Duvet day part two

OK unusual for me to post so frequently but I have had thinking time. And to those that know me that is a dangerous thing.

What I have been pondering is the continual inequality in this country. I said in my previous post how I feel alienated because my conditions aren't blatantly obvious to those around me. But having read the small print of my para Olympic tickets and just heard the problems on the news I could scream. Here is the probably I have to take one or another tablet every 2-3 hours, for me to take these into the Olympic venue I am advised to get a doctors note to ensure I am OK to take them in. So one minor hiccup. But it also states that you can not take excessive amounts of food and no drink into the venue. In principle fine, until I heard about the queues at these places. So what is going to happen is I am going to have to aim to get to the venue at least an hour before I need to to join a queue to guarantee I have enough to drink for the afternoon to save endless queueing so I can take the right medication at the right time. I also have to make sure I have the right amount of snacks to match the number of tablets so I don't have to queue up for fish and chips  at £8.50 a pop of which I can only eat the chips maybe as I am also a strict vegetarian due to allergy not choice. Or worse Mac Donald's where I can only manage a happy meal minus the meat patty.

You could say well it's your choice to go which it is, but this is a problem not just at this one event.but at all the major events if I want to go to something at the O2 or Earls Court it is exactly the same. Same if I want to go to the states to see the in-laws except there I have further issues of which medication is legally allowed in to the country. Oh and in America you try and find vegetarian food that's not deep fried or covered in artificial cheese.

Is this society's way of trying to curtail less able or sicker people into submission, to except we are 2nd rate and don't belong at these events. If so its about time we kicked back at this nanny state and told them exactly where to put this idea. I, personally am a highly educated, elequant and intelligent human being, who loves music, theatre and motor sport amongst other things and I have no intention of being told I cant do something because health and safety disapproves of my medication routine  etc. Personally I cant stand the amount of holidays given to politicians or the way certain people can get priority over the majority to achieve tickets to events, but at the end of the day I cant do anything about that. What I can do is change the way people perceive me and treat people like me.

Duvet days... dangerous for the world but great for my brain
