April 27th, 2007 · No Comments · Disability
I can’t help but think that if this poor guy was able bodied someone would have checked a bit harder to make sure he was really dead…now I’ve read that again and that sounds like I mean that they could have made sure he did not live – but hey they sent him to the [...]

Eoin is a lovely man (and other Barcamp gossip)
April 21st, 2007 · 6 Comments · Blogging, irishelection2007, Social Media
