Unhappy Swansea National

I was extrememly angry, pist off and upset yesterday morning when I turned up for the Swansea round of the micros. I'd picked up Sam from London, driven to Swansea to stay overnight in a nearby hotel, then when we got to the club the next day, there we're stairs everywhere! After all that, we had to just get back in the car and drive home (Sam is a wheelchair user if you didn't already know).

I've calmed down now, but was fuming for so long with no one or thing to vent my frustration at. I could let my paranoia run riot, but that wouldn't achieve anything.

Can I please ask the powers that be, to clearly state whether a venue is wheelchair friendly or not in future. That simply means saying if there are stairs / ramps or whatever into the building. I know this currently only affects me and Sam, but I know of a few other people it could possibly affect too. If I remember, I'll also mention it at the EGM. I don't think it needs a resolution or anything, just someone to remember to mention it.

I know I could have come without Sam, and there have been a few places and times when I have. But that tends to be places that take less time to get to in the first place.

This isn't a rant, however much it might sound like, but I do need to get it off my chest.

Sarah, you really must be the most annoying person ive ever come across. Between your rants at brca approved micro lipos and now this, it really begs the question whether your all there or not. Youve been banned from uk-microrc for various reasons and your now heading the same way on oOple.

Did you not think to just ask before travelling all that way if it was wheelchair friendly???? I certainly wouldnt book a skiing holiday without checking there was snow there.

Please can a mod ban this woman before she starts wasting tonnes of forum space with her usual garbage.

I simply forgot to ask if the venue was wheelchair friendly, and no one from the club mentioned it either - just one of those things really.

Thom - Some people have a problem with me, and quite frankly, that is their problem and not mine, I don't have time to bother with those people. I was banned from Cosie's forum, because he has a personal problem with me, and quite frankly, he can stick his forum where his shark doesn't go, or maybe it does, I don't know, don't really care.

You obviously care enough to sit in front of your pc and respond to comments. You also spent many hours on uk-microrc (or c0sies forum) chopsing back at everybody who gave you negative comments.

Semms to me that your an attention seeker who enjoys the drama of it all. Maybe get a life......

I just refuse to track crap from people, had enough of it allready, so, if you've not any positive to say, best thing is generally not to say anything.

Sarah,

Ill say this once and once only...and in the public domain so that it is on record.

I have deliberately not replied to any of your posts/rants/threads in ages for a reason. I do not come here or onto the micro forum (or any forum for that matter) and say that you can shove your Shark where the sun doesnt shine, yet you feel the need to say that about me.

If that continues I will take matters further as I do not appreciate your personal attacks on my charector.

I do not like you, that is true, but then im not going to like everyone I meet....however I keep my feelings at a "I dont like her" level, and certainly dont go around telling people that "she can shove her thingy up her whatsit".

If it doesnt stop then I will stop you.

We have a wheelchair user racing at Wycombe twice a week (every Saturday and every Monday evening) and it takes 3 guys less than 10 seconds to lift him up a set of steps and down again at the end of the evening. This has been done for years and years, never a problem.

At Swansea there were only 1 straight set of 8 steps, you had 50+ guys there that could have helped, all you had to do was ask.

It's really starting to look like you are just out trying to cause hassle with some grudge to bear.
