Oh crikey I've got another one.
I used to be a commercial/advertising photographer and did some gratis work for a group here in South Oz called SPARC - the Sports, Arts and Recreation Council for the Disabled.

Shooting stuff for their brochure, lotsa disabed people (they're not, they're better than us able-bodied barge-arses) at a sports field doing various stuff, and one of the people was a blind runner.

She held a rope loop with a sighted person and they ran like the wind together. Brilliant.

Anyway we all got on fatastically (she was a serious honey), just talking about blindness in general and being a bit silly. Walking across the sports field at the end of the day I came out with the Life of Brian classic "I was blind but now I can see"

I don't remember the context, but it doesn't matter.

Ice.

It makes me cringe to this very day.

[edit: Doh. 'inappropriate email/text/photo' it is not, but it's a good story anyway]
