@Glow_Fragrance This is a wise and helpful list, but it's not therapy. I'm not sure it's helpful to present it as such.

@JonathanShedler The assertion that things (in this case sentences) have 'usual' meanings - as oppose to thinking about the particular meaning for the client.

@ScarredForLife2 Not half. That figure in the titles got mixed up with images of the god Pan in other stuff I was into and the whole thing became a sort of fearful roving entity that could crop up anywhere. I thought I saw him in our garden at one point.

With a lot of Robert Bolt on iPlayer (Man for All Seasons + Lawrence) I bought Adrian Turner's biography 'Scenes From Two Lives' - pleased to see this attribution of the famed match/desert cut which skews towards Lean/Young/Coates, as rooted in the writing

Love The Firm. I especially love the fact that one of the senior hooligans is called, "Oboe." 'Why' someone ends up named after a classical instrument is less the point than its authentic representation of the sheer weirdness of the nickname process.

Watch out for The Firm on BBC4 at 10.0. The late, great Alan Clark’s last film. A young Gary Oldman at his very best, Lesley Manville, a bit of me. The first of the football hooliganism films. Made in 1989 it’s a stunning piece of work.

'The Attention Casino' piece I wrote for @vice now liberated from their paywall. "The ‘zone’ in the casino where we find ourselves is not one of comfort. In fact, it runs on stress, anxiety, and a replica of togetherness experienced mostly while alone." vice.com/en/article/att…

@JonathanShedler TBF he's doing this is at something like the assesment stage - they're not really 'in therapy' so to speak, he's saying I can't/won't see you, here's why.
