Admittance to Victorian Asylum

[Keawyeds]

I take it the list's American anarl, given a couple of the spellings?

Which leads me to believe that it's potentially bullshit...
Unless it was actually in America rather than the UK during Vic's reign

But once in it might be hard to get out again. Moreso for a woman than a man.

I've nowt to base it on and never really given it a lot of thought, but I'd always assumed that nobody committed in those days was getting out again.

 

[ReidysLeftLug]

I'd always heard of it as a disease of a fishes swim bladder.

It could just be a form of bloating in humans?

Also "Masturbation & Syphilis"

@tunstall birdman - seduction & disappointment.

There'd be nee fucker left

 

[Cockney Mackem]

Masturbation for 30 years - so they treated repetitive strain injuries as well as mental disorders

Some crackers on there like - what the fuck does "seduction and disappointment" mean?

Also "Bad Company" - if they're classifying liking 70s blues rock as a mental disorder, Mini-x2 must have been the psychiatrist in charge.

Which leads me to believe that it's potentially bullshit...
Unless it was actually in America rather than the UK during Vic's reign

West Virginia apparently but contemporary to Sticky Vicky's time on the throne

 

[Her Ivory Tower]

Imaginary female trouble for me. They foreshadowed.

 

[super-niall]

I hadn't realised that being a female was a disease, that explains a few things.

 

[The Hunt]

How many do you qualify for? I reckon a couple on here will have the full house.

Logon or register to see this image

Fighting Fire is the best one, is that for being a fireman, which seems a bit harsh to admit someone for, or is it that you tried to punch a fire for looking at your bird?

Also "Women Trouble" is listed, I assume that is when you admit yourself voluntarily.

 

[super-niall]

These days it would include such things as 'horse bothering'.

 

[Safc2014]

How does someone masterbate for 30 year? I that like one massive tugathon or something?

 

[Roger Senseless]

what the fuck is "dropsy" ?

Seamus McDonagh had it.

 

[hefty em]

inflatable female trouble

 

[TwasOnTheFifthOfMay]

They weren't keen on masturbation were they?

Masturbation or suppressed masturbation. Doesn't that include everybody.

Greediness and egotism Think we all know somebody who fits that bill.

 

[barbieshellsaysFTM]

Seamus McDonagh had it.

 

[Cockney Mackem]

It really keeps on giving - "Salvation Army?"

 

[The Raven]

Time of life is a bit vague.

 

[Lukas73]

Didn't Oasis sing 'tobacco and masturbation'?

 

[The Exile]

Somehow this got mixed up with the 'acceptable traits for admission' to the RAF.

 

[joemcdokes]

Masturbation for 30 years.

 

[KarenDent]

Novel Reading ???????

 

[joemcdokes]

Wonder if they just put the nymphos with the wankers.
