Merry Christmas

I didn't get back to say what ruined my day last blog, all I will say DWP and the ignorance of one of their Staff. So in brief:

  • Am I still disabled or has my incurable condition gone away?
  • What job can I do (even though I injure myself reading)?
  • Do I use a wheelchair because their are two people in her office in wheelchairs?
You can't begin to imagine how offensive that is.  Then to be told that they would call me back on a regular basis to see if I had got better and could now work.  My condition means that I can only get worse and it is a full time job just managing it to keep my injuries down.  The absolute worse thing ever is I love work and like physical activity; indeed I used to use do some thing physical to relieve stress (not that, it's causes injury so I can only do it before I go to the physio).  Anyway I have no way of relieving stress now that's why I blog: even though it hurts my hands and neck I use it to reduce stress.

There I hope that covers that !

Anyway even though y pain levels are super high I wanted to pass something nice on. If you have Kids check out this Website it is free and will give you a family memory that will stay with you for life.  It is the PNP (Santa's Portable North Pole). 
Get 3 photos of said child ready to upload (some at special events of past year, Birthday, etc), ten follow the instructions and your child will receive a video message from Santa.  My daughters face as she nodded at everything Santa said and when he said she knew she wanted a Hamster even though we had told her she couldn't have one (obviously we were getting her one, I don't want you thinking that this was a militant Santa); her face when Santa said that will carry me through my next few months of pain and remind me why no matter what my condition bring I have reasons to live.  Anyway you can do these for naughty or nice and for all ages so the adults don't have to miss out.

A Good Mood Spoilt

Now I may sound like I a grumpy old fart (which of course I am) but I do have happy days.  On December 1st was such a day if not a whole week.  My wife and children had decided they wanted the Christmas tree up and although the l had to leave all the lifting for my Son still had a role to play in putting the tree together and sorting lights.  Now before you decided to worship  me I did not create a tree it is the same artificial tree we have used for 14 years.

Sorry I digress.

Even though I only took a small part in this activity I was left in bed for 2 days in a lot of pain I didn't mind.  I didn't mind because even though it was a small amount of activity for such a lot of pain I had something to show for it: unlike when I injure myself putting my socks on and only have a pair of socks need to get someone else to remove.  I was very happy and content that I would be soon celebrating Christmas with my family around me and no amount of pain can spoil that.

So What Did? I will complete this post in a day or so when my body allows or sooner if anyone leaves a comment asking me to. that won't happen as I think there is only me reading it and I won't leave comments for myself that would be sad!

Quick Power Blog

I pay my fuel bills to one company as I have a duel fuel account.  Last year after a bad winter they tried to increase my payment by £10 a month.  I of course pointed out that you can not measure my usage on a freak winter and insisted they return the payments to the original amount.  They did this and apologised.  Last week I received a letter telling my I had over paid my account and so they were sending me £80 back and they were going to increase my payments by £10.  I pointed out that if they were sending me money back I was already over paying so there is no requirement to increase my payments. 

I think I have located the problem we have confused intelligence with education.  You see in our country we give jobs to people with a degree or if they attended an elite school.  Now in the old days people had to achieve a degree but now you can get them for turning up once in a while.  There are still intelligent people who have worked hard to get a degree and these people under the old system who have been easy to spot so you could get the right people.  These days every body has a degree and think that makes them intelligent and those people are now in places of power so they perpetuate the myth.  If our country is ever to get out of the mess it is in we first must admit we have let some real morons in positions that they are a liability.

To correct this mess remember posh people are more often than not "THICK".  A degree does not show intelligence anymore.  And it is possible that someone that has no formal education is capable of intelligence and more often than not you will be amazed that they may even be a genius amongst them.

Employer get us out of the shit we're in.  Take experience over education, if you must employ candidates with degrees make sure that it is relevant to your business not having a degree should be enough.  If you get a posh person turning up for a job find out what the relationship of their Mother and Father were before they married: in breeding is a good indicator of stupidity!

What do I know about this?

I improved every job I had and save more money because I used common sense.  I watched a man who get a job managing a line in a pet food factory because he had a degree in "Marine Biology".  That good if he had experience in manufacturing.  He had non but he did have the ability to talk to dolphins.  Funny though there was a guy would had worked on this line for 20 years and had in that time put several efficiency and money saving improvements.  He put in for the job and was turned down because it was the companies policy only to put graduates in management positions.  That company is down sizing it's operation.  Would it be down sizing with some people with intelligence in the management positions.

So what has this to do with my bill.  I worked for an energy company that believed in promoting from the shop floor and was the top of all the league tables.  That company was taken over by a national company which was bottom of the league table and used graduates to fill management positions.  Now which model do you think they chose to work to?  Yes the self destructive education before experience.  Now all my former work mates have the knowledge that they are bottom of all league tables. 

I get my power from them because my pension is tied to them!

Our country is screwed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Quick News Item!

Osbourne tows the new party line "Hiel Cameron!"


I didn't even change anything on this one.  At least Hitlers mob were honest about their goals right from the start.  It's a pity that all our politicians are incapable of that same honesty.

It's Not All Bad

Winter is all but here and the Goose is getting fat and by the Goose I mean me!  My dilemma is this, my Hyper- Mobility Syndrome(HMS) requires that I stretch and exercise to reduce the effects of the HMS.  Physical exercise or work even gentle movement can cause injury because of my HMS.  I can injure myself reading a book.  I will injure myself writing this and yet I still do.  Now before I became disabled I was very fit and very active.  I already know is I do nothing and do gentle stretches I can reduce my pain and prevent injury.  If I take that approach I will go mad, as no one can live like that and the quality of that life would be depressing.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

The answer is quite simple; you exercise in a way that the positives out weigh the negatives.  Light House Work!  Yes it will cause injury and yes your pain levels will be increased.

SO WHY DO IT?

The answer is very easy.  Exercise is required to keep me Hyper-Mobile which is important to combat the damage already done by this condition.  I do house work as it gives me exercise and yes it causes my pain levels to go through the roof (especially in Winter) but as I lay down to take control of my pain I can see something that I have done.  I got this tip from talking to other people with disabilities.

Now it takes me all day and sometimes the next just to do one room: but that is one less room for my wife to do and so I still feel as though I am contributing to the family unit.

House work will help you fight depression and stress of dealing with the Morons that run the DWP.  In the old days I would go for a run if I was stress or swim, play golf, go to Karate or even go for a bike ride or just  walk.  I miss walking!  When I feel down I get down on my hands and knees (you can't fall off the floor), and clean the living room rug.  Now don't get me wrong house work is not easy, I can't work a mop but you find light weight tools that help.  If you want to impress your wife or carer try cleaning the oven, you don't have to do it all in one day but it is the best stress buster because of the reaction of the a fore mentioned.

Tools you might like;

light weight Vacuum,  Steam mop or hand Steamer,  Floor Duster (if you have wood or laminate)

These tools can be used in a wheelchair, I know because I have done it.



Time for the NEWS.

Iain Duncan Smith find out first hand the effect of Welfare Reforms.


At least he can't say that people aren't willing to debate!

Osbourne illustrates state of the Economy!



Even he would deny we're in the shit, although this the only time you'll see him in it and if you look closely you see it's not his body: as usual they take advantage.

Ed Balls takes his new Shadow Ministry too Seriously!


Oh look ROBCOCK!

Sports news;

Lord Coe demonstrate new sport disability inclusive!



It could be in 2012 Olympics: after all the money used on that instead of the people that need it.

And Finally; Boris launches his re-election campaign!


See it's not all bad, a least we have all our best Morons running the country giving use something to laugh at.

I have noticed that all my pictures seem to be political and I did think I might branch out to the Media but I can't lower myself to watch "I'm a Celebrity".  I do think Trading Standards should be involved as I have never heard of any of the people they claim are famous.  Although I did see the "Shit Jugglers" faint; it was amazingly bad.  She obviously studied at the Dean Gaffney school of acting after all that was the most wooden think in the forest.

Can't do anymore body is rebelling and I will pay for this.  Please leave comments and/or pass this site on to other people.  If you would like to suggest ideas for news  or even pictures and I will try make them.

Death of Ethics

Recently I have been forced to remove various headless pictures of the PM from my blog because my family thought them to be extreme.  I won't apologise for my sense of humour and who I direct it at.  I do like making pictures I find funny but if these are extreme it as a result of the British Governments persecution of people with disabilities well so be it.  I keep telling people that Disability is now treated like a crime (only criminals have more rights) although my MP tells me I am wrong: well he should know more than me after all he has a big fat pay packet a cushy number with staff I'm sure that fact I am on the receiving end of the countries care means FA.  The government do use weapons against people with disabilities, they're called bureaucrats (or more accurately bureaucraps).  These people are allowed to persecute us and tell us how we show live our lives.  They are treated as experts even though most of them are not and never have been disabled but they work for the Government so they have more rights (with expenses).

If I have extreme views it is because I worked hard and served my country and as a result I now have a disability that means I have to fight every day of the rest of my life for the basics. 

Now the Politicians will always tell you there is help out there for you: BOLLOCKS.  The help if ever there, is far and few and nearly always conditional.  If you try to fight the system you will find that the systems set up to to protect people are inaccessible and even if you do try use them you will always end up at the start it does pay to complain.

I have no political leanings: I hate all politicians equally for the stress I have to suffer on top of that from my disability.  All I want is to be able to live a life with reduced pain and less stress.  And before you think I'm just another whinging benefit cheat; I do not take all my benefits just enough to live on.  I am disabled because I worked hard often holding more than one job at once and having had two military careers both of which contributed to my disability.

Am I bitter?

No I am frustrated at the fact I have to BEG for the help I paid into all my life. I am angry that poluticians that claim to be accessible ignore people like me who point out the truth of living in this country in favour of people who say what they want to hear. Ostriches do not stick their heads in the sand but the UK's poluticians do.

If you have any balls MR PM then answer the letters I have sent in stead of passing them down to a civil servant in charge of the toilet paper at the arse end of the country.

Monty Python once referred to "Yorkshire the 3rd World" I put it you you England has a 3rd world population and everyone of them has a disability.  Well done you ethic less members of the system and that is most if not all of you in positions of power (not the poor sods on the work face who often get in the neck from us because their management are moronic yes men!).

If you want to correct the problems of the system and since you won't talk to anyone on the receiving end try taking to your bottom tear work face workers and allow them to tell you how stupid your policies have become.

Mr Cameron I start this rant because my brother asked me to take a picture of you with your throat cut titled "one cut no one would mind", I won't apologise for that because you are making the same  mistakes of the previous Government. 

And just a little point saying "we are all in this together" does not mean you are. If you want to make some cuts try cutting MP's wages in half and you as a millionaire don't need the money so give your wage to the NHS.  Politics is mean to be a vocation not a career it is the greed of MP's and Bankers that has ruined this country.


And now the Bloody News

Remembrance in Cleckheaton!

Until now I have only shown my militant evil side but I do have things that I take seriously.  Things like the way we treat Disability and Old People.  It was pointed out to me I have been hard on the currant PM but I do not have political preferences at all I have all MP's equally.  It is not my job to believe in any politician; it is their duty to make me believe in them.  I can say that to date most have failed and I can honestly say that I like them as much as I like Bankers (-B+W).

Anyway the point of this blog is about a promise that was made that on the 11th hour of the 2nd Sunday of every November "We Will Remember".  I am an ex soldier and served in the regular Army and the TA.  In Cleckheaton 5 years ago as my disability took hold I attended the memorial in Cleckheaton at the appointed time to find there were 3 of us.  I was told that Cleckheaton holds it's parade at 2pm; I question the people that ran the parade and ask "Why?", to be told we've done it this way for 50 years.  I started to campaign to correct this and tried to point why to called a nutter (and fellows of the Legion in Spen if writing remarks like that to each other it is better to not forward it as often the person you were talking about receives it).  Just because somebody does something one way different from the rest of the country does not make it right after all thirty years ago we stop using paper carrier bags in favour of plastic , see how well that turned out.

In the rest of this blog I will give a brief history and remind people the true meaning of Remembrance and the point of it in the modern World.  Though at this moment I must rest so I will have to continue tomorrow.

I was going to give a brief history however due to physio and the actual day it's self I am recovering and will be for a few days.  I did however conduct a parade for about 50 people who turned up assuming that like everywhere else in the country there would be a parade at 11am.  The people who came were grateful that there was someone there and we had a very respectful parade with the last post played and the peom "for the fallen".  I had also made a wreath (well large poppy) that people could place their own poppies in so we had something to lay.  Last year I made it weath shaped and drilled 30 holes in it for people to place poppies in, although 30 people attended only about 18 put poppies in.  This year I changed the design so that if only one person put a poppy in it would still look good and so only drilled 18 holes.  I was wrong again 50 people turned up and at least 30 people put poppies in, we had to put 2 or 3 poppies to each hole.  I have put a picture of my finished design below.


The holes are drilled either side of the dedication in the black bit.


I will say I attend remembrance day in memory of Dave Goodall murdered delivering aid to Bosnia in 1994. I knew him when I first joined the Royal Engineers, he was a Corperal on a PTI course and I was a new recruit. After he left the Army like me joined the TA at Bradford which he was still a serving member of.  Although he died in a war zone he was in his civilian role, therefore his name is not on any War Memorial and he is not remember by many people.

Next time you attend Remebrance Day remember that nobody wins a War there is only lose.  Soldiers die on both sides and so do civilians and the job of this parade is to say on behalf of all serving forces "we will fight your wars without question but remember the cost will be high, look to our past!"

Funny I hope, coming soon (then I'll write some posts!)

My aim is to write about things that I have to laugh about because if I don't the stress will kill me.  You would be surprised about how our MP's regard people with disabilities.  The DWP will never admit mistakes and insist that disabilities are wrong if they can't match the paperwork; the paperwork could never be wrong.

In our country only the able bodied (Normies) have the right to make decisions that affect people with disabilities.

And now those of us that have hidden disabilities and have to manage their lives to prevent in further injury have to suffer the stress of wondering if we will be forced into work even though this would cause pain and injury.  Funny that someone who has no pain or a disability can work for money, whilst people with disabilities generally pushed into voluntary work.  The pay packet should reflect suffering of those who the act of working causes pain and injury. They should get paid more than the Normies they work with as work does not generally cause them pain.  Or to make things fair, give everyone the same amount of pay and just inflict pain on Normies so we are all equal. 

This is no sillier than what the chinless wonders in cabinet are coming up with.


This is the chinless wonders I mean and I think this photo was taken in private or Dave and George trying to get down with the kids.


Well my pain levels are now high my hands hurt and I have subluxed my neck.  I know that I shouldn't work longer than 10 minutes at a time on the computer but I have always had a tendency to keep going and ignore my personal discomfort and anyway if I wasn't in pain I would forget I am disabled.  I sometimes wake up and don't notice the pain and throw myself out of bed the as gravity gets hold and I remember I'm not very good a standing.  It's not good suffering from advanced Gravity.

I leave you with the one cut nobody will mind!







Go on tell me you mind!

Apparently my wife and brother did so I have replaced the original Picture!
