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.

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.

We used to have this little act you did to showcase the effectiveness of the radiator sealant. You had a little bucket with a hole in the bottom, you’d fill it up with water then poured in this stuff and the hole got blocked, hey presto! Now, how many cases do you want? I went into this one back street garage, where the suspiciously gleeful young man said ‘follow me’ when I asked to see the boss. I found him (or at least the rear end of him) crouched under a sink in the rear of the garage, there was clearly some sort of crisis, but undaunted I started with the scripted spiel something along the lines of ‘say your radiator is leaking, what are you going to do?’ There came a deep menacing voice from underneath the sink ’if I come out from under here and there’s some prick with a bucket in his hand selling that sHit, I won’t be responsible for what happens!’ I got out of there as quickly as I could. That effectively was the end of my career as a door knocking sales man. My confidence was shot to pieces.

Back in the mid eighties I had a job selling Wynns Oils to garages all over London. 20 garages a day on my call sheet, all in an Honda Acty van or similar, absolutely hideous, never sold a goddam thing in 3 or so weeks. Spent the last week just sitting in car parks till it was time to go back to the office. Last straw was when some quick thinking Asian garage owners actually gave me back a couple of trays of the stuff, which infuriated my boss. Dark days.

Interesting board there Doug. I can see (knowing the answer) why it went the way it did.

Driving is purely getting there these days, no fun whatsoever. Modern life and all that.

Don’t think you can disable them permanently, least I don’t think you can on my Ranger.

What’s in it for Andrew to spill the beans? If there are any beans to spill. Theres no way back to any kind of public life. As you say, a slap on the wrist, complete disappearance from public life. Live out the remainder in relative comfort.

Chatter on the internet, is just that, meaningless. People putting 2 and 2 together and making 500.

Weather has finally turned here. Might have to do some gardening this weekend.

That was where his problems came from, an inability to understand what he can yak to his mates about, and what he can’t.

Interesting read.

Whats the hp of the JD? edit Google says 25 hp, so yes, easily.

When you suddenly get a moment of absolute clarity…this is the real world.

As I understand it it yes.

He’s always struck me as a very pompous, entitled and above all a stupid person. His interview with Emily Maitliss was catastrophic for his public image. Who knows where this will end? With him in prison?

Wow!
