5-0 to The Arsenal! Yippee! We were walking home past the Green Lion in Borehamwood when were asked by people smoking outside if we were watching the game. So we paid an unplanned visit to watch the match, and so pleased we did - Good old Arsenal. Hello to everyone we spoke to in the pub; those that went off to the Indian resaurant I hope yu enjoyed it, we have had 5 takeways from that place when being at various people's homes and have never rated them. Maaybe it's better eating in the restaurant.

Hello to Mihaela who I met on the Jubiliee Line - you are now in my Bearsac Meets Public page in the gallery. Thanks for buying the book and hope you enjoy it.

Today Debra's work took her to Parliament for the All Party Parlimentary on Learning Disability - on the subject of making elections accessibel. We spoke breifly to Tom Clarke MP who had bought Debra's book last time we were there but he has not yet read it - Come on Tom, get reading!

Had quite a journey to Debra's office yesterday. I got called racist names by some chavs on the Thameslink. Then on the tube a mixed-race or light-skinned black/brown man said I am not cute because I am brown! Not quite sure how he was meaning it - humans a a weird bunch!

There were two good moments though. Debra sold a copy of her book 'Travels with My Teddy Bear' .
Also a man, as he was getting up to exit the tube, gave her £5! She didn't realise what it was at first and assumed it to be a bit of paper with a website on or something as people do sometimes give her bits of paper with websites to look at. When she realised it was a fiver she tried to refuse it saying that she was not homeless and was on her way to work! The man didn't take it back and just got off the tube. One of the other passengers then informed us that the man was a well-known actor called Marc Warren. We have just Googled him and have found that he played Danny Blue in Hustle. He has also been in Grange Hill and Dr Who. Bet he was laughing to himself that we didn't recognise him when I would have been saying to him and the other passengers that I have been photographed with famous people for my website! Debra advises the ladies to look out for Marc as he is rather cute. We see from IMDb that his will be in Ben Hur which is currently in production.

If by any chance you read this Marc thank you very much for the £5. Was not sure why you gave it us. A passenger suggested it might have been because you liked what we were doing - so sorry if you took offense at Debra's not wanting to take the money. Hope you don't mind, but Debra is donating it to DANDA when she attends a committee meeting tommorow. DANDA (Developmental Adult Neuro Diverse Association) DANDA is run and controlled by people that have neuro-diverse conditions.

(If anyone wants to donate to DANDA there are donate buttons on their website).

DANDA caters for adults as adults get overlooked by services; as do people with invisable disabilities like Dyspraxia, Asperger’s Syndrome, AD(H)D and other related conditions such as dyslexia and dyscalculia. Like many small charities DANDA get very little money; it tends to be the well-known charities that get endless amounts of money and can afford expensive campaigns to raise more money. The big charities often have lavish food and drink at their functions and often use pity to get the public to donate, thus making the people they raise money for look like meek victims that need to be mollycoddled. User-led charities and the people that use their services don't want pity; they want rights and equal inclusion in society. Debra and I urge people if you want to give to charity, give consideration to the philosophy and politics of the charity and realise that small user-led charities need your money more than the big boys and deserve it more as they are not run by do-gooders that want to help the 'poor dears'.

We have just updated the Gossips page with a blog about Debra refusing to disembark from an early terminated First Capital Connect train.

We attended Hugglets Teddy Bear Festival today at Kensington Town Hall where we met thousands of teddies and hundreds of humans. Thanks to the people that bought Debra's book Travels With My Teddy Bear; hope you enjoy it. Thanks to the person that bought the book on the tube this morning too.

My daughter 'Teasac' came 1st in a teddy bear skipping competition and her curling team are through the the semi-final of the Teddy Bear Curling Championship; bet you never thought teddy bears play curling.

I have an imposter!

I have had a few stalkers before but now I have just been made aware that I have an imposter using a 'k' Bearsack. This wannabe has a twitter! Please be aware that this rag tag and bob tail is not me and bears (excuse the pun) no relation to me.

http://twitter.com/bearsackThis is not me - I'm far better looking.

I may be imitated but never equalled!

To the person that posts that they saw me on a sidewalk; if you meant me then you left you the message on the wrong teddy's website; hope you find me someday if you haven't made it here yet sweety.

Quick update before we leave for work. came across a
new gossip about me and Debra on Twitter.

11th February

Sometimes you just have to make a stand. Commuters of First Capital Connect on the Thameslink line (of which I am famous) will maybe know what I mean. Yet again there were problems. The train was held at Hendon for about 5 minutes and we then treated to a very polite and heartfelt apology that the train would now be terminating. Passengers disembarked and stood on the platform all apart from Debra and me. Solo human and defiant teddy bear, fed up with the ever deteriorating train service stayed put. The driver dutifully entered each carriage making sure no passengers remained and informed Debra that the train has terminated and to to get off.
Debra said 'I'm not getting off'
driver 'Yes you are'
'No I'm not' replied Debra calmly.
'I'm phoning the police'
'Phone them then' said Debra.
The driver then took to the open door informing the passengers on the platform that the service is being held up as a passenger is refusing to get of the train.
Debra said not to use me as a feeble excuse and that the train was canceled and terminated before I refused to get off.
The driver then told the passengers that he had phoned the police. Well, he must have an invisible Eastenders phone that connects straight away as we saw no phone and it was only 10 seconds or so after he had tried to intimidate us by saying he was phoning the police. He must have texted them as we heard nothing!

The driver then decided to take another route around his problem and sat down near us (but not too near)! He talked about overtime as if Debra would be annoyed that he gets overtime, for her protest I guess. Debra calmly informed him that she hopes that he does get overtime and that she has no grudge against him.

Passengers then tried to reason with Debra who calmly said that she had done this before a couple of years ago and it had worked. By now the driver had gone into the driver cabin. and Debra was on the phone to her employers asking them to get on to a newspaper. However before the newspaper phoned her the driver came out of his cabin and informed us that the train was back in service! Debra then got a call from the Evening Standard and there is an article on page 11 at the bottom. It is also on the their website click here.

This will feature this on the Politics page as a more permanent presence.

I urge all you passengers next time you are told the train is terminating before its destination make a stand a stay seated!

Some pages on my site get very few visits even where there is a button on the toolbar for the page. In a bid to get bring more awareness of these pages I am starting a This week's Featured Page.
You can click the icon on the homepage that looks like this. or click on it here now.

I will attempt to link it to a different page each week but likely I won't as I have to rely on Debra!

This week's featured page is the Politics page. This is getting
0 - 4 vists a day only and politics is very important. There is not much on there currently but we want to make this a feature (It is not about party politics).

Next week will most likely be the Art of Bearsac page and then in following weeks the Teddy Bear Dating page - the
Teddy Bear Problem page and other pages but you need not wait to read these pages are featured you can click on the links here now or explore the site.

Sorry to the 2 men that were disappointed that we had no more Travels With My Teddy Bear books to sell today on the First Capital Connect train on the Thameslink line. Due to the cancelled trains Debra and I went northbond to St Albans to get a fast southband train into London. This worked out well for us (as getting different train to the one planned often does). We sold the last book we had to a lovely lady on the way into London; (hello lovely lady). This left none for the two men that asked for a book each in another compartment. However, we see these men quite often on the train and I know they come on this website. So I am letting you know, and anyone else that sees us and is interested, that we have just ordred more of Debra's book and hope to have some some time next week. In the meantime you can order from Amazon which you can link to from our book page.

To the lady in the green coat, whose foot Debra trod on in Brixton Market this afternoon, a big sorry to you x x.

Hello to the lovely lady we spoke to in Banardos charity shop, nice to know you are not part of society's sheeple.

To the lady smoking outside the Brixton Road shop she works in, that I upset by saying 'hello' to her - you need a teddy bear in your life girlfriend!

Does anyone know what Jeremey Clarkson said about Asperger's Syndrome on Top Gear on Sunday, we cannot find out online just yet, only that he said something in relation to a fake suicide on an advert. Before finding out that much we were wondering if it was it in connection to co-presenter James May (who is more on the spectrum than most in our opinion)? If anyone can enligten us the please email.
