ACT: Re: The Office star=?windows-1252?Q?=92s?= battle with ME (Western Mail, 28 January 2012)

I'm writing a letter in response to this article (The Office star=92s
battle with ME, Western Mail, 28 January 2012 --
http://www.walesonline.co.uk/showbiz-and-lifestyle/showbiz/2012/01/28/the=
-office-star-s-battle-with-me-91466-30206478/

), as I hope others will do.

One point that I will mention is the sympathy and understanding that
Trudy (played by Rachel Issac) might have received if she had phoned in
sick and her "Office" manager, David Brent, was as equally ill informed
as the actor who plays him, Ricky Gervais.

I had reason (connected with the recent Rod Liddle and James Delingpole
tirades) to dig out a particular video that Ricky Gervais made on You
Tube, a clip from which precedes these two (below), also on You Tube,
which you may like to see (Caution: Some may be upset or offended). But
does anyone have a link to the whole of this You Tube video, with Ricky
Gervais on his own. I thought I had it somewhere, or maybe it has been
deleted?

CFS/M.E - The Torturous Disease (You Tube, 24 August 2009)

And

Comedian Ricky Gervais on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic
Encephalomyelitis

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Dg8avzoG5NWI&feature=3Dplayer_embedded#!

Also features some clowns who believe M.E. is real!!

Did you notice how Rachel says she got better?

Back to the letter, I'd appreciate the original You Tube link if anyone
has it.

Best wishes
