John would be the first in line to take the p out off himself.

I really hope it isnt. I am so hoping for a sensible, compassionate non sensationalist view of the realities of Tourettes in all its forms.
Too many ignorant morons out there who want to make it into some big cruel joke. People need educating.

There was a really good one on C4 last year I think. They took a coach load of tourettes sufferers on holiday or something similar. I think John Peel was presenting it, it was really interesting.

feel a bit odd though when it's BNP supporters lining up to have a laugh.

only i'm not laughing, or at least not all the time.

There was some classic quotes last night that will live on in my head for a while though, ones like "another gay man".."ginger pubes" and "fat slag"


And if me making this thread highlights the condition then thats anotther job done, so if you think I'm making light of a sad situation then Yes I am, but to say I'm laughing at a situation is wrong and unfounded jonono.
