What after watching a programme last night you are qualified now to spot a person with Tourettes? Or did you know already that they were afflicted with "a syndrome"???
I watched Sweeney Todd - great stuff - I love Ray Winstone - he's the daddy!!!

Missed it. When I used to work in a supermarket we had quite a few folk who came in with it. The first couple of times is quite hard to concentrate on what you're actually doing, but you soon start to get annoyed at other people's stupid reactions (ie. general amusement)

I watched some of it, was interesting stuff, i didnt realise that it also involved the non shouting side of things. There was someone at school in my year that had this little shake of the head thing and only after watching the programme last night i now know that he must of had tourettes.

Saw some of it, had the potential to be the funiest programme on tv but didn't live up to expectations.
Feel sorry for the poor people who get this though, it must be so difficult trying to get on with things normally.

Stupid quote of the year or what
:x I don't think you can just "spot" Tourettes just like that. The people you're talking about could have a nervous twitch, muscle spasms, anxiety, there's loads of little quirky things people have, it doesn't mean they have Tourettes though. My friend has a twitch and often has head jerks, sudden movements, he hasn't got Tourettes though.

I was joking, as I went on to say in my post I feel sorry for the poeple who have it and it must be tough etc etc.I'm convinced I have Tourettes (isn't everyone?)
For me, it manifests itself in shouting the name of the next tune coming in, whilst listening to music, especially in nightclubs. A lot of people say how amazing I am etc (Robbie G - You listenin'?), but really I find it a bit of a burden.
Anyway, last night's program was not a patch on the original (Panorama?) documentary "Jon's Not Mad", that was on all those years ago. The sight of his sister not even blinking (the family were told it worsens the condition if those around him react to it) as the guy (Jon) spat on her cheek at the dinner table was priceless.
I cant believe the BBC released it on DVD (yes, I do!)

I have that DVD...
The follow up programme is jaw dropping:
He's in his 20's, coaching a kid's football team, hurling obscenities from the touchline whilst all the Mum's and Dad's act like they can't hear their beloved offspring being called a f*ckwitt or a tw4t...
