That's almost as bad as "My father was a milkman but I never knew him".

Is that why you shaved his head? So his hair wouldn't cushion the impacts?

I have just thought of the best example of this.


When I left Uni I went for a job at a library that I used to use - Brent Town Hall library.

There was a woman of her late forties (at a guess) who used to work there (and may still do, she seemed to have been there for many years) who had tourettes.

She'd be working her way along the rows of shelves, she'd make squeaks and whistles. then she'd shout something random. Then shed start making noises and once in a while it would just reach a crescendo of swear words. Everyone there ignored it (most people were 'regulars'), but newcomers were always rather surprised.

Craig has told this to a few people, but a lot of people refuse to even believe it.

I always wondered if she had the condition when applying for the job, or if she developed it during a long library career.

guess you can claim benefits if you suffer from Tourettes? I'd imagine it would make many jobs very difficult to acquire?

Sounds about right. I hate people.


It is actually pretty much understandable, people are idiots, and I would hate them if I had to deal with them everyday.

Somewhere like Woolworths or Tesco where you're forced to work on a till for a full shift would certainly make you hate people. Fortunately we're more relaxed at my place, so you can go and wonder off and do other stuff.
