MI5 Persecution: Brighton 24/9/98 (9980)
Brighton Day Trip - 24/Sept/1998 Certainty level: 5% On a day trip to Brighton, carrying a minidisc recorder, I managed to collect several indistinct instances of what I think were people swearing at me. Between the 0.5 and 1.5 second marks of the above recording is something that sounds like "nutter". I rec... 11 Nov 2007 08:20

MI5 Persecution: Johnny Boy (19/June/1999) (7806)
Virgin Radio-Johnny Boy (19/June/1999) Certainty level: 30% I'm not quite sure about this one, so I've given it a one in three chance of being about me. First the background.... from mid-March 1999 for some three or four months, every weekend, I bombarded Westminster MPs with faxes about the terrible, all-en... 11 Nov 2007 06:55

Jackie King from the Flying Eye 14/3/99 Certainty level: 40% In early March 1999, Capital Radio alleged they had received some emails, one of which was forwarded to me.

Foxy's Showtime on Capital FM 25/11/98 7.35pm Certainty level: 100% This one, I can say with absolute certainty, is about me. It was recorded on my Sony Recording Walkman on the evening of Wednesday 25 November 1998.

Relationships after surgery
Hello All, I was wondering how many people have had meaningful relationships with a significant other after surgery? I know there are some people here who were already married before surgery and some met people after surgery. I have not had a serious relationship since my surgery.

Question: Ostomy and Crohns
When I formerly went into a flare up of my Crohns, I would have diarrhea and blood. Now that I have the ostomy, and the fact that it is retracted and my skin is always going to suffer, I see blood anyway. I am now having more liquid bms than normal, and something I ate last night only took 2 hours to pass... 19 Sep 2007 12:00

A Response to Ken Aukett's Unreasonable Allegations:
Earlier this year, I heard from numerous people complaining about the cost of the UOAA conference. Mr. Aukett may believe that $109 a night is affordable, but unfortunately that is out of reach of many ostomates. I contacted him with ideas to lower the cost of future conferences (one specific idea was put to have a... 12 Sep 2007 23:30

UOAA Spending Practices: An Investigative Report
Public records are a good thing. A look at the UOAA's 990 reveals that the UOAA isn't meeting its obligations to members, and places funding travel junkets for a few officers ahead of actual programs for ostomates. In 2006, the UOAA raised $250,000. It saved $124,000. It spent 87,000 on staff and $5,300 on posta... 11 Sep 2007 15:34

Dansac Nova 2
I've tried many ileostomy flange/bag systems during the last decade and settled on the Dansacs as the most comfortable. I've never had any trouble, ever, with allergies until just a couple of weeks ago when the skin under the circular part of the flange started going red, and now it's painful. The square part of t... 8 Sep 2007 17:51
