Listening to heavy metal: officially a handicap

Gilly · 21 Jun 2007 at 16:36

A Swedish heavy metal fan has had his musical preferences officially classified as a disability. The results of a psychological analysis enable the metal lover to supplement his income with state benefits.

Roger Tullgren, 42, from Hässleholm in southern Sweden has just got part time work as a dishwasher at a local restaurant.

Because heavy metal dominates so many aspects of his life, the Employment Service has agreed to pay part of Tullgren's salary. His new boss meanwhile has given him a special dispensation to play loud music at work.

"I have been trying for ten years to get this classified as a handicap," Tullgren told The Local.

Given the amount of people I see in town trying to chew their ears off, on friday and saturday nights, I guess we should classify dance music as a handicap too!

I honestly think that the other thread was the first ever thread that qaboy had started in 4 years. He's not very good is he? I can also tell you that he doesn't own a home computer either and can't reply because he's on holiday for two weeks now.
Delete his thread.
