Went to see Rush...

........ at the Newcastle Metro Arena on Friday night.

Wow, they may have started off in the early 70's but they sure do know how to rock!!

The place was jam packed and the atmosphere was fantastic. The show was long, load and the lighting was brilliant.

Long may these older rock groups continue; I'm off to see Alice Cooper, Motorhead and Joan Jett later in the year and will be going to The Police consert in Manchester next week.

I really want one of these!!

Sony are going to release a revolutionary tv, less than the thickness of a coin - here.

Looks fantastic!

Uuurrrggghhhhhhh!

Madonna - please don;t try to look fitter and younger, it just does not work!

Here.

New blog to read

Just been made aware of this blog.


It looks interesting so I'm off for a read of it.


It is about a 1500+ mile ride across half of the U.S. to raise money and awareness for MS research and treatment. Sean was diagnosed with MS in 2003, and figures if he is ever going to do something like this, sooner is better than later.

Any Vicair support cushions users in the UK??

I've just received an email from Graham Jeffery of Gerald Simmonds:


I am in the process of filming and producing an educational/training DVD for Vicair, featuring their range of pressure relieving and support cushions. I've already filmed an introduction by Bengt Engstorm, the Swedish seating expert, and with the Dutch inventor and manufacturer of the Smartcells which are the basis of the Vicair system.

I now need to talk to and film a range of about five users of Vicair cushions who can tell of their experiences using the cushions, especially where they have made a difference to their daily lives. I would visit them at their homes, or somewere else suitable, to film an interview, which shouldn't take more than a couple of hours in total. I hope it wouldn't be too unpleasant an experience, and they would be contributing to a useful and informative programme.

Could I ask you to publicise this to as wide an audience as possible through your various web outlets. Anyone interested can contact me by email on graham@xpositionltd.com (my separate production facility), by phone on 07905 430139 or by mail to Graham Jeffery, 53 Meadoway, Steeple Claydon, Bucks MK18 2PA.

So, if anyone can offer their time, I am sure he will be most grateful :-)

Funny cartoon!

This is funny funny funny!!


Thanks Shaymus.

Welcome to the UK - why not come here and get everything for free.

EU chiefs want to let in an extra 20 million immigrants from Africa and Asia

Why is this country such a soft touch?

Time to stand up for ourselves and leave the EU!!!

Story here.

No doubt I will be called a racist.

I'm not, I'm just sick of my taxes going to pay for people who have never worked here in their lives.

Nuts!

Just found this photo and it REALLY made me laugh :-)

Credit here for the photo.

I can't believe David Cameron would even considerf charging for parking at supermarkets!!......

.........unless he really wanted to loose the next election.

Am I being cynical, or are most politicians out of touch with the general public??? (said with rather a large does of sarcasm).

All I want is a government that doesn't waste my taxes (paying pregnant mothers £120 to buy veg springs to mind as bloody stupid), keeps control of illegal immigration (I don't mind hard workers, but not scroungers) and keeps me safe from scum (lock the buggers up)!

It's not much to ask!

Why don't Council's produce an accessible brouchure fot their area?

When I went to Wales I knew that the places I was visiting were accessible.

What I would like though, is to be able to contact a council or Tourist Information, and get them to send me a pack showing how accessible places are, list accessible walks generally show me where I can visit without getting pissed off when I find it is not wheelchair friendly.

Wouldn't you have thought in these days of the DDA that such literature would exist???

Just been on holiday to Wales

Had a great time!!

Lovely weather.

Nice people.

The bits I went were accessible :-)

Snowdon Railway was excellent.

Chester Zoo (went on the way there) was fantastic!

All in all, a lovely 4-day break.

Oh yes, I ate too much :-) - Who cares!

I'll write a bit more when I have a chance.

Right training shoe for sale.

Bought a new pair of trainers today.

The right hand one will never get used.

It will stay in it's box, feeling lonely.

So, if anyone has a size 9 right foot and would like a particularly nice Diadora training shoe, then please feel free to contact me :-)

I like tennis (for the boys)

If you're a red hot blooded mail, check this story out.

You can't blame the ballboy :-)

I hear today is the last day of Big Brother.

Thank God for that.

It's a pile of rubbish!!

Add a slide show to your blog!

Just found this site -

Looks pretty cool so I am going to have a good look at it and add it asap :-)

What is the world coming to?

Police appeal after thieves break-in to Shopmobility store in Newbury's Northbrook Street

POLICE are tracking-down thieves who stole a mobility scooter from a Newbury charity.The £2,000 fold-away scooter was taken from Shopmobility in Northbrook Street on Friday night.....


Would it be wrong of me to hope that these theiving scum one day have to rely on a wheelchair? Perhaps then they will appreciate what they ahve done.

Full story here.

Watching bears from a wheelchair

I hope it was a fast chair!!

Matti Anttalainen from Vantaa is sitting in his wheelchair deep in the pine forests of Northern Kainuu. He is staring out at six male brown bears, each weighing in at around 200 kilos. They slide into view in front of him from the forests, like ghostly apparitions.
The massive beasts are hanging out around twenty metres from Anttalainen's viewpoint, and in all probability they know he is around somewhere.......

Story here.

Bastard!!!

Teen robber threw victim out of wheelchair

For what it is worth, I would birch the culprit!

Fancy something completely different???

Check out this blog for weird bathrooms of the world. Here's an example -







Weird or what!!!


Here.

I'm assured this is a true story.

What small steps are taken to achieve freedom for us all.

This scene took place on a British Airways flight between Johannesburg, South Africa & London .

A white woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man.

Very disturbed by this, she called the air hostess. "You obviously do not see it then?" she asked. "You placed me next to a black man. I did not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat."

"Be calm please," the hostess replied.

"Almost all the places on this flight are taken. I will go to see if another place is available."

The hostess went away & then came back a few minutes later.

"Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats in Economy Class. I spoke to the captain & he informed me that there is also no seat in Business Class. All the same, we still have one place in First Class."

Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued.

"It is unusual for our company to permit someone from Economy Class to sit in First Class. However, given the circumstances, the Captain feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting."

She turned to the black guy & said, "Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in First Class."

At that moment, the other passengers, who'd been shocked by what they had just witnessed, stood up & applauded.

WELL DONE, British Airways
