I can hardly find words to describe the horror of this. I've tried to put myself in this poor bloke's position, and the sheer awfulness of it is beyond me. I've had the occasional bad nightmare in the past, and it doesn't even come close to the nightmare this man has actually suffered. Thankfully, at last after 23 years his sentence is over.

I often used to fantasise about being in a waking coma, but 23 years is a bit too long.

when i was a teenager i used to wish that i was in a coma so that Bros would come and visit me in hospital, Matt would sing to me and i'd wake up and he would fall head over heels in love with me!!! :smt053

I have to agree with St Landrew. I'm surprised he didn't go mad tbh.

Yeah - again, you're confusing coma and nightmare...!

heard this on the radio last night..

 

Apparently the bloke said 'it's been frustrating'.

 

So that wins the understatement of the century award for me.

 

Or this;

 

Chief executive Peter Storrie admitted Hart had "worked under very difficult circumstances with the financial restrictions the club has faced since he took over."

The thought of it makes me feel almost claustrophobic. It reminds me of films in which a perfectly sane person is committed to a mental institution and the constant barrage of drugs renders them unable to prove their sanity. Not sure if that makes sense to anyone but me but it's the sort of helplessness it made me think of.
