Crippen

As Crippen gets older you'd imagine that he would mellow a bit wouldn't you? But not a bit of it; he's still hitting below the belt and confronting people with their prejudices, whether they're non-disabled or not! As one disability celeb' once said of him 'It's like getting a back-handed compliment whenever Crippen picks you up on something you've said during an unguarded moment!'. Crippen's alta ego Dave Lupton still continues to live down in southern Spain with his wife Jeni but stays in touch with disability issues through the wonders of the World Wide Web (and this from a man who needs his grand-daughter to work the video for him!).
