One can but hope, steveo.

What an amazing paralympics this has been. And now the chatter about legacy will start. My hope for a legacy is that everyone who has been ignorant of disability gets a little closer to understanding this: There is no such thing as disability. Just difference. These people are not broken or flawed or substandard versions of themselves. They are themselves. Look past the difference to the people. That's a legacy worth fighting for. oh and ps I actually love Clare Balding.

Um......so it's been pointed out to me that I'm not actually free that night on account of it being my daughter's birthday. *Shamed Face* I really AM a terrible parent.

YES! I CAN DO THAT DATE! *faints*

Feckers! Sorry to hear that Giggirl. x

WAAAAAIIIIILLLLL!!! *PLEASE* change the date! Yet again I can't go! It's been MONTHS! I'm on a writing retreat.... I'll mention you at my famous book launch..... if there ever is one...... *sob*

You're DELIBERATELY picking dates I can't do. *Sulk*

I do! I DO! *wails*

We are on holiday! Much sobbing. I'm NEVER going to get to eat curry with you again! *slightly over dramatic, I grant you*

Bastard! *More sobbing*

*sobs*

*Jealous face*

PGC - I've just tweeted this thread to @reporterboy who works for beeb and I think is local. Have you found him on twitter? I'm (@LizDawes)

Also, admin, can this be a sticky at the top of the page for a while?

Been tweeting and retweeting and facebooking. Really hoping he's found safe soon. Hugs.

But Chief, you KNOW Wednesday is POPCHOIR night!! You'd understand if you'd been to see a gig. My Lady Gaga has to be seen to be believed.

Well I can see a lot of merit in some of these phrases. Let's run that one up the flag pole for discussion. Build it into your management dashboard. JFDI people! (Just Fecking Do It)

Dammit can't do Weds nights and Tandoori Nights is my favourite Curry House!! BOOOO!!!

not us I'm afraid lovelies. x

So here you go then, the link is here, and here's how you vote for me, if you're so inclined....Obviously me and my lovely bar (Green and Blue) will give you free cake for voting. Although some of this post is not really true. Click the link, scroll down to "Blog Post of the Year" (second category) and click Vote button. Then enter your name and email (they won't pester you, it's just to monitor cheating) then on the drop down, chose "Chickens in Peckham" It takes thirty seconds, and I'd be HUGELY grateful. I know people always say its an honour to be nominated, but let's face it, they're lying. I want to WIN! http://www.the-mads.com/awards-full.htm

Oooooooh! I made it to the finals of the MAD blog awards!! I'm up for Blog Post of the Year. Proper chuffed and all! Am I allowed to put the link up here so peeps can vote for me if they want? I'm not sure what the rules are here........

Ooooh I'm going to see Sarah Moule too. She's fab.

*AHEM* So. I read the various points with interest and think I come out around here somewhere: It's not perfect. Democracy, I mean. However you organise it. A perfect system would be an incredibly wise and deeply kind dictatorship but there's no such thing so democracy it is. And even though it isn't perfect, and even though it's easy to feel disconnected, it's still better to take part than not to. Because if we all took the view that our voice didn't much matter, there would be no voices, no one to answer to, no one to call them to account, no one to give a tiny rats arse either way. So vote. It does matter. And there's no better way to organise ourselves.
