Is 10:15 in the morning too early for a beer?

You are celebrating Maiden tix, it's past noon in London, so no.

Yeah I was telling myself that too.

"Somewhere in the world right now it is totally a respectable time to drink."

I swear Im not an alcoholic. Funny story, I was staying at my parents house for a bit last year around New Years and I had stashed a bottle of scotch in my backpack to take with me for New Years celebrations. As I was on my way out the door my parents pulled me aside and told me they were worried about how much alcohol I was drinking. Kinda hard to keep a straight face as I reassured them that I was not an alcoholic while carrying a rather large handle of hard liquor.

My love for recursion is starting to wear thin. Overdose.

Should I be concerned that someone close to me has asked me if I would be sad if they would die several times over the last couple of years? I have autism and I'm oblivious in many social situations. I realised recently that these questions might be a sign of them considering suicide, but I'm not sure. She has in the past said that she considers herself a failure and wants more out of life.

Absolutely. Such questions are very much a cry for help in my experience. Oftentimes a single "yes" is all it takes for the person in question to change their mind on suicide. I have a friend who asked me almost the exact same question. A couple years later he told me that me answering yes helped him change his mind. Today he is doing a lot better but it kinda shows you how fragile the human mind can be.

Looks like I won't be having a work placement in Netherlands next summer, which is disappointing.

Now for Plan B... Scotland.

This is 100% correct. I think it comes down to knowing someone cares about them and their existence. Just my 2 cents.
