... I think the word you may be looking for is "mental".

well if its any consolation, I never met anyone who wasnt mad in one way or another. Some people are just more dangerous than others

Yep, and as I've pointed out to other people before the only person I represent a risk to is me.

I think I am a hunky stud - but 20 million women can't be wrong

I understand that this may be subjective, but it's not only my opinion but the opinion of four shrinks.

To paraphrase Dr Robin Lawrence at 96 Harley Street: "my crime is being me: unfortunately, that's also my punishment".

So they locked you up for being mental and only a danger to yourself? I think not

Pretending to be a doctor and getting a pregnant woman to run around is not really acceptable behaviour, mind you I have a confession, I once kicked a pregnant woman in the stomache

No, I was subjected to a custodial sentence (which, I'd point out, I was released from at the earliest opportunity - 40 days into a 16 week sentence) locked up for reasons which remain highly questionable and remain subject to formal review to this date.

Part of the reason for the review - the details of which I'm not going to go into here for reasons of space and time as much as anything else - is that the following individuals in the courtroom (or represented) recommended against a custodial sentence:

• Defence team (as one would expect and hope)
• Probation service (recommended a community service and treatment order)
• Court-appointed psychiatrist (recommended treatment order)
• Prosecution (recommended that at most a suspended sentence might be in order)

Note also: this was a first offence with no prior history of offending and no offending since been in full-time, regular, frequent treatment (summer 2007 - date).



I didn't see the reporting of this and can only guess as to the quality of the media coverage - sensationalism sells. Equally, I guess that none of the above appeared anywhere near the coverage.

I agree with you.

If that precis were factual, it'd be wholly unacceptable behaviour and I further agree with you that some of my actions during the time period being considered (October 2006 - June 2007) were wholly unacceptable.

Turning however to those nasty things, facts, I asked the pregnant woman to come off the exercise but - having no authority to order her off the exercise - was unable to force her off. I did however ask a paramedic who was on the exercise at the same time to look after her and she was taken home.

Me too, she had it coming! I did it repeatedly! Not done it for the past 42 (nearly 43 years).

heh heh.
I think that not only has the dam burst, but the foundations have gone as well. We'll never shut him up now
