Charles and Camilla

Ellan stop digging yourself a hole by trying to justify your comments, they were offence and out of order. Just accept it.

You can't type such an inflammatory, insensitive post and not expect people to get annoyed EllanVannin and that most certainly isn't bullying, as you are now hiding your comments behind. Thank God those hellish days you describe in your day are no more. We treat the poor souls with more compassion now

Were you really a nurse EV?

I don't think most people suffering from schizoaffective disorder need an injection to stop them killing people.

I worked in a large psychiatric hospital in the early 60s, things were certainly different then. I would like to think we treated our patients with care and compassion. Fortunately paraldehyde was being phased out by then. Patients did exhibit more florid symptoms then as the anti psychotic medication we have now was only just on the market. Thankfully now with the majority of people attitudes to mental illness have changed for the better.

I was a nurse Lily65 on a ward with very violent women until I went back to general nursing.
Paraldehyde injections were given when a patient was " out of hand and running amok". It was the only way of calming them down.
Schizophrenics today are given monthly injections in case they miss oral doses--------and they have been known to kill/murder.

Chances of being killed by a person suffering from schizophrenia are on in 14 million.

I hated the place. No cutlery/crockery was allowed and I carried a bunch of keys only seen by a prison warden, as every door and " cell " had to be locked after you.
My argument at the time was that depressives were mixed with women who were dangerous.

EllanVannin Stop thinking and posting as an individual.
Wear a woollen blend sackcloth, practice bleating and post in correlation with the pack.
I think “ bullying “ is a bit over the top.
For a start, you would have to take the posts seriously to suffer that emotion.

It's not me who's taking the posts seriously HOTMT.
I'm surprised by the many who are ready to pounce------or am I ?

Hi Jalima, there were one or two people who mentioned a Princess Mary during this thread. I just remembered exactly as you pointed out, an Australian princess marrying a European Crown Prince. No offence

EllanVann, what do you call people in a wheelchair?

Do you not want to admit your description of a sufferer of
Schizophrenia was cruel or is it your everyday description of mental health sufferers ?

Blinko
That's OK
It was me who mentioned her in the first place - just to [confuse] everyone of course!

I do know that if ever I am in Australia there are often outrageous stories about our RF doing the rounds and people have asked me 'is it true that .......?' - as if I'm on chatting terms with them.

Anniebach You can always Google the term if you are having difficulties.
what do you call people in a wheelchair

I have forgotten what the post was about, we seem to have moved on to something else.

Barmeyoldbat Me too if like myself you need reminding what day it is

I think that Cami and Chas are good for each other. A much better match than Diana who was inveigled into marriage with him.
Charles was told by Prince Philip to 'Get on with it' as he was knocking on, age wise.
C&C seem a contented couple and she has her own time with her AC and GC at Ray Mill House, the home she retained after her divorce from Andrew Parker-Bowles.
Camilla is known to spend much of her time there and, when official appointments are planned, will meet Charles at a given point and they continue to the venue together.
On overseas trips, she will often fly out a few days earlier to 'acclimatise'.
They are the reasons as to why she isn't with him day in day out.

Sounds like a perfect arrangement to me. We have a mobile home in the garden. I've often felt like moving in there when DH gets under my feet.

Not quite Ray Mill House though.

merlotgran

A bit like a man cave eh?
We all need a bit of space now and again...or is that going to offend those who are joined at the hip?

They were very much together at Charles's birthday party last month. Lovely couple. Great sense of humour.

With five grandchildren of her own I think the bolt hole is a good idea , it is a family home for her children

We all need a bit of space now and again...or is that going to offend those who are joined at the hip?
Definitely won't offend me
thank goodness DH has his garage/workshop.

Schizophrenia is a very frightening and distressing condition for both the sufferer and the people close to him/her.

I believe the vast majority of murders are committed by people who, at least as far as appearances are concerned, come across as "normal". Schizophrenics are far more likely to hurt or kill themselves than anybody else and to characterise them as homicidal maniacs is very cruel.

Eloethan As this Thread is about Charles and Camilla, are you trying to tell us something?

My thoughts are that we should stop referring to King George lll as the mad king and re-title the film and play. It's a known fact that he suffered from schizophrenia which, in the 1700s, was not a diagnosis.
In any case madness, or rather, the word 'mad' is commonly used to describe a condition where the brain does not function in the usual manner as far a rationality goes, and irrationality is madness.
To object to a word in common use in favour of one which sounds more acceptable (but has the same meaning) is, to my mind, mad.
Like saying 'passed' instead of 'died'. One cloaking the reality, the other laying bare the bones. This is simply my view.

Eloethan is trying to tell us it is completely absurd to suggest the people suffering from schizophrenia are likely to commit murder.
Thankfully few people refer to those who have mental health issues as mad.
