This week been invited to an Indian wedding (Hindu)
in Fiji. I was told it would be quite a big affair.
Of course this is all just fine and dandy except for the thought “me got to Fiji”. Oh my goodness I only went to Europe for a short holiday once in 1980. Also I cannot possibly afford it. I am sure they won’t miss me if it is going to be a big one. Maybe I will just send them a card. Hope I can afford the postage.

Anas – Thank you very much, but I expect to be sitting here for some time, before I go in to hospital for 6 to 8 weeks.

They don’t know if they’re wi-fied so I don’t know if I can take my laptop, but apparently you can rent some sort of tv cum internet access thing, so I’m thinking of doing a special ‘hospital’ blog, something along the lines of ‘From a LiberalFascist’s Sick Bed’ or something like that. Suggestions welcome.

Soru – Packing heat right now

If it comes to some kind of big war between all the minorites, sadly I suspect the disabled are going to be picked to join sides last.

Unless they have machine guns hidden in their wheelchairs, of course.

“On one side stand all the bigots who hate, despise and look down on others based on their race, religion, caste, sexuality and nationality. And there are others who choose to reject that hatred. Whose side do you want to be on?”

race,religion,caste,sexuality, so where is disability? I can tell you, people with disabilities get all of the abuse and hate you quote and more, Always the last to get mentioned.

Thank you William. I am waiting to go into hospital which hopefully will improve my mobility considerably. Unfortunately, there is only one consultant in the whole of England (I don’t know about Scotland and Wales) who deals with my not uncommon condition. Therefore, nobody has any idea when my treatment will start.

Is this what is meant by being detained at Her Majesty’s Pleasure?

For Chairwoman

I seem to remember reading somewhere that you are in a wheelchair at the moment and you have something wrong with your arm. Well if needed here is a hug and get well soon!

Love love love the St Mungo Museum! Have seen wonderful exhibits there.

Am loving the sunshine as well, although it has been distracting me from actual work all weekend and all I can think of is BBQ. We have a big yard that is suddenly sprouting colourful tulips (despite there being no gardeners in the house) and it is begging from grilled meats and fish and veg. And coleslaw and Carribean beer.

The downside to the sunny weather is that it has immediately brought out an army of leering catcalling dudes (they seem to appear with the mosquitoes like clockwork!) but I will focus on the promise of bbq instead.

Jailhouselawyer,

And I’d never thought of Hull as an awayaday before. I’m away to sort out my passport. Leggy birds? Well, I’m a twitcher…..

Anas, You don’t look like Inayat Bunglawala. Nice jersey you had on in your last photo. If your having a skins party, I’m having it.

To my ears, the history of the Caribbeans in Britain generally or Glasgow in particular could never sound dull and worthy. Granted, it may not get the Mel Gibson treatment but it’s pretty interesting anyway.

I did hear that Anas was planning to hold a Skins party whilst his parents were out of town…
