    Still it would have made more sense to tell me, rather than just give the bullets to Lisyloo to fire at her leisure months after our last encounter!

    At least that's how most true blue bloods sort things out (now duelling has been stopped)!
  • I didn't give Lisyloo any bullets Quentin!!

    Should I have said 'Quentin you are a cantankerous old s*d who's upsetting my gentle, female sensibilities and I shall depart from these boards until you have seen the error of your ways'?

    If you didn't, then what was that all about then!!

    A Lady like you will have some empathy with the position I found myself in - (getting publicly accused out of the blue by Lisyloo (in June) of "losing" you (when our previous encounter was February) - when you had continued posting long after the Feb meeting!

    Unless there is another explanation - have you and Lisyloo ever been seen in the same room together????
  • Lol, who knows if we have?

    She and I are not one and the same I can assure you!

    Where am I even talking to you here, never mind arguing with you?

    What does the examination show that is not wholly dependent on the claimant saying 'yes i have pain when you move my head that way' or 'no that doesn't hurt'?

    There might be inappropriate signs, most "decent" doctors will do things like the waddell test or distraction tests to see whether the symptoms reported are consistent with those observed at examination.

    Of course the doctor often is reluctant to say that the claimant is faking or malingering and will leave the door open to a suggestion of pain disorders and so on, which gets even more complex and expensive. Shame a few of them can't grow some balls and say that they believe a claimant is exaggerating when that is what all the evidence suggests.
