    Sounds like one of those new 'Escape Room' challenges - do they do kids parties too?

    Is there any chance these 15 clowns might be kidnapped themselves.

    It's good they told you. Just avoid all black people and white people and your kids will be grand .

    I've every sympathy for those with literacy issues, but jaysus, you'd think one would make an effort to get the spelling of one's chosen profession right!

    That's a shocking level of literacy for someone who claims to be a psychotherapist.

    Although most psychotherapists have a degree is psychology as a minimum, there are no statutory regulations for the profession as far as I'm aware.

    I would love to know the full story behind this.
    I'd say it's some mickey mouse cert.

    There are some total lunatic "therapists" out there.

    It's one of those online courses, no exams, all written assignments that her adult daughter did most of the work for her.

    She's already been working doing one-to-one counselling in an addiction treatment centre, and is now setting up as a counsellor and psychotherapist. It's a very unregulated profession in Ireland, as far as I can see.

    It is sadly. I could call myself a therapist tomorrow, and take thousands a week from vulnerable people.

    It's not the taking of money from people that would have me concerned, I'd be more concerned with an unqualified person giving dodgy advice to vulnerable people.

    The Peep Show episode where Jeremy became a Life Coach off a weekend course nailed this issue.



    Dodgy health and diet "therapists" are another great growth area for chancers with all the wellness and clean eating nonsense doing the rounds.

    Agree completely. A friend of mine is a dietician. She had a hard slog through college to qualify and now works with diabetic patients.
    It drives her absolutely crazy the amount of people who set themselves up as 'nutritionists'. Unfortunately anyone can claim to be a nutritionist. I could start calling myself one in the morning. Dietician is the protected term and lots of people think they're the same thing.

    And on that point, I love this Dara O Bhrian sketch

    By no means the worst, but still excuses for people who lives off attention. Why make a big deal about deleting your account?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,181 ✭✭✭Lady Haywire


    ^^I'm a twitter user, not FB, but there's an ex of mine who closes his account every so often (think he's on the 5th one now) and without fail he'll tweet about leaving it every time before he closes the account. Someone told him the last time to just bugger off and stop looking for attention & he went off on a rant and blocked him. Twat. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,754 ✭✭✭Deebles McBeebles


    From what I understand, deleting your account is the equivalent of storming out of the room and slamming the door.

    From that "Anyone Know" page on Facebook:


    "AK...strange one I know! any animal experts out there?
    Anyway long story short we got a pet parrot recently. We had wanted a dog but I HATE the noise a dog makes! So we compromised on a parrot. Well, some smart alec has taught the parrot to bark, and it's driving me mad! Does AK how I can make him "un-learn"? TIA"

    Some people shouldn't be allowed to have pets. Didn't like the noise a dog makes so decides to go for a much noisier animal.

    I think it's quite clearly a piss-take aimed at the total crackpots that populate that particular page

    Ah fair enough, had never heard of the page before as I'm not on FB.

    It could be 100% real. I burst out laughing when I read that post as I have been in that situation! I have two parrots and one of them learned to bark like my dogs lol. She also learned the noise of my alarm and I actually wanted to pluck her, stuff her and shove her in the oven :eek: Seriously though, she loved making that sound and had me driven demented. Do do do do do, do do do. Over and over. I would happily have paid a parrot whisperer any amount of money to come and unteach her that noise. I changed phones and after a while of not being exposed to the alarm noise, she eventually forgot about it.
