I love that sad, deflated one on the right.

Edit: Duh! I see I wasn't the first to mention that!

I clicked on the home study hashtag. I have a feeling that Sharpe ignored step 2 in this link (my emphasis) :

Bloody hell, CBT for everything. Why not CBT for broken leg?

 

Just wait and see.

Sharpe looks scary. Seriously.

 

I'm so glad I don't live in Oxford.

 

Many years ago I went to a BPS (British Psychological Society) meeting in Edinburgh as a student. Both W and S were there. It's the only time I've seen them in the flesh. S had a goatee beard. We passed them in a corridor after their presentation. All over each other, thought they were about to kiss.

 

Puts whole new angle on the "West Wing".

He looked pretty scary at the NICE stakeholder engagement meeting in Jan. He was on a table with the Countess of Mar.

 

what were they doing?

 

LOL you'll have to ask @Nathalie Wright as she was At the same table.

 

@Sly Saint it's such agood thing that I didnot have this imge in my mind at last week'sAfME AGM as countess amar was giving a serious talk on advocacy and i would have had difficulty keeping a straight face.

 

I very much doubt it, as I am sure he's not quite..... 'kosher".......?

http://www.ok.org/companies/what-is-kosher/meat-dairy-pareve-setting-boundaries/

• Kosher meat must come from an animal that chews its cud (he certainly knows how to do that!) and has split hooves. (Cows, sheep and goats are kosher; rabbits, kangaroos and fox are not).
• Kosher fowl are identified by a universally accepted tradition and include the domesticated species of chickens, Cornish hens, ducks, geese and turkeys. The Torah names the species of fowl that are forbidden, including all predatory and scavenger birds ('nuff said)..............

 

What the f. does "medically ill" mean? Is it another phrase made up by the BPS brigade so they can say "of course you're medically ill, your therapist understands that, we don't distinguish between the mind and body here, it's all medical ..."

would be interesting to see the 'service manual'
eta: not sure what to think about the last secondary outcome on the list
"death in the year post-randomisation"; but I'm sure they'd just say it's 'perfectly normal'
