An Poist (post office) here in Eire has issued a postage stamp to celebrate the Irish Wheelchair Association, they have 20,000 members, that should be 20,001 including me.

This is very cool. I'm wondering if our Postal Service has ever done something like this.

Yeah the older dude is SCI, Oliver Murphy, one of the founder members of the IWA and power lifted a long time back in the first para Limp ex in 1960..... One thing that ticks me off bout the IWA is that if you have an ingrown toenail ya can sign up, then again the dude over the spinal cord association is a complete :censored: so that makes em even.......
