Our logo

I’ve been asked for a larger view and a description of our logo.

It was 13 years ago when we first got involved with the Quest School for Autism anything and everything to do with autistic children here in the Eastern Cape was very very basic, no support group, no community recognition, no meetings, etc. Other than the odd PTA at the school nothing existed.

We learned that some mothers in the early ’90’s had established a group (Eastern Cape Autism Association) but that it was defunct, dormant. We resurrected it.

To be fair, it was those mothers who did the original ground work to get Quest School established (a private initiative in those days.)

We obviously needed a logo, our secretary found this, showed my wife and I and we adopted it, no other proposals, no confusion a simple ‘hey, we like it, that’ll do!’. Life is so simple when Continue reading “Our logo”

NHS Reforms – reaction to

The British Medical Association has weighed in on the new Prime Minister David Cameron’s health care proposals.

The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had a sort of a gut feeling about it, but the neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

The Obstetricians felt they were all labouring under a misconception.

Ophthalmologists considered the idea short-sighted.

Pathologists yelled, “Over my dead body!” while the Paediatricians said, “Oh, Grow up!”

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.

The Surgeons were fed up with the cuts and decided to wash their hands of the whole thing. The ENT specialists didn’t swallow it, and just wouldn’t hear of it.

The Pharmacologists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, “This puts a whole new face on the matter….”

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.

The Anaesthetists thought the whole idea was a gas, but the Cardiologists didn’t have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the arseholes in London .
