Dear EDF Agony Auntie


Every time I read a headline, EDF thread title, or anything else, the first thing that comes into my head is the title or lyrics of a related song, and I blurt it out. The same thing happens whenever somebody says something to me. About anything at all.


People don't take me seriously any more. What can I do?

Wouldn't it have been better to have placed the eventual plea of "What can I do" on a final, seperate line?


For empthasis,like.

Hello OP. It's possible that you could be suffering slight attention span disorders, these are quite common and often enduced by stress. My advice is to consult the problem directly, tackle it with the fist and the fury of the North Star, and then you'll find your focus slowly returning.

sources: my ass.

Nah, it's more like I see the words Assisted Suicide, and I immediately think of all songs about suicide, or indeed any toon by the band Suicide. Then I see the thread about clowns, and immediately Send In The Clowns goes through my head. Which I hate. And then someone mentions the word 'holiday' and...


You get my drift.


My most frequent response to anything is 'There's a song..."


Does this make me OC/dork/geek/Asperger's? Or is there a more appropriate moniker?

So what's our condition, JoJo?


Do the doctors have a name for it?

Will it entitle us to invalidity benefit?

Can we be cured?


Or will it just continue to worsen as the years pass, leading ultimately to an inability to utter any expressions that are not composed entirely of song lyrics?

It's not just song lyrics neither... *starts over-excitedly sharing too much*

Advert jingles, they're the worst. Have been known to sub-consciously sing them out loud when confronted by said product in the supermarket. It's either the power of advertising or one too many late nights in my youth.

I have the same habit, wouldn't call it a problem.

Some years ago I had a boss named Ray, any time I was in his vicinity I could not help but hum 'it's A Shame About Ray' by The Lemonheads or even actually singing it. He never caught on though.

'Gotta See Jane' by R Dean Taylor, 'Judy Says She's Gonna Knock You In The Head' by The Vibrators 'Hurry Up Harry' by Sham 69 and 'Pamela Pamela' by Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders make regular appearances on my mental jukebox through out the working day.

Helps me stay awake.

I've been told there's a threapist who can offer help.

I haven't got his contact details but his name is Dr Robert.

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then?
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
