Ouch weblog: individual blog entry

The Perorations of Lady Bracknell is a blog by, er, Lady Bracknell (funny, that), a regular on Ouch's lively messageboard. She describes her site as "the collected opinions of an august and aristocratic personage who, despite her body having succumbed to the ravages of time, yet retains the keen intellect, mordant wit and utter want of tact for which she was so universally lauded in her younger days". Which is, frankly, a lot more words than Monkey is ever allowed to use in polite conversation.

Another frequent visitor to our messageboard is Marmiteboy - mmm, Marmite - and he can be found on the web via his blog Marmiteboy On Toast. He describes himself as "a fairly old git and a disabled person" (his words - I would never describe anyone as an old git). He supports Southend United FC (never mind, Marmiteboy).

Helen Garrod's blog contains "nothing but art, and politics, utilitarianism, psychology, disability . . . " which is actually quite a long list of things, when you think about it. But her art is particularly colourful, and I could imagine hanging one of her pictures in the Ouch office. Oh yes.

And finally, someone called 'shynesscanstopu' (Crippled Monkey can spot a Morrissey lyric from a mile off) sent us possibly the shortest ever email about her weblog, also called shynesscanstopu. It said: "I'm a crip. I have a blog". Right, got it.

And that's a good way for me to move seamlessly to: if you're a crip and you have a blog, why don't you email us and tell us about it?

It's about me and my life. And the wheelchair is only mentioned very occasionally.
