30 years today since I became a wheelchair user. I think about this accident pretty much everyday. And every time I see the photo of 16 year old me I want to give him a cuddle and tell him it will be ok.

Terrific effort Barry. Top bloke and showing the way for anyone nudging or just nudged 50. Surely the way forward now is to challenge Max to see if he can do a marathon and top your fundraising total?!?!
Terrific effort Barry.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is an unreal watch. So good. Didn't expect to look away as much as I did. Didn't expect to laugh as much as I did. Ralph Fiennes ramps it up to a 100% in a good way.

Absolute classic

I'm increasingly becoming put off watching Premier League football. But I love and miss watching football live. So today on a visit to see mum, I've come to watch Taunton Town v Havant and Waterlooville at tier 7. Lovely stuff.
Went to watch Radio 4's Any Questions tonight. Didn't get to ask my question but would have asked.
Sewage discharges into UK rivers and coastal water are at an all time high. What more can be done to end sewage pollution and make our waterways clean and safe for everyone?
