i have an update to Woodside59's "history of Parrott":
:
"Parrott - A brief history:
1. "[He/she/it/they] [is/are] shit"
2. "I've got a girlfriend, me!"
3. "I think you'll find that's wrong."
4. "YOU'RE ALL BULLYING ME (ESPECIALLY WICCA'D WITCH), THAT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! PARROTT SMASH!"
5. "I'm going now, for good. This is Ripley, signing off."
6. Repeat from 1, with added historical revisionism, self-satisfaction and sly misogyny."
i suggest we add
"5a - claim you have a deformity, physical or mental, that may/may not explain away your behaviour. Pretend to know nothing about it, just that youve got it, even if the nature of the illness you have chosen makes not knowing about it an impossibility"
witness here
i rest my case.
no apoligies for length, poor thing hasnt been out much recently......

Read as Asperger's. I've been accused of having it, maybe I do, maybe I don't. Doesn't really affect my day to day life and I never put it on work medical forms as it doesn't merit inclusion. If they had "Bloody odd" I'd tick that box but they don't have one... as for Asperger's Syndrome, typical symptoms include a lack of social skills, obsessing over given topics, a preference of adults to company rather than people their own age, above average intelligence, and heightened emotional sensitivity.

"AS is characterized by:[1][2]
* limited interests or preoccupation with a subject to the exclusion of other activities;
* repetitive behaviors or rituals;
* peculiarities in speech and language;
* socially and emotionally inappropriate behavior and interpersonal interaction
* problems with non-verbal communication; and
* clumsy and uncoordinated motor movements."
Ah. Fuck. That's all of /talk buggered then!

someone I don't really know asked me, in all honesty, if I had AS.
To be honest, I was just in a mood.

try this: - Asberger's is thought of by some as just how far up the "male" scale you are. If you go up the extreme end, you end up with those symptoms. So don't worry, youve probably just got lots of testosterone sloshing about inside you (i know i have, what with being rather hairy and fond of extreme activities)
