Someones probably talked about it already but I can't find the post.

So what did people think about that programme on BBC1 last night. I'd only ever heard of Tourettes syndrome, and only knew it made you swear.

I felt really sorry for the people with the Syndrome - it's like having hiccups all your life but instead of hiccups letting out swear words or random screams.

I just don't get how that syndrome works. Confusing stuff.

I tried not to laugh as it was a serious condition but when he was walking through the supermarket the looks old people gave him were mildly funny.

It was also nice to see the condition hadn't made that older guy down. Nice to see he still had a sense of humour! I was laughing when he was talking about the problem he would have if he joined the army! Both guys were lovely, it's sad that such a disease can present them as being rude and troublesome..

Tony, why all the clerical garb at the end? No offence intended to religious people.

I have to admit, I laughed during a few moments in that program.

But yes, it is tragic. However, it seems as though the bloke is coping okay, which is cool.

I didn't see it, but there was a big stur at school about it, with everyone talking about the swearing especially. I did manage to see a little of Facelifts From Hell a few weeks back though :0)

Ah well, it is sad, but it's a fact or lesson of life (or both!). In a perfect world, we'd all be happy, but that's impossible.
