What a week- I got a (temporary) promotion at work yesterday following an interview. I am now an acting Assistant Headteacher. Yup. Tonight I am off to meet our MP, Graham Brady (Con), at his surgery in Altrincham to explain our situation to him- that Trafford Council have taken the 'irrational' decision to cut our disabled son Isaac's respite and support package by over 50% and how this is an unjust attack on a disabled child and his family. I suspect he will know little about it (Trafford Council seem to have done very well at keeping the whole thing very quiet), and maybe he'll care even less, but he represents us and he's going to hear our views and hopefully at least ask some questions. Simultaneously, we have taken legal advice and Trafford will be hearing from our solicitor shortly. When we win, I'll let you know.
Gene Maltais made several hot rockabilly records in his 1950s heyday. This was one of them.

Raises a glass. Best of luck with all of that. Hopefully you're on Santa's good list and you won't need it. Damn, these are rum old times to be living through and no mistake.
Ah bugger it makes me mad as hell all the things that are being slowly whittled away to pay for some fat cat (cunt)'s skiing holidays.
Bastards.
Good luck mate.
If he doesn't help kick the cunt in the balls.
(Sorry, like Simon this kind of thing makes me so angry. And it's so much worse in the States)
fists clenched. go you

Give him fucking hell SA, in an articulate way of course and if that fails do what Lee says.
Oh and congrats as the young folk say.
Oh, all the best, mate ... fingers crossed!!!
And, of course: congratulations!
Congratulations on the promotion. Does that make you one of the bosses now? Good luck with your MP
Got back a while ago. I was fairly calm and articulate I think. Brady seems like a thundering Tory tosspot in the press but he listened and seemed sympathetic. Said he will write to head of children's services and express concern over several aspects of our situation. Told him we're taking legal advice to which seemed to be taken seriously. We shall see. One way or another I'm gonna have these fuckers over this.
George I hope its not a them and us thing re. Work and promotion. I'm in temporarily to cover an absence. I'm working on on timetable and curriculum and and would like to help improve it.
maybe I'm just too cynical. good luck.
Congratulations and good luck.
By the way, it's good to be able to listen to and download this track!
