You better believe it. Tuesday's episode had one of its characters being
labelled as a "lunatic" with "something wrong with them". I changed channels
rapidly at this point, but in retrospect perhaps I should have carried on
watching and taped the program.
A few days ago I bought a video recorder (about time too) for evidence
gathering purposes. But strangely the TV news (both BBC and ITN) haven't
uttered a sound over the last few days. Almost as if they know they're being
taped...

And?
There are many characters in TV programmes who _are_ lunatics with
'something wrong with them'. Why do you think this alludes to you?
In the eponymous book, Cervantes' Don Quixote is described as 'crazy'
'mad' and 'lunatic'. Do you think this is a reference to yourself,
albeit written by a time-travelling 17th century Spaniard?
If you accept that the character of Don Quixote can be described thus
without it being a reference to you, what problem do you have with
Peak Practice? Or do you enjoy tilting at your own little windmills?
A friend's lodger has turned out to be paranoid schizophrenic. Her
obsessions are strikingly similar to yours, she is convinced that she
is being bugged, and that students at her college are making fun of
her for being foreign. She has been looking for the services of a
private detective. Maybe Oxford has this unfortunate effect on foreigners?
I must say that I'm surviving rather well, or that's what the man
under the stairs told me yesterday.

So Mike, you are a woman, married to a doctor,have two children, speak
spanish, and living in the Peak District. Is that a fair description of
you?

I didn't miss it. I see no reason that such statuate would ever be written
since the days of the blue laws, so I see your statement as unsubstantiated
and most likely untrue. Sorry for the flame.

I have been on USENET for long enough to know that unsubstantiated facts are
about as good as if they were never uttered or written. Again, sorry for the
flame.

We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the
machinations of the wicked.

Well, a quick Google search finds quite a few examples of state laws
that are exactly as he describes ... NJ's was noted as giving extreme
punishment down to individual milk crates. CA was another state
mentioned, and I expect all the "dairy" states have those laws.
The "chop them up and ship them to China as recycled plastic" examples
seemed to be the driving point for CA's law.
It must be great to have a lobby with real power...
