That’s a lot of info about you. Can you explain briefly please?

Also colloquially I think of pacing having positive connotations - either doing a run, or boozing. It’s usually something enjoyable you will be doing for a long period “the Wedding is at 12 and they have the reception booked until 2am, so pace yourself at the bar!”

I love rationing. In UK it has strong connotations of not being enough, meagre etc due to food rationing lasting so long after WWII. In the UK saying something is rationed really causes a “Sharp intake of breath” it’s not fun, it’s imposed on you, it’s hard to manage.

After reading @Trish excellent overview, I think “pacing” needs replacing. It’s over. I’m not using that word again. What a muddle.

I absolutely can’t wait to get stuck into it probably next month.

I should add this was after I told her I can’t speak or cook or use an oven or leave the house. She was also unable to describe who would buy these hypothetical cupcakes from me.

If only I could speak all day! The last time the job centre decided I needed a job, the woman was quite insistent I should start a business making cupcakes.

Yeah, I can’t drive so I was pleased to hear about this. I suppose I have to do hospitality training. Or bricklaying. It feels like the question “how can we get more disabled people, unable to work, into jobs?” Had been given to a group of contestants on The Apprentice. They had half a day to...

Oh no, the person has to go up in an evac chair.

Erm - no. I’ve seen a stressed facilities manager offer to do that and they got a serious dressing down from the power chair user.

Oh in that case they’ve learned a useful lesson. Not one that the good Dr needed to learn again, though.

Yes the exploration of alternatives seems lacking. I’d guess they were just in some student Union room and they have the tiny lifts in the old building. Just shows that the organisers who invited him are in need of some serious training, they should be ashamed.

I can imagine a lot of Edinburgh Uni is inaccessible to be honest.

Nail on head, that report. I know there was a bad experience with a CEO in the past, but they just need proper oversight by trustees, CEO’s get ousted all the time.

So I do think that the issue is semantics. Some people are using a word in one way that isn’t the same as another person would use it. To take responsibility seems to mean you should change your illness/not be ill. Well we know that isn’t possible. Let’s think about the opposite. What does it...

The behaviour from MEA over and at that meeting was despicable. I guess this is partly why.

I liked the blog and I understand nothing about science

If only we were like them (psychiatrists) and not like ourselves!

I wish someone would ask PG if he would be open to the idea that his views are nothing special and would he consider not boring everyone with them.
