Default Gary using "Discombobulation" in a sentence.IS that a sign of brain damage ?

Gary used the word "discombobulation" tonight in a sentence in a rather complicated point.

Using that word and the way he quickly linked points togteher and used a complicated argument certainly were not signs of brain damage.

Remember he's an actor. He's been conning most of you all along.

Sorry but where in any medical journals or papers does it suggest that the effects of brain damage include not being able to say discombobulation?

All brain injuries are unique and people have different symptoms.

One common effect of brain damage is not bothering to shower and needing reminding to do things like that. Yet the Gary slaters still slate him for not showering for a few days.

It's a sign that he is a well spoken person, not to mention intelligent which isn't a surprise.

You seem to have a habit of completely misinterpreting the point of things to twist them to your advantage to prove Gary is this terrible, nasty person, in this thread it's what symptoms of brain damage and injury actually is and how they can affect certain individuals in different ways.

I suppose we are going to get constant threads like this now since there isn't actually anything major that Gary has done wrong in the house that can be used to attempt to turn people against him.

He also still has a memory, he is not senile or suffering from dementia.
You don't have to have operations to your brain if you have no damage to it. Likewise you don't have to have dementia to have suffered brain damage either.

He will still have language skills, he can be and is very articulate. I see no reason to doubt at all he has genuine problems in the house due to his brain injuries from the past but it doesn't mean he should be unable to communicate.

This thread has to be the most ridiculous yet.

Gary hit his head on the pavement and was in a coma for 4 weeks. he has since had 2 brain operations.

But we can forget about that because he can say a word with 6 syllables.

I wonder when the Anti Gary posters will realise they backed the wrong horses.

If Gary said... "I have had brain surgery which makes me discombobulated."

Would the paradox end the Universe?

Why do you keep starting countless threads trying to discredit Gary? What's the point? We aren't stupid, weak arguments aren't going to sway us over what we see.

The anti-Gary threads are reaching new heights of ludicrousness.

Gary DOES have brain damage - we know from independent medical advice - he is assessed all the time because of the damage that was done to his head during his motorbike accident.

As to how much it's affecting him, it's difficult to definitely prove but again medical evidence has suggested it may be worse than first thought.

So I can't really understand what the purpose of this thread is.

The thread wreaks of desperation.

I just have an image of a neurosurgeon doing his rounds on the brain ward.

"So Mr Busey, you were admitted four weeks ago with head injuries. You have been in a coma ever since. Can you just say the word discombobulation?.......Excellent. You can discharge this patient, nurse."

So Gary's faking having had a life-threatening accident which resulted in severe brain trauma now is he ?

The desire of some people to bring others down to their level so they can feel better about themselves really is sad. Just look how stupid it's making James look!

Brain damage does not mean the guy is not sane or retarded fir goodness sake. Many people who suffer brain damage change dramatically and brains can and do 'rewire' look it up, so they can appear totally different than they were before character, personality wise but still have intellect and competent use of vocabulary..Gary is super bright, dies not mean he is a liar or a con man but even if he were the latter, so what, rest of them all co artists and venomous ones at thst.

Ah, you've played the "he's an actor so he must be having us on!" card. You've joined such illustrious soothsayers and astute character analysts as Sallie Axl and Helen Wood. Brava.

Head injuries are funny things.

You can be lucid and coherent one moment and out of it the next or any time parameter in between or beyond. You can be pleasant one moment and awkward and irritable the next.

I don't think he's playing anyone. I also think he's really enjoying himself and that he will actually miss the whole experience.

Brain damage/injury and being thick are not interchangeable terms.

Gary is a smart man with a big vocabulary, his main problem in the house is his lack of hearing. Being partially deaf doesn't make you dumb.

Seems to me we have people that will go to any lengths to try and discredit Gary, not dissimilar to how the other housemates are treating Gary in the house

Loved it when he threw the word discombobulate in. What a fupping star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Back to the head injury and deafness both can come and go and on the hearing side of things it depends where the noise is coming from, the pitch of the noise etc.

Head injuries and keeping your mental faculties are not mutually exclusive. It rather reminds me of the comment Audley made to Kellie re: He still had his rapier tongue and Kellie replied " Audley I have had a sex change not a head transplant"
