I say ‘the End’ in the title, as this will obviously be my last post in this series before the big day tomorrow when we head to the polls; however, in the interests of equity, I will at some point look at what the main parties in the Republic of Ireland have to say on [...]
Northern Ireland politics is, in the main, a load of divisive nonsense (in my view, anyhow). It infuriates me that I cannot vote for either the Westminster nor the Dáil parties; we have to have our own little set of philistines, and they are built – by and large – upon sectarian, bigoted lines. You [...]
I haven’t written an AotW for some weeks, mainly as I’ve been too mental to actually read anything that I think is worthy of inclusion here. I’m not particularly less mental at the minute, as Monday’s post will presumably attest; however, coverage of the matter that I intend to discuss is hard to miss at [...]
I’ve made a few references to the relative anonymity of this blog in recent posts (here and here) and decided I would explore it more.

Hopefully I will not have any more two-posts-in-one-day-marathons for a while. — Dear Admin Woman Who Wrote to Me the Other Week Re: [...]
The week before Christmas, I had to see a GP that I don’t normally attend, owing to the fact that LGP is so popular that I couldn’t get an appointment with him. The appointment was mainly to confirm the diagnosis of IBS, given as I had a number of blood tests to rule out other [...]
Dear Sir or Madam Re: Advocacy in Accessing Mental Health Services I am writing to enquire as to my rights and to what extent you can assist me in accessing the services to which I am entitled. I am diagnosed with borderline personality disorder with psychotic features with a possible co-morbidity of bipolar disorder, type [...]
This uncertainty with C is doing my head in. I spent this afternoon looking online and through Yellow Pages for private clinical psychologists in my area and found the sum total of two such half-decent practitioners, one of whom I’ve already seen (!).
