Given that the person to whom you referred says on his own website that he's been sectioned under the Mental Health Act, I think that you were on fairly sound turf there Flintstone.

Yes, but having vaguely followed the case, he also says (or said) that it was a stitch up.

I wonder what words we like to use for people suffering from cerebral palsy, or polio, or having had their legs blown off in the service of their country?

Is "well bonkers" not a medical term then?

Difficult that.

I have the occasional urge to run amuck with a large sharp instrument, perform citizens arrests on people that p*** me off, or just go fly where and when I like and to hell with what anybody else's rules say.

If I actually did any of these things rather than just fantasising about them, would I be ill, or criminal, or just failing to show adult control and responsibility? And in any of these cases, would it be reasonable to describe me as "well bonkers".

Where's the line between "eccentric", "fighting for the right of the individual" and "well bonkers"?

Does wearing a bow tie signify anything? :whistle:

I think it's somewhere on the eccentric scale, but acceptable if you tie your own.

What if you tie someone else's?

I guess it depends on where you tie it....
What if the Hokey Cokey IS what it's all about?!

Nah: People are too busy on here creating whingeing thread after thread about him rather than going to the cops with all the evidence.........

Meanwhile resident Forumites have to step carefully over the threads imported from PPRuNe to avoid tripping and falling into them......
