Run away? you must be joking.:0)

I have a life to attend to and at this moment it is rather harrowing.
Sorry to inconvenience you of course.

The OED says "copy, representation, likeness", no mention of "burning on any fire"
I didn't read the whole article, so I cant support what may have been said later.....but the presentation was so biased as to be laughable.

A complete waste of time.

Their is a guy who lives in a town about twenty miles away, 6' 2" big beer belly, long hair, bushy beard, who thinks he is a woman. He haunts the charity shops buying women's dresses, underwear and shoes..... and terrifying the sales girls.
The poor soul has obvious psychiatric problems, but has been reinforced in his belief that he is really a woman by what is laughingly referred to as Psychiatric Services.

What purpose does this pantomime serve, other than to make the poor guy's life even more miserable and to further exclude him from normal society?
