (plus it seems the thread hasn't been tagged as Dead) Edit: Thanks, it has now. Still can't find a specific Suicide thread though, must be missing something.

    Awful Anagrams

    I'm getting slightly annoyed during my searches that Coroner and Crooner are almost the same. More than once I have clicked on a link only to find it's some dusty Justice who got sidelined somehow in his legal career, rather than a famous 30s/40s heartthrob.
