CarolAnn 926 Posted December 20, 2006 His so called 'mainstream' novels are dodgy at best and all five of his ex-wives said he was hard work! My wife says that about me. So, how are the 'mainstream' novels coming along, Godot? Or should I ask yer wife? Not mainstream enough, she says. It's about this funny little cyber world where everyone has a bizarre name and tries to predict when people are going to die. My agent says it's far fetched and ridiculous. So's Cory Doctorow and he sells books like hotcakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted December 21, 2006 David Icke Despite his claims to the contrary, arguably a very public nervous breakdown. Didn't notice the predicted volcanic eruptions or the Isle of Arran sinking in 1992. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harvester Of Souls 40 Posted December 23, 2006 The pinnacle had to be Tommy Cooper's total physical and mental breakdown. Just like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Pooka 26 Posted December 23, 2006 ..... well if we are to be literal, I suppose David Niven, Stephen Hawking and Dudley Moore had very definite nervous breakdowns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morbidillo 1 Posted June 1, 2007 The late Jeremy Brett (one of the best Sherlocks) was very cruelly sent up by the Sun because he'd dared to have a mental illness. How did The Sun do that exactly?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted July 23, 2007 The late Jeremy Brett (one of the best Sherlocks) was very cruelly sent up by the Sun because he'd dared to have a mental illness. How did The Sun do that exactly?? In a cartoon involving a lazy stereotype. Cannot recall more than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,219 Posted July 23, 2007 I believe she did. She is also known for knocking back the sauce. So, was she so manically depressed that she turned to the bottle for solace or was she just a piss artist who became depressed because she couldnt control it?
