Aristophanes's Profile

My nearest city is Hereford and there we have the National Blind College although I think it's now called the National College. We have a large number of blind people in and around town many of them teenagers. Something that strikes me is their jovial nature as contrasted with the hurried gloominess of their sighted peers.
Most certainly there has been a decline in civility on the streets. I think it's rather sad.
Did anyone see the England Blind football team on the tele a couple of years ago? What a wonderful idea. The pitch was a lot smaller and was marked off by waist high boards. Behind these, coaches were allowed to call out to the teams and tell them if the opposition were near. I forget what the score was. The game was played at a walking pace and taken seriously by all involved.
As it should be.

Ask them why Lot wasn't turned into a pillar of salt after he'd bonked his daughters!
My dealings with JH lead me to think you wont have much resistance once they realise that you are sincere in not wanting to accept their message. Be resolute within yourself if you don't want to share their beliefs. They'll soon accept it.
Good luck.

Hi everyone. Just thought it would be nice to say hello. I've not long joined and I'm looking forward to taking part in the Forums and enjoying other peoples' point of view. It's nice to see that there are quite a few of you not very far away from where I'm based so I hope that I'll make some new friends before long.
Now I'm going to cook my tea then come back later. Hello again and bye for now.
