“But Cats Though”

A couple of months ago I described how I’d been ticcing a lot about goat sex. Well, it seems that my tics have moved on again, though predictably not very far. All they’ve done is jump species.

First it was “Fuck a sheep’ then “Goat sex”, and now it’s “Cat sex.”…

Postal Piggy

This morning I got an unexpected package through the post. It was small and well wrapped in cardboard and tape. In fact it was so well packaged I had to use a biro to break in. The longer it took, the more curious I became.…

Happy Endings

We had a leisurely start to the morning, the sun was out again and none of us felt in any hurry to leave the field that’d been our home for the past few days. Slowly but surely we did eventually begin to pack up and say our goodbyes.…

We Are Family

When I last wrote I was just about to lock up the castle and head off to spend a weekend camping in a field at the first Tourettes Family Friendship Festival. I was bursting with excitement and I haven’t been disappointed.…

Speeding Towards Freedom

I’m beside myself with excitement and it’s got nothing to do with Piggy!

This weekend I’m swapping my London castle for a tent in the grounds of another castle – in Northumberland. Leftwing Idiot, Poppy, Claire and I are about to head off to meet Ruth and then together we’ll set out on our adventure.…

It might not sound that glamorous, but it’s going to offer me increased independence and safety and I’m very excited about it.…

A Week Away

I was hanging out with Fat Sister at the castle this Sunday. She was mostly doing exam revision and as a result I heard more online neurology podcasts than I’d have liked.

While she was studying I enjoyed pottering around the castle.…

Awful and Unlawful

I’ve just read an article about Ben Gerrard, a Brighton man with Tourettes who was asked to leave a shop because of his tics. Ben had popped into a hardware shop after work to buy some tools when he was ordered to leave by the owner of the shop for ‘Making silly noises.’…
