Recently heard an interesting news report about a Satchi and Satchi employee who ended up killing himself. This has NOTHING to do with INFORMIX. It went like this: The gentleman concerned was using attempting to please himself by hanging upside down over a vault of water in his back garden. To achieve this he tied himself up, attaching the other end of the rope to his garden roller. The roller was pushed away and he swung himself out over said water... Fine so far. Unfortunately he found he couldn't get back to dry land. For 16 hours he cried out for help (don't know how they worked that out) without success. The roller then moved.....and down he went!
