Hello from England, UK

Hi, I've just joined so I guess I'm a newbie!! I have got a good sense of humour and love satire. I also write humorous poetry and some seriously reflective ones as well. I love a good hearty discussion as well as hating what the UK Government is doing to the disabled in this country.

Hello and welcome

Hi Gillie

I'm a newbie too. I'm sure we will make friends here it seems a very friendly site
I have also dabbled in poetry on and off for a few years.

Hi Pam

Welcome to Able Here.

Maybe we should have a poetry corner?

Hi Karl

Thanks for the welcome.

Now that could be a great idea. A site I was on was for fans of an Australian actor and we had a poet corner on there, it produced some great poetry.
My grammar isn't always perfect but so long as people enjoy the poem is the main thing.

I don'tt whether you are still on this site but I'm relatively new to disability and over the past year have eventaually been assessed by all and sundry and have ended up with zilch help courtesy of this government and it looks like there is worse to come for those who are disabled. But what can we expect. As far as I know there are only about two people in government one in the Lords. I contacted them both and did get one reply. Nice. I listen to question time etc. but disability rarely comes up. Considering Cameron, himself had a disabled child one would think thatt he would be hot on disability but disappointingly he is not now. Some disabled do get to London and try to lobby but a lot pay lip service oonly and all soon forgotten. We are expected to be grateful for the little they deem to be acceptable. God help the young disabled in the future and those that cannot voice their concerns.

Poetry here? What can you mean?
Suggestion from the head of team?
Dissenting words may soon transpire,
Then someone will mess it up by writng something that doesn't scan, err, "ire"

Hi all. I'm pretty new to all of this. I've been a wheelchair user since may 2015 after waking up one morning with not feeling or movement from my waist down.

I'm a bit of a gym nut and since my NHS physio was stopped I had to find my own ways of getting active so I joined a gym. Through my journey so far I've been writing a blog to inspire and encourage people to try something new. Please feel free to follow and pass on my blog to anyone who you might think find it useful: www.refinedwithgold.wordpress.com

Thank you
