disabled arbs?

[Timbermcpherson]

I know a deaf arb, hes really good.

 

One funny story he told me was that he finished a job on a friday and locked up his stuff at his yard.

Monday morning his big old 9 inch chipper wouldnt start, took a while to find it was out of fuel.

 

Yep he didnt turn it off on friday!

I can remember a tree worker with one leg . I saw this one legged man with a landy 110 HCPU in a landrover mag a few years back . I kid you not . I'm sure some of the other landy men will recall this article . You could google for pics

No... everyone got the joke apart from you, go to bed and come back tomorrow, you will see the funny side

 

...or don't come back - not a problem either way.

Does deafness affect balance????

 

I know the balance organs are in the inner ear, do not know if the two are linked???

all depend on what type of deafness it is, whether it was caused through an accident thet damaged the inner ear or if it was noise related or naturally occouring

[AlvinD]

Mine was naturally occurring. i think the two are related. if not then i dont know what my excuse is lol

I have epilepsy which is regarded as a disability but imo a disability is only that if it stops you carrying out a 'normal' life. My epilepsy does not stop me doing things as such, i just have to watch that i don't get too dehydrated or not have enough sleep.
