I spent a large part of this afternoon, giving answers to questions to someone who was filling in the PIP for me.  I was doing this as they have decided to stop my DLA for some reason, therefore I have to reapply for the disability benefit which is now called PIP. The questionaire was not very nice as I had to tell them how, show them how disabled I was, basically prove that I was worthy of getting this pittance I get every month.  I have received this pittance for over 20 years and have relied on it for that length of time, they said I could have it for life but they have reneagedc on that deal surprise surprise, its very hard to take anything that people say today, as honest and this is very sad state of affairs. Now that I have filled in the form, I more than likely will have to  go for medical test, to 'prove' my disability I will feel like a performing seal.

This game tomorrow in Lens, a small stadium in comparison to most football stadium, feels like the most hyped sporting event of all time, its everywhere, and the words used are 'cup final', battle of Britain and many more.  Gareth Bale, has not been helping matters, he is enjoying way too much the winding up of the English. the English press and management are biting like anything.  I do understand why the Welsh players are behaving in such a way as they are just full of joy just to be here, and regardless of whatever happens tomorrow, Wales will still be buyant as they have achieved so much so far. In the end though this is just a football game and there is no need to run riot, which I guess the English are the best at, with the hype.  I am a bit gutted that I am not in France to be honest but maybe its best to stay away due to the trouble, but given the chance I would go I think.   Back to the hype, if this carries on I will not be able to last the month of football I wil

Well, it has started, Wales's first appearance at a big footie competition for the first time in 58 years. I watched the game at home, and it was a good game for Wales as they won, it seemed to be a long game though, I guess, it was the tension, I did enjoy celebrating the goals though, even if they might have been a bit lucky, I guess they deserved the win as they had worked so hard for it, I think I put comms here and there when I right as I do like pauses I think Well its on to the next game now against England this game will have a different slant, due to the rivalry between the two teams.  Hopefully Wales will try their best again like they did last night, but it will be  a nervous affair for all concerned I reckon.  I will watch it at home as per usual I guess.  Going back to last night, when I got to the pub it was very lively in there were some lads from Liverpool staying up the road and had come down to the pub to watch the game, they made a lot of noise anyway but were

Been umming and arrring about getting myself a bike, this route my motivate me to get on at last, and the exercise might stave off the perirls of old age which I came across today, this woman tried for about 10 minutes to put her coat on, while sitting on the bus, she had patience I give her that, I would have thrown the damn thing out of the window, in the end she needed a hand to do, and anyway, she did not need the rain coad, it dried up by the time the journey came to an end, it was sad to see really, how the ravages of old age affect people.  A while later, I went for lunch and this elderly man was having some food in this cafe which I was in and when he tried to get up from the chair and leave the table, he got himself tangled up in the chair somehow and I got up to help him but he had freed himslef bv that time, the chair was lodged against the chair behind and the legs were blocking him, and he was stuck between the legs and the table, how a simple day to day thing can get
