If I knew her, I'd organise a whip round for tickets to the Kate Bush concert

I was thinking that. How come someone who was deaf from birth had a Geordie accent like her mum??? That bit doesn't make sense.

How do you have a Geordie accent if you've never heard a sound??

I've never accused a fellow poster of being a fiddler.

HTH

Why not?

I accept that is certainly at suity's end of the spectrum, but there is no harm in trying to lift standards now and again.

And while it is perfectly acceptable to be offensive to each other and about those in a position of power, is there really any need for suity to behave like such a vile excuse for a human being?

Why do you feel the need to objectify this woman within the context of what is actually an interesting story from a scientific and personal interest angle?

Exactly, vetran. Nice to have some other reasonable people around here.

[Old Greg]

I saw that and thought, how nice. I must admit I never thought 'Would Mich' maybe Suity is just more of a sexual animal than the rest of us?

WHS, and indeed objectifying men too, as if men are incapable of displaying compassion, genuine scentific interest or pleasure at the fact that a deaf person could be treated and provided such joy by modern medicine.

In the quiet words of the virgin Mary, "Come again?"?
