You see I am classed as disabled I have age related macular degeneration in one eye, I am deaf in both ears that requires me to use hearing aids to carry on a conversation. To top that I found out 19 weeks ago I have bladder cancer and will be having an OP on Monday to remove the tumour. Now I have never used my disability in any of my posts on this forum and was never going to. The fact is that there are those who use their disability as a badge of honor or to try and bend a conversation to there way of thinking. I do not care what other think of my disability and I certainly do not get wound up by any comments. I do not need others to be offended on my behalf or to spend money on a system that is doomed to fail. My outlook on life is to make the most of what I have and ignore the ignorant.

I have not read your post as a rant Sirius it's a way of life statement and I would be proud to claim you as a friend if I knew you in the real world.
Some people such as yourself, Peanut and others on this forum enrich the world they inhabit others choose dark paths through life and use their disabilities as a weapon and never realise how much they are missing.
Good luck on Monday I will be thinking of you.
