Please can any medical practioners (probably only psychiatrists need apply) explain why I feel an overwhelming desire to smash things up and shout at people whenever I inadvertently watch Michael Mcintyre on the telly.

In reply to pasbury:

I would suggest, that the first thing a psychiatrist would say, is not to inadvertently watch things that turn you into a mentalist.

In reply to pasbury:

Because he keeps noticing stuff about your life and you think he's following you?

In reply to pasbury:

My diagnosis is that you’re insane.
You should smash up your telly.

In reply to pasbury:

Don't worry, you're perfectly sane

In reply to pasbury:

Switch to Detectorists and it all melts away

In reply to pasbury:


Congratulations, you are perfectly sane.

In reply to pasbury:
This in my opinion this is a normal reaction to the untalented MR Mcintyre ......Diagnosis....... sane.

In reply to pasbury:

It's probably down to your frustration that the creeping advance of old age has caused you to forget where you put the remote and you're to bone idle to get up and switch channels manually

In reply to pasbury:


My diagnosis is you've got hypochondria, the feelings you're experiencing are totally normal, so stop thinking there's something wrong, there isn't.

In reply to timjones:


You're right, I think I'll go for a wander round the house trying to find it, fail, then sit down again.

In reply to pasbury:

This is an entirely rational response. Everyone else is mad for liking the screeching, irksome buffoon.

In reply to pasbury:

You should try yoga, meditation or prancercise.

In reply to timjones:

Have you ever tried changing the channels manually on a modern TV. That is enough to turn you insane!

In reply to pasbury:

My girlfriend (qualified experienced psychologist of some years) thinks yours is a normal reaction. I wouldn't worry.

In reply to The New NickB:

You're not far wrong, but after a few seconds of randomly prodding the buttons you're unlikely to be watching anything at all

In reply to pasbury:

“Have you ever noticed”

“Have you ever noticed”

“Look at my bouncy hair”

“I had a regular job for about 3 months and now make a living as a comedian based just on that fact”

Bouncy hair, noticed, PR, bouncy hair, noticed.....hello Palladium!

In reply to pasbury:

He really grinds my gears too.
I feel your pain.

In reply to pasbury:

Didn't you realise you were watching TV? My diagnosis is that you are accidentally at home when you should be at the "climbing gym" doing one arm pull ups. Maybe if you get tired you can watch the Friday night Vid on this site, but on no account must you ever watch peak time family viewing slot television.

In reply to pasbury:
Yes, you are suffering from "middle class leftie syndrome". The classic symptoms are thinking that comedy has to be "edgy" and that a millionaire in a leather jacket with an earing shouting "Thatch" and "GeorgeW" loudly is the cue for outrageous hilarity. When you see people less clever and educated than you laughing at a comedian in a suit poking harmless fun at human foibles you are driven to paroxysms of entitled rage.

Sadly it may be incurable.

I bet you're looking forward to his Christmas Special x

In reply to pasbury:

I don't mind 'im! Quite funny I think!

You dislike Doug Scott but like MM?

I wish that was a troll....
