It's been a quiet few days in the weblog corner of Ouch's orange-walled office, but just to reassure you that we haven't simply fallen asleep, I bring you the most tenuous disability-related blog post ever.
Fans of wheelchair-using TV detectives (so, er, that'll just be Ironside, then) may like to know that there's an (yeah, surprise surprise, it IS Ironside). Browse around and read about the various episodes, or gasp at the portraits of Raymond Burr (not a wheelchair user, obviously) sitting in his wheelchair! I like , personally: it's a nice shot of him taken from above (the way all wheelchair users like to be photographed - NOT!) in the middle of what looks like a shooting target. Now is it just me, or is there something distinctly dodgy about this picture?!
More news on wheelchair-using detectives as I get it, then. So, um, it could be rather a long wait. Don't hold your breath.
