urbantravels, disjecta membra, I so second the motion to nominate Dame Judi Dench as the Countess of Mar. I just watched her in the film, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel--wonderful. Maybe we can find Maggie Smith a spot too. I swear, our collective story has so many great parts and themes by now that the best actors would want to claw their way into it.

Deleted rant. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. ;) I still think she should leave out the bit about lunch, though.

*sings, with apologies to the BonzoDog Doo Dah Band* :p



He's the slimey gobsyhte psycho, baby, He's got a need.
He wants to control world mentality, his inner need
Wessely is the Nero of pyshciatry, he thinks he can even fly!
He's the Science Media Centre go to kind o' guy

He don't feel pleasure
he don't feel pain
If you were to knock him down he'd just smugly smile again
He'd write about it in the papers claiming Ghandi was the Taleban
Bullshit is all he's all about

He wakes up every morning with a smug grin upon his face
His natural psychopathy spills out all over the place

He's the non-lunch paying psycho, he's intelligent and clean
Know the kind of evil shitstain I do surely mean?
He's the merry Dr Lector of psychiatry, he loves himself second to none
He's a pain right in the bum!

He has no friends to let down,
he's of Humanity, not got a frikkin' clue!

Wessely is the bane of suffering patients, but, here comes the twist,
His version of reality simply does not exist!

*bows exhuberantly to the audience, and flips the finger to Dr WD40* :alien:

Anyone got a link to the Independent on Sunday correspondence where Simon Wessely claimes the Countess is harassing him? Would be good to see exactly what SW regards as harassment. Thanks

This is part of where I will express some confusion also Simon. You see I think she means the letter that was published in the Independent last Sunday; which implied I suppose that the article she and Prof Hooper, and Weir were cited in, was in some way further harassment of Wessely. He wasn't involved in that letter's production of course - though some may disagree.

[Shrug]. I am too preoccupied this morning to really get my head around it. I think there is a personal slight being assumed on Lady Mar's part from that letter alone, which has led to it all coming out. Gods alone know. Perhaps someone with their head screwed on will be able to articulate this better than I can?

What a ridiculous little man. The lunch scene is hilarious and definitely should be included in the screenplay that SilverbladeTE, alex3619, and justy are, I trust, busy working on.
:lol: Great now my diabolical mind is thinking get this made into a movie TV or the Big screen. Show all the stuff he's said along with his contradictions and see if hes crazy enough to take legal action for defamation. How many of his papers, studies, trails, speeches, etc are on the public record?

I don't know exactly when Laurel but very ancient family here - much history and happily still in our House of Lords (your Senate).

But the House of Lords doesn't actually pass legislation any more...does it? Trying to figure out how the UK government works makes my head hurt. What on earth is an "unwritten constitution"??

I'm making a casting recommendation for David Bamber as S.W. There are loads and loads of great British character actors who could do it, but Bamber does weaselly smarm so well. I'm inspired mainly by his performance as Cicero in HBO's "Rome," which I have watched many, many, many times.
