Why don't you ring citizen's advice and tell them how you feel. I am sure they will put you into contact with someone who can help you.

You're not going to get a sane answer on here seeing it is not the first time you've asked this.

actually I'm not sure anyone could help this odd person, wildwood and not sure they would want to.

As to an answer - If you were to do this quite ridiculous thing one thing which would be for sure, the distress you would cause the train driver would far outweigh anything you may or may not feel, so think up something else which doesn't involve another human being at all.

you have to admit that the question is thought provoking. A bit like, would feel any pain or hear the bang from a gun fired at point blank into you temple?

There's one branch of scientific curiousity where I am more than happy to let others do the research . . . no matter how long I have to wait for someone to write a paper on the findings of their experiments.

Pretty instant I think.

If you think how far a train travels in one second, the time it takes to top you is a tiny fraction of a second.

Just one thing ... make sure it's a "through" train, and not one that's slowing down to stop, otherwise you could just get wedged under the wheel - which is going to smart a bit.

Oh, and "what else would happen"? What sort of question is that? What else do you have in mind?

not sure what would happem if it rolled over your neck, it it hit you head on at 70mph you would be 'gloved' in that all your skin would be removed, any faster than that and you would be in little bits

888sal LOL. Yep, a change, but equally irritating for the passengers.

Point of order (Jayne raises her hand) I was on a tube in London once and we had to stop because somebody had jumped under it.

But sorry tatomuck - didn't think to ask him what it was like. Actually, I'm not sure if they could find his ears or his mouth.


Hey dot, being "gloved" - not that's gotta hurt !

Just one last thing. If you're planning a "cry for help", don't go for the train thing. Try ...

overdose = stomach pump ... good cry for help (but remember to leave your door open so you can be saved)

cut wrists = bandages ... good cry for help (door, as above)

throw self off building = few broken bones ... good cry for help (but not too high a building. Not Canary WHarf, say)

However ...

head under train = NOT a cry for help. Just ... dead.

Don't forget to phone the local papers first. You don't want to miss your 15 minutes of (posthumous) fame just because the reporter is covering a story about noisy neighbours somewhere down the road.
