To ask what's this 'biscuit' all about?

[CrohnicallyHungry]

Watching channel 4 and the announcer biscuit keeps randomly biscuit saying 'biscuit' in the middle of her biscuit sentences.

Can anyone biscuit enlighten me?

[phantomnamechanger]

[Ruushii]

She has Tourette's.

[Ruushii]

Feel free to feel a twat for mocking her.

[theonewiththevoodoo]

i though that it was so that you actually listen to what she says.....

however what happened is that it fucked me off so much i turned over!

[GoodEggy]

I thought perhaps McVities had planted a little gremlin in my TV to make me want more biscuits.

[theonewiththevoodoo]

if she had tourettes then she wouldnt be saying buscuit

[NurseyWursey]

Why is she an announcer if she has torrettes. Seems a bit counter productive.

[MeYeahMe]

Oh dear. I did wonder if this wouldn't go down well simply because people aren't aware of Jess Thom.

She's great - I would link to her website, but it's crashed

[Ruushii]

Of course not, Dr.

Except she has and she does.

[KnittingRocks]

Why would she not be saying biscuit theone?

[MeYeahMe]

Here theonewiththevoodoo and Nursey have a

[ashtrayheart]

What should she be saying then theone

[YoureBeingASillyBilly]

"if she had tourettes then she wouldnt be saying buscuit"

She didnt. She said biscuit.

Regardless- how would you know how her tourettes affects her?

[SilverShins]

She does have Tourette's. I heard her last year on Radio 4's Today Programme.

[theonewiththevoodoo]

I stand corrected...and happy to be wrong. good for her.

However.... I dont change my opionin on how annoying it is.

[NurseyWursey]

Thanks meyeah I just fancied one of those.


Nothing wrong with what I've said. I've not seen it. I'm just going off the 'she's an announcer with Tourette's'. Since an announcer er... announces things shouldn't it be someone who is able to say the sentence without their tics interfering? Or am I wrong in saying this

[KnittingRocks]

I'm sure we all have annoying tics, just some more obvious than others.

[SilverShins]

Really Nursey?

[NurseyWursey]

Yes really.

[theonewiththevoodoo]

well, it caused me to turn over.... and i cannot be the only one who didnt know

now i do know... i wish her well, but i dont want to listen to her. sorry [shrug]

[theonewiththevoodoo]

good for her, im glad that there is more disability awareness....

but the point is... i wasnt aware... neither will the kids who watch, and repeat it ad nauseum in they playground...

not sure exactly how this furthers disabilty awareness....
