Yes, one day

I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS, apart from the application form

It's not happened yet, I'll wait and see what's on offer

Hi Scope,

I love it too, i'd love to appear in the media presenting new science and technology, not even about bionics (narcissistic?) but just because I gosh darned love science.

But, on to your question:

Which impairment? I can't clap that well but otherwise I could probably find a way to do something. But, what I call 'my new physical configuration' is certainly interesting to people. They love to stare but then pretend they aren't, do they think I am Medusa from Ancient Greek mythology?

People in public mostly tut at me, kiss their teeth, and mutter under their breath 'Oh lord, that's terrible...' and 'Oh, you're doing SO well' and 'I would probably kill myself if I were you' then... 'Oh, no, I mean... uh'.

This kind of thing is relentlessly common in the UK if I am wearing no prostheses or just a leg, or my boring arm. Something different happens in the USA where people grab my hand and thank me for my service to their country. Awkward.

With my new bionic prosthesis, you can see in the documentary, people are pretty stunned, slightly excited or mind boggled. I think maybe we got it looking pretty cool, which pleases me. In general people seem happy to kind of think or be aware I am 'making an effort' to 'return to normality' so they don't tut... but mostly they look very confused, which works for me.

It depends if you do it on my nipples with your tongue...
