The first load got lost when my they were sent back to Jamaica. The guy they sent them with lost his luggage (bloody BWIA) and the second lot went astray when my Parents moved house. :'(

Mine was to do with aparently the chemical imbalance the presence of his particular(little swimmers) created in a certain part of my anatomy, although I have asked him whether or not he is a meths drinker since lol! The doctor said I'd just have to use condoms and reintroduce them at little stages every now and then to see if I can get used to him, don't see this one lasting long though! I accused him of having an STD the first time weird things started happening! and went to the local GMU clinic for a thorough check up! and no I am not elaborating! This was also caused by the severe lack of activity in that region as well! and then trying to make up for lost time! lol
I saw Bob Marley & Johnny Nash perform at my school (Peckham Manor School for boys) in 70 or 71 ( can't remember which) before anyone knew who he was. And I got Bob's autograph. Well pleased. I'm also a vinyl record dealer and collector (since 1970) in my spare time.

I used to love John Cravens' Newsround!! When I saw Bob, I remember being surprised by how small he was. I was only 14 or so at the time and he was the same height as me. The school was especially proud of the visit and it was duly reported in the South London Press. I'll have to check if the SLP archive goes back that far , because I'm sure they featured some photos taken in the playground of Johnny and Bob kicking a football around.

I have two uncles who were christened with the name Mary.


All infants born in the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin in the 1940's whose parents were undecided regarding their names, were entered into the birth register as "Mary" - male and female. My mammy says that "it was so The Blessed Virgin would protect them."

Brendan my majesty, (that doesnt sound right, what do you call an irish king? "feckin edjiit"?) you going to the forum night out so I can buy my king a pint? heheheh

sadly I have nothing remotely unique to add about myself.

I did once say in a new job and we were having an enforced circle thing where everyone had to stand up and introduce themselves and my thing that I was talented at was Ironing. heheh couldnt think of anything at the time because I found it all so banal. Everyone thought I was a right weirdo for a while after that.

    • @HeadNun I haven't been through the assessment for mental health issues, god knows they treat you like you have one when you are assessed for motability issues. Therefore I can't comment on what you've read but don't always believe what the media telks you as they often sensationalise things to sell papers and bend the story slightly 😉  All I am doing in this thread is asking people who disagree to the PIP reform in its current format to write to their MP to say so and ask for a well consulted and thought through change. I'm not here to change people's minds but happy to discuss how disability impacts lives.
    • I hate the idea of someone with a genuine disability losing money, it's heart-breaking. I thought the whole idea of these cuts was to get kids with mental health issues, which we used to call 'the human condition', off benefits and into a job. Before anyone says anything, I'm not talking about people with severe autism.  If the tests are so astringent, Spartacus, how come healthy youngsters with anxiety are getting benefits? It's ludicrous.  This from The Times:  Then there is mental health. This is the fastest-growing category of claim; anxiety and depression is now the single biggest reason to claim PIPs, accounting for 16 per cent of spending. Including problems such as autism and ADHD, there are 1.4 million people claiming for “psychiatric disorders”, almost 40 per cent of the total.   NHS figures on Thursday found that 23 per cent of people of working age now have a mental disorder, up from 18 per cent a decade ago, rising to 26 per cent in 16 to 24 year-olds. Young people are most likely to claim benefits for mental health problems and there is growing concern about a generation who may do so for decades. The number of children on disability living allowance, the precursor to PIPs, will reach a million by the end of the decade, double pre-Covid levels. Most of these are for behavioural problems such as ADHD or learning disabilities
