November 01, 2004 Most depressed people ever... HENRY McDonald and Liam Clarke take a look at the growing trauma industry in post-conflict in Northern Ireland. Henry wonders if the psyhciatrist's couch has replaced the stiff upper lip, but seems to agree with Liam that what many victims need is simply to know the truth about what happened, in order to deal with it. But then shrinks are cheaper than legal inquiries and lawyers, so lie down and tell me, in single words, only the good thngs that come into your head about your mother. The people are fully entitled to feel depressed. Your throwing a party and your invite list comprises the following people, Michael (the undertaker) McGimpsey Mitchel (do I really look like Adolf) McLoughlin David (you couldn't cut me with knife) Trimble Bairbre (the only colour is in my coat) De Brun Dermot (i'll have a frontal labotomy) Nesbitt John (i'd rather have a bottle in front of me) Hume Gerry (shut to fuck up Ingram) Adams ********************************************* General De Chastelain is doing the catering The Andersonstown news are doing the travel arrangements The D.U.P are bringing the drink The entertainment is Frank Carson And the babysitting is being done by the local priest
