Hi all,

Here’s some news that will get your blood boiling and your sugar levels low.

I decided to go to Chessington World of Adventures to have a ruddy good time and as usual, I went directly to the medical hut to sort out my disability bands for my diabetes; they allow me to go to the front of queues due to the risk of getting low blood sugars whilst waiting.

I was greeted by a disabled man (not sure what he had) and I explained my situation of being diabetic, handed him a note from the doctor clearly stating that it is a risk for me to wait in the queues and listened intently to what he had to say:

CWA Staff: “Is that the only disability you have?”

ME: “erm, yes, it IS the disability I have”

CWA Staff: “Well we only hand out the bands to people who find it difficult to wait in queues”

I was stunned. I simply said ok and left the hut. The story doesn’t get much better than this. Luckily I went back in with some guts and explained:

ME: “How is this acceptable? I pay £36 to enter Chessington to have a good time, not to constantly worry about my blood sugars. When I wait in a queue, my blood sugar levels lower; especially in the sun. I get to the ride and ignore my symptoms because I am excited about getting on and then have a hypo whilst on it.”

CWA Staff: “Well we will give you the band this time, but next time you need to bring a letter stating it’s difficult for you to wait in a queue”

Well hangon… Didn’t I just tell you it’s difficult you fool, and read the damn letter too, it explains it.

So anyway, I got the band but what a total waste of my time.

I guess what I want to try and say is that Chessington World of Adventurers is way off the mark when it comes to defining what a disability is.

Grr, James

Hi all,

Have you ever got up in the morning, pushed your finger through the orange carton film at the top only to find you just pushed the pouring mechanism into the carton. No? Well…

Have you ever got up in the morning, successfully opened up the shitty carton and maintained its functionality, only to find that it pours out like the first piss in the morning. I mean for goodness sake, does gravity not apply to these cartons. You might as well just pour the fucking orange juice onto the table to save you the time.

Grrr. Orange juice cartons really grind my gears.

What a frustrating 5 months. I had made a website called www.thinkingproducitivty.co.uk about 5 months ago thinking that Google will be lapping up the content like a cat who has no concept of being full, alas, I was wrong.

After 5 months of no Google indexing, I realised there was a problem. It took all my courage to a post on the Wordpress site with such an embarassing issue.

I got some great responses and I truly thank the users for helping me out:

One of them suggested it might be a server issue. I contacted one.com to see if there was any problems with the servers that might be blocking Google index from my Wordpress website. The customer service guy “Eduard” responded within about 10 seconds with “check your .htaccess file”…

I simply removed the lines above

And literally facepalmed myself, not palmed... That would be very weird? no?.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
