Hi Folks,
How are you doing? As you know the way we are running the Group has now changed. I can no longer produce all the latest MS news in newsletter format. This is because I am now working directly for the Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre, on their newly launched web-page to be found at www.msrc.co.uk.
I also research and write for their fab MS magazine New Pathways, which you all received a complimentary copy of in April! This is taking all my energy so for all the latest news about MS and ways to Take Control please subscribe to this magazine, I am sure most of you have already, I'm just checking up on you!!! I will still send out the local and Group News in newsletter format though I must admit I am mad to do this mailing on my own and if anyone wants to give me I hand I'd appreciate the help!
To subscribe (for a year) send a cheque for £10 (payable
to 'MSRC') to: The MSRC,
7 Peartree Business Centre, Peartree Road, Stanway, Colchester, Essex, CO3
5JN.
Any further questions give them a call on 0800 783 0518 or Email themsrc@yahoo.com.
The MSRC will send 'New Pathways' free to those who genuinely can't afford
the subscription!
Sheffield Centre for Inclusive Living (SCIL).
A dedicated team of disabled people have been working for five years to develop this Centre, whose mission it is to help disabled people to overcome the barriers that prevent them from being fully included in society. Since the 1970's, 13 CIL's have been developed around the country to address the needs of disabled people.
SCIL is led and run by disabled people and is focused on providing information on all aspects of disability, empowering disabled workers, and on the provision of accessible services. SCIL very much want to work closely with other similar groups in Sheffield.

"One thing I have learned, if you neglect
the supplements, diet, good eating habits, exercise and avoiding the items
that irritate your immune system, MS gets the pleasure of saying "I'm

Blonde Joke
Two bowling teams, one of all blondes and one of all brunettes, charter a double-decker bus for a weekend bowling tournament in Atlantic City. The brunette team rides in the bottom of the bus and the blonde team rides on the top level. The brunette team down below is whooping it up having a great time, when one of them realises she doesn't hear anything from the blondes upstairs, so she decides to go up and investigate.
When the brunette reaches the top, she finds all the blondes
frozen in fear, staring straight ahead at the road and clutching the seats
in front of them.
They all have white knuckles. The brunette asks, "What the heck's going
on up here? We're having a great time downstairs!"
One of the blondes looks up and says to her, "Yeah, but
you've got a driver!!"
Viagra Joke
The pharmaceutical company that produces Viagra is making the announcement today that it will soon be available in liquid form and will be marketed by a major soft drink conglomerate.
It will be marketed as a power beverage suitable for use "as is," or a mixer.The proposed ad campaign claims: "It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one."
Obviously we can no longer call this a "soft drink".
This additive gives new meaning to the names of cocktails, highballs and just
a good old fashion stiff drink. The new concoction will be marketed as "Mount
And Do".
Good Questions?
Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked,
doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys
deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?
Nutty Notices
Our English Language, doesn't always translate well in other countries...
In a Cocktail lounge, Norway: "Ladies
are requested not to have children in the bar."
In a Doctors' office, Rome:
"Specialist in women and other diseases"
A Hotel, Acapulco: "The manager has personally
passed all the water served here"
Hotel, Japan: "You are invited to take advantage if the chambermaid"
In the lobby of a Moscow hotel across from
a Russian Orthodox monastery:
"You are welcome to visit the cemetery where famous Russian and soviet
composers, artists and writers are buried daily except Thursday."
