Okay, I can't be bothered as no answer is obviously going to come this side of 2007.”

Whilst finally catching up on 4 months worth of ironing this evening I was ironing my daughter nighty and realised it had cherrys on it
Hubby thought I had lost the plot when I suddenly had a fit of the giggles whilst watching the news

Persevere Rosemary
Make him take notice, it's important after all, as much as Micky's cherries are 
Wonder if there was a rise in the sale of cherries during BB7
Just seen we have reached 100 pages on this thread now

I think Wobbly Bob has announced on DF forums that Pete has been in touch and told him he is leaving the band...thats all I know so far..
I'm hope Pete or his managemnt make a statement soon..as I'd really like to hear his side of things....either way.I hope its all for the best, for him and DF

Your words are music to my ears. Can't tell you how many glazed looks I get - that's why it's so great to be here

*headdesk* I have been avoiding your posts because you seem to have a knack to make me lose my cool!
John D's documentary was made over fifteen or twenty years ago and he was paid to do PAs since then. That's what I was referring to. It's not a bad thing that he's making a career out of it. He deserves every penny whenever he gets a chance because, let's face it, there aren't many good employment prospects for him, no thanks to this society who are actually disabling the likes of him and others by not making reasonable adjustments, but that's another story. He's a natural entertainer as proven in a project he's done for Disability Arts Forum, so why not?
That applies to the likes of Mik Scarlet, Alison Lapper, Victoria Lucas, Ramon Woolfe, Mat Fraser, and every one who puts themselves in public spotlight, well knowing that they would be criticised from here to China.
Hm, maybe we should pass a memo around in national disability community:
Quote:
“ It's fine if you do a documentary to raise awareness, but do not think of doing a national TV competition because it would be so wrong. All your dreams of becoming rich and famous or whatever must die because, you know, you are disabled.
You can only have a career in community work or the voluntary sector, raising awareness and reminding everyone that you're a sufferer, struggling against discrimination, prejudices and all that crap. Go forth, my friends, and show them how we have suffered.”

Please. Anyway, I'd better stop as I'm not making sense now, but I have to admit that when people talk about personal gain, advantages and disabilities, I get pissed off a bit too easily. Unfair, but I'm that thin-skinned because I'm sick and tired of it, which is why I'm trying my best to avoid responding to posts like yours.
I'll buy you a drink when all's cool, though.

Morning all
mcvillain I see you have finally been pushed over the edge
I went through that angry phase about half way through BB...then I realised lifes too short ..some people are just never going to get it..
(btw..I'm not refering to you micra ..just making a general observation )
They dont mind disabled people in their place,...but boy they dont like them out of it..
Disabled people are meant to be meek and mild and grateful dont you know?...they arent meant to be have ambition or, heaven forbit, sex
Anyway, enough of that..Has everyone see these pictures from Getty images
Pete in Camden market again
I cant remember if they have been posted or not..sorry if they have..but at least its another excuse to look at them

This is an appreciation thread
Perhaps the wrong place to post if you want discussions/ arguments about Pete ...
hth
Hi all and what a lovely sunny morning it is especially now I've seen those happy pics of Pete - thanks Rosemary! And no adverse reports about Pete in the paper I've just read either. So hoping no news is good news.
