Although it's to be expected by now there has been plenty of time and opportunity to destroy files,emails,and any other evidence of his own wrongdoing, along with others that may have been complicit or otherwise  involved.

The Twitter furore about that actor with Tourette’s shouting the N word during the BAFTAs last night is quite something.

 

No one knows what to say about it.

 

The subject of that film JD is local to me, decent guy from what I know.

Can remember as a youngster being quite impressed seeing him up the high street shouting all sorts at the police with no repurcussion.

 

Biggest laugh was his black lab, one day it had darted over the other side of the road and he was shouting it back nicely "here boy, good lad, come here boy...". The dog would start going towards him, tail wagging, then halfway over he'd erupt spitting and shouting "the dug's a c***, f the dug, f'in dug, get tae f" and it'd  turn back to the other pavement. Then he'd go nice again, the dog started towards him and he'd erupt again.

 

Did feel sorry for them both but it was hilarious to watch.

I first came aware of extreme Tourette’s when me and all my mates watched Johns Not Mad, we were all stoned (as usual) and its all we could talk about for weeks.

 

 

I have had friends with nervous tics, but nothing like that.

 

Its a hell of a thing.

I assume he didn’t pursue dog training as a vocation because that sounds pretty confusing. 
 

On flitting between communication styles, me and a mate took Sailor and mum’s (considerably less biddable) shepherd, Mecho (Misha - I don’t know - some Russian bullshit) out the other day. Mecho picked up a limp on a track by a flailed hedge. Obviously a thorn. Rolled him over. Checked his front paws. Moderate annoyance. Grabbed a back one and he bared his teeth at me. I’m not fuccing having that so I gave him a mixed tirade of growling, barking and some highly professional dog training phrases along the lines of, YOUFUCCINGSHOWMETHATLIPCUNT!

Just then, a jogger passed us, wearing a vest for a race that I know up north. A nice coincidence. Said hello and remarked on the smallness of the world. He sped up! Rude.
Anyway. Apparently snapping between tones so readily, “makes you look like a psycho.”

Right o. I’ll stay in character as a savage so he doesn’t think I’m odd then shall I.
