Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder in which the individual is described as being excessively preoccupied with issues of personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity. This condition affects one per cent of the population.
Persons diagnosed with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder are characterized by unwarranted feelings of self-importance. They have a sense of entitlement and demonstrate grandiosity in their beliefs and behaviour. They have a strong need for admiration, but lack of feelings of empathy. These qualities are usually defences against a deep feeling of inferiority and of being unloved.

Hey Patsy,
I don't know much about Spags, but I have been ticking off a few boxes after Fitzy's recent outbursts. The upside: that puts 98% of us in the clear.
