We hope you’re all wrapped up warm ready for the Christmas break!
Barring the ‘fake’ interpreter making a comeback (or the Queen making her yearly message in sign language), this site will be going quiet until the new year!
Rest assured, we’ll be back laying eggs aplenty in 2014!
Thank you to all our readers, supporters and writers for all the support you’ve given us this year.
Merry Christmas!

You L’ing Chicks have been amazing.
You gave us an authentic DEAF voice. Words of graditude are inadequate.
It means that now we have a Deaf ‘broadsheet’ for all to read – and think, we on the frontline of Deaf Equality, Deaf Health, Deaf Education, Deaf Life, Deaf Culture, Deaf IdentityN Deaf Etc….we really, really can get on with our real work making lives better for Deafies. And Deaf-friendly hearies!
Have a great Christmas, stuff up and rest well, we eagerly antipicate more superb eggs every day of the week.
Praying that you’d achieve a Media Award in 2014 – yey!
Many thanks.
