Talking of delusions, what makes you think that YOU represent "the
rest of us" or "the world" ? I have yet to see one single person
support your behaviour.

You seem determined to substantiate your own belief that the world is
against you. You were clearly disappointed when you found that people
here were not in the least bothered about your self-proclaimed
sexuality, and so you have had to resort to insulting the most
respected members of the group in order to confirm it.

Well congratulations Jamie, it worked.

Mr Punch:
Yes you were, you little scrote! He was wasn't he, boys and girls?
[juvenile audience roars in chorus 'Yes he ****ing well was!']
Now now, boys and girls, no swearing or Mr Plod the Policeman will put you
in prison!

Jamie, leering:
You convince yourself that people are against you when they're really
not, and then hit out at them, this time by rudely calling me a liar.
[enter stage left Mr Plod, but instead of arresting the audience for
swearing he takes out his large trungeon and procedes to whack Jamie over
the head with great vigour]

Mr Plod: Look you nasty [whack] little piece of ****e [whack] I've had
enough of your coming here telling your lies [whack] and generally
annoying honest citizens! [whack whack whack]

Mr Punch:
That's the way to do it! That's the way to do it!

[Mr Plod pulls the squealing Jamie to his feet and marches him off to
prison]

Jamie:
Ohh please don't hurt me Mr Plod! You're a very handsome policeman!

Mr Plod encourages Jamie on his way with a trungeon thrust to his rear
end.]

Jamie:
Ohh I didn't know you cared!

Bill

I feel so sad for Bill when I read this. The guy is ill, and deserves help
and
support.

He has support - an army of loyal readers who find his musings quite
entertaining.

A lot of people, when faced with a spiteful diatribe like the one above,

do stop snivelling.

Both the broken leg and the mental illness can
be improved by appropriate treatment.

I am glad you found the outcome positive.

How you must love to imagine that all of the above is true - a glimpse into
the sick fantasies of a sick man.
Problem with fantasies is, you can't substantiate them with any detail or
evidence, which is why you never do.

A lot of people, when faced with a spiteful diatribe like the one above,
might have gotten aggressive and told Bill to f- off. But you wouldn't
tell him to f- off if he had a broken leg - he has an illness that needs
treatment and I wish that he would get it, for his own sake. He has his
whole adult life behind him and I have the dreadful feeling that it might
all have been wasted.

Now, although it's fair to say that a man with a broken leg might not be
spiteful and abusive, one has to sympathise with the particular symptoms
that the injury or illness presents. I understand and accept that a man
with a broken leg may cause an obstruction on a public footpath and
perhaps need assistance up steps. I also accept that a man with a
personality problem may offer insults on a newsgroup. Both the broken leg
and the mental illness can be improved by appropriate treatment.

Recently we've used another method. I put the presentation on a DVD and

At one time we used to use PCs to play out Powerpoint sequences for the
prison and hotel systems, but nowadays, often as not, we'll use a DVD
player
and just keep replacing it. The staff can do it.

It's also less easy for the staff (or others) to surreptitiously alter
the wording to include naughty words. They could swap the DVD for
another home-made one but that would probably be noticed more quickly.

The staff are the main problem. At one time there used to be DVD players in
the wing offices, and the staff would operate them. The main problem was
that the staff would want to play a bluey but would not want the residents
to see it. They would tamper with the connections to this end, and would
then fail to get them back. This would result in a call-out, no small matter
when the distance is 100 miles and it takes an hour to get from the gate to
the job. I have succeeded in persuading the bosses to let me centralise DVD
playout and satellite receivers in most of the establishments where this
didn't exist from day one. This is only possible when there is one big RF
system, but generally there is. Even with centralised playout there can be
snags. At one establishment the playout room was accessible to the residents
for photocopying purposes! Just imagine the fun and games! At another the
residents got hold of a Sky remote and found that they could operate a sat
box from a classroom across the corridor, through the tiny windows in the
doors. They would switch from Zee TV to a pop music channel, just to spite
the ethnics.

Radio on the mains can work. My auntie lived so near the Holme Moss
transmitter that the electric cooker could get radio 4.

Did each ring produce a different station?

Have they stopped transmitting data via the national grid since a few
aircraft thought that the data in wet weather made them think they
were landing beacons?

The fillings in me teeth used to get the Light Programme, the Home Service
or the Third Programme, depending on how strong the pickled onion was that I
was chewing at the time. On a good night I could even get Radio Luxembourg
if I sucked a sherbet lemon......................:-)
