His dad was ok, but whenever I see Jr he always seems a bit, how can I put it, trigger happy. Like he's riding his adrenaline. Does that make sense? He has the mannerisms of someone who's got too much going through his head (which is bizarre really).
Ok, so far tonight I've rubbished Nicki Minaj, Madonna and George Bush. Perhaps I should go to bed now before I get on to anyone else famous.

George bush jr, mannerisms of someone with too muchj going on in head but the performance of someone with too little goin on in head. Brilliant, brilliant.
Yes i know what you mean though.
Incidentally, for the same sort of reasons i understand why boris johnson's intelligence is so often missed and why stephen fry's is made so much of.
There, i topped ypu, thats four i have had a small pop at.

Now I am not posh.....but all 3 of mine had archery lessons and middle son even had fencing lessons!
Amazing what they do at a normal comprehensive.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -
Regarding archery, a friend of mine was researching a book on how different tribal societies around the world constructed their dwellings.
After a visit to Papua New Guinea for a TV documentary a tribe asked to come and see Britain, which was then arranged. They were deeply underwhelmed about life in Britain and the only thing about the UK that impressed them was that we put feathers on our arrows (they went to see an archery contest).
They'd never thought to put feathers on and relied on heavy arrows for stability until he took them to see the archery club, but they took the idea home and became the first tribe in their valley to use this technology. I think he was worried he'd broken Starfleet's Prime Directive (sorry, showing my age here, nobody'll know what I'm talking about)
.
Although he needn't have worried; technology's spreading everywhere and as a sign of the times he was later facebook friended by one of the tribal elders.

I take it that you really mean DD michaels, either that or I am impressed by the extent of your polygamy;)Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.
