Raj Persuad I didn't think it was ever possible - but a psychiatrist has brought me immense happiness. Raj was found unfit to practice today after copying somebody else's writing. I am rolling on the floor, hugging my stomach from too much laughter. Although he supposedly works at the hospital I go to, I have never met the guy. Can you just imagine it? I'd probably say: 'Why are the hell are you telling me I am mad for, at least I can write my own books.' HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

I never knew filming in public was illegal. What about cctv? Could you attacha camera serenedipitously and pretend it was there for security reasons?

Thanks Dolly. I relate totally to what you say about schizophrenia having had symptoms (or so-called symptoms) from before teenage till recent years. I am feeling inspired to write more about my own experiences and am sure your words will inspire others!

Ah. Did you dream that you'd bought a drum kit or did the drum kit dream that you played them?! And was Karl Malden really a drummer. We should be told. And if you loose the KLN, Karl Malden is an anagram of REAL MAD. Spooky!

No we really did talk about spaceships - has to be the most fun 'bored' meeting I've ever attended! Thanks for being involved.

Losing it sounds like it was a ball. Sorry I missed it. Any chance of any more?

Ah, I wondered where that barking star went. I used to look for it every night when all the others came out to play. Anyway I think you're really a supernova!
