Over the last few months, I've seen various topics discussing wether or not "the mental" is:

a) a comic saying of value

b) made up by internet types and not true, but more demeanding to women.

I wasn't sure which side of the fence to sit on, until I saw this youtube clip:

The mental exists, alright.

I just can't comprehend why they would do that. It's completely surreal.

As far as I recall, they were both suffering from severe mental problems. The girl who was sent to prison later stabbed a guy to death.

I think you were right, can't remember the exact details. I only saw it on a link here a while back.

Edited to add, here is a link to the full video, just had a look on youtube. Not sure if it's safe for work as it is a little brutal.

There is an ocean of difference between the tongue in cheek 'mental' as discussed on here and mentally unstable. My concern lies with the safety of the emergency service personnel and the general public involved, not them.
They should both be sectioned. End of.

I have seen that clip before, shocking behaviour, but it does seem to prove that The Mental is real.


Another example to prove The Mental is real is to tell any woman that her top doesn't match her skin tone. biggrin Really only do it if you are feeling brave, or have a shiny thing to deflect The Mental with.

All motorways are numbered and lettered for ease of identification amongst responders/workers.

You may know it as the M6 North, but in parts it changes to East/West. To avoid confusion the "Northbound" is labelled as the Alpha and the "South" Bravo. All motorways are similarly labelled - have a look at the side of the motorway at either the orange boxes (which may have something like 8284A) or the new Driver Information Signs every 500m (178.4, B, M6)

So to answer your question, they were on the Alpha, trying to cross the central reservation to the Bravo.

So these 2 nutters cause all this mayhem and then we end up taking care of them in hospital? I would have either shot them on the spot, or sent them back where they came from. dheads.

It does not end there, they where both arrested after appearing in court two days later they where released and one of them, the really mad one, promptly went straight out and murdered some poor guy in the street with a knife. Seriously, there is another thread somewhere that links to the article.

Back on topic the term 'The Mental' was invented by retarded internet types who say things like 'pwn'. Apparently putting 'The' infront of a word makes it funnier?

Anyone with a brain knows that it's 'Mental' or 'Mentalist' as popularised by Alan Partridge.

As said above, shoot them both, dump in a storm drain.
