    In my involvement with environmental issues I’ve met Sir David Attenborough.

    But there is someone who I knew that was far far more impressive than Sir David.

    His name was Alan.
    He had a paper round.
    He started work at 5 am in the morning.
    He finished at 7-30 at night.
    He knew how every newspaper felt.
    He delivered to isolated farms.
    In his working life he only had 4 days off sick.
    He put the newspapers on a pushbike and pushed the bike - in all weathers.
    He worked 7 days per week and never had a holiday - only having bank holidays off.
    He pushed that bike on his own - that was weighed down by newspapers for over 22 miles per day - every day.
    He was totally blind.

    His name was Alan, he had a paper round
    With Brylcreem in his hair and a flat hat up to there
    He would smoke Woodbines and do karaoke
    And while he tried to be a star
    Derek always tended bar
    Across the crowded floor, they drunk John Smiths till 4
    They were young and they had each other
    Who could ask for more?
    At the copa (co) Copacabarnsley
    The hottest spot north of Worsbrough
    Dry anal passion
    Was always the fashion
    At the Copaaaaaaa - they had bum love.

    A genuine IP - about a remarkable man - followed by miserable disgusting comments aimed at belittling a blind fella.
    But what else can you expect from the soulless foooking rabble that’s found on here.

    What horrendous downtrodden lives they must lead.

    Possibly. Clearly a joke though.

    Watch any comedy show and you’ll hear much worse than that. A lot funnier too, like.

    I used to walk 8 miles a day five days a week fully sighted for 8 years. At the end of it my hips and knees were shot as with many of my co workers.
    To walk 22 miles a day 7 days a week all a working life doing 14 and a half hours per day is quite unbelievable. Especially when totally blind.

    Bait Nudger !?!?!
    Be assured - you haven’t a cat in hells chance !!!
    As the old saying goes - better men have tried and failed.

    But you are not actually baiting Nudger in this instance are you?
    What you are doing is trying to make a mockery of a blind person who I knew and greatly respected.

    VILE - is the only description of you and your kind.
