A barber who tugs off all those who do not tug themselves off but only those who do not tug themselves off. Who wanks the barber?!

Sherlock Holmes is all about dark secrets from the colonies, a subject that comes up in near every story.

Guavanaut posted:That was the standard until you appealed over a decade ago, so lovely but not at all surprising. aye, this I was awarded zero points on an assessment despite previous scores, letters from doctors, a well worded application and a medical history thicker than my thumb CW the same assessor also asked more than once why I hadn't killed myself yet, had me recall then relate in detail the means/actions of a previous attempt as well as repeatedly and intrusively asking about childhood sexual abuse and my own sexual orientation/identity at length I have recorded every single once since, without permission, and frankly I'm dreading the next one as it always, always causes a deterioration in my MH even when they go fine

All totally legit and my boss knew it, it was just an automatic trigger. During the interview the "nurse" directly threatened me with the loss of my job, telling me that she could report back and make it happen. They're utter vermin.

I had my first ATOS assessment in 2006. I actually thought that the assessment centre was part of the NHS, as I was in a long waiting list to see a neurologist. I really thought that the man in the white coat was a doctor, and that he would be one of the first specialists to take a look at me and say "Yes, something is wrong. You are ill.". He told me to stand up, which I did. He snatched my walking stick from my hand and told me to walk to the other side of the room, which I did, and he laughed and said "You don't need this.", chucking my walking stick to the floor. I don't remember much more of the assessment, but a month or two later the DWP wrote to me to deny me benefits. I appealed, but they rejected due to lack of medical evidence (I was still waiting for the neurology appointment and diagnosis), and I was forced to take it to tribunal. I ended up losing my apartment, and started bouncing between homes, being forced to move every few months. Were it not for friends and charities, I probably wouldn't be writing this post now. I was unable to work, often unable to physically get to appointments, and I ultimately became homeless. My initial emergency housing application to the council was rejected due to ATOS declaring me as being not disabled. Through friends and luck, I appealed that decision and was placed in a homeless hostel until by DWP tribunal date, with the knowledge that if I lost my tribunal, I would be given 24 hours notice to leave the homeless hostel. I won the tribunal after making the woman panel member cry when recounting my story. It was also probably due to finally having an official diagnosis of ME/CFS after having seen a neurologist. Within two weeks I was allocated a ground floor council flat, and I've been 'existing' ever since. New Labour created this dystopian system. Never forget that fact.

Not sure how it matches the books as I haven't read those in a decade, it was 'The Naval Treaty'.

I checked dailymotion and this episode is also not on there. I have all the Jeremy Bretts. I think we've discussed it here before - he put a huge amount of energy into being the Sherlock Holmes of the books. He was pretty ill at the end hence why he looks all puffy in the last series. Worth a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Brett
