Hi.
I've just watched a really interesting program on BBC 2 about Chris Packham.
I never liked watching this guy on tv.
I always found him to be arrogant and somewhat strange and irritating ,but after watching a program about him tonight and his battle with Asperger's I now see him in a totally different light. I didn't know this guy had suffered with this ,up until watching tv tonight and found his story amazing and moving to listen to. All things that I disliked about him , he actually talked about ,and the problems he's tried to over come over the years. I think its hard to understand what it must be like to have Asperger's if you don't have it yourself ,but Chris really did a good job in this program in putting it across.
If you get chance its well worth a watch.

One of the Grand-daughters has Aspergers/Autism, it can be difficult for her sometimes around people.

I kind of feel bad for being so judgemental towards him after watching that program. A lesson learned today I think .

You just need to remember that anybody you see on telly is only projecting part of their personality out of the screen. So it's ok to think that so-and-so is a bit of a twat, as long as you realise that it's not the real so-and-so, just a TV version of them.

Same with us lot and our silly user names and such. We're all just avatars.

The nice thing about tv is there's an off button or you can change the channel.
Chris is fine Bill Oddy pi55es me off to turn off.

I cant stand Nagga On bbc news , i could watch a whole days tv about her and nothing would change.
