With five minutes of mild Googling I found only a little mention of Alan Johnson and mental health issues. Mention of helping people get back to work.

Quick list of votes follow.

Both the above look very boring. Anyone know anything about him ?

    Here’s his Wikipedia entry:

    Apparently he used to be a Communist back in his younger days before becoming a Nude Labourite.

    I know it’s probably cruel and unfair but the first thing that springs to mind whenever I hear “Johnson” is the American euphamism for penis.

    I’ll avoid nominating the bleedin’ obvious “Dick Head” for a nick name and instead opt for the more subtle “Alan Penis”

    That’s subtle? *raises eyebrow*

    LOL your raised eyebrow is one of the funniest things I’ve read in ages!

    You’re right Mental, the above looked boring and I couldn’t be bothered to read it (I have an excuse now, I’ve just discovered I’m a clown), could you paraphrase it for me?

    Your Score: Crackpot - INTJ

    6% Extraversion, 66% Intuition, 60% Thinking, 66% Judging

    People hate you.

    Paris Hilton hates Nicole Richie. Lex Luther hates Superman. Garfield hates Mondays.
    But none these even rates against the insurmountable hate, people have for you.

    I mean, you’re pretty damn clever and you know it. You love to flaunt your potential. Heard the word “arrogant” lately? How about “jerk?” Or perhaps they only say that behind your back.

    That’s right. I know I can say this cause you’re not going to cry. You’re not exactly the most emotional person. You’d rather spend time with your theoretical questions and abstract theories than with other people.

    Ever been kissed? Ever even been on a date? Trust me, your inflated ego is a complete turnoff with the opposite sex and I am telling you, you’re not that great with relationships as it is. You’re never going to be a dude or chick magnet, purely because you’re more concerned with yourself than others. Meh. They all hate you already anyway.

    How about this- “stubborn?” Hrm? Heard that lately? All those facts which don’t fit your theories must just be wrong, right? I mean, really, the vast amounts of time you spend with your head in the clouds…you’re just plain strange.

    That seems to be about right. As far as I can tell Alan has voted on a couple of minor rewordings of bits of the mental health bill. Nothing terribly significant.

    Just noticed all the sixes in my personality score. Good grief ! Mental Nurse is the many headed beast of the Apocalypse.

    Run for the hills …

    Hang on, I’m confused. Is that personality supposed to be you, Alan, or OSB?

  9. Posted July 1, 2007 at 6:03 am | Permalink

    Apparently me.
