"not bad APPLES ! I saw a car the other day POTATOE !"

Lol with random everyday words.

I just watched it again before showing some mates of mine, and I had a severe stomach ache as I was laughing so hard. Whether or not its seemed as insensitive it is still quite funny. I do feel for the guy if you had that kind of condition and you had to live with it everyday. I would like to know what its like for him, as in does he know hes swearing etc. ?

16wantsI6: can you have a controlled conversation with your brother or does it get out of control at times ?

Whilst everyone in the UK are used to it I watched it and couldnt believe it was actually real.

This is the first time I've seen a case of someone actually having the disorder. Heres a link to the Youtube video..

Anyone ever met or seen anyone with this in real life before ?

When i was in the UK I was watching it and that Pete fella was funny. : His tourettes was a hoot. I thought he was drugs at first :

he is on some sort of drug so isnt like that pete guy, he is just very immature for his age and has a very very foul mouth, he swears more than me.

lol brings back memories from primary school. I had a mate with tourettes and we had so much laughs and we still joke about it today with him. He doesnt do it as much as what he used to but he was the best guy you would ever come across. Imagine a kid in grade 3 yelling out F*** while trying to paste paper with clag lol. He used to yell out sounds like mmmm, aeghhhhh and the best of all was zzzzzzzzzzzz but for some reason he would always do it at the worst times possible.

Now his fine, sometimes he might look left every now and again but most of his symptoms are gone. He never took medication but had extra tudor classes to keep up with everybody else. He played in my soccer team for 2 years with his condition and lived a pretty normal life. Overall his a pretty good person and were still mates to this day. Good on the UK big brother winner.

Amen to that. What a barker UK gretel is.

Just watched it again and couldn't help but laugh at the fact that the tourettes only seems to kick in every time the words big brother are used. This guy should be made famous and do talkback shows in the US. Dr Phil would be a riot. "Hi I'm Doctor Phil" - "****er"
