There's a bit of swine flu about, which I believe the normal flu jab does not protect against. Turns out it isn't as nasty as everyone feared, but not pleasant either. Whatever it is, I hope you get better very soon.  :) :) :)

Sure do Mr. B..........but where there's a "still" (sic) there's a way

So that's what's keeping you all from visiting us, is it?

Just have a good rest Maggi and forget about all the silliness here. You probably need a bit of sanity around you. I seem to have picked up a sore throat from spending two days with my son, his girlfriend, her neice, my daughter and her son, the cook, his lover and Uncle Tom Cobley as well as 3 dogs. Among other things, they set fire in the paddock to a scarecrow dressed in rugby gear. There was a good reason for this but no-one explained to me what it was. I was glad to get home last night. ::)

I'm beginning to think I live in a dry country as the supermarkets don't sell spirits! I haven't had a drop of malt whisky since leaving Scotland! Mind you, the sign about the express checkout cheered me up: "12 items or fewer".

You'll have to go to a bottle store or other licenced liquor outlet Anthony, for spirits. Or a pub or bar for drinks thereof. Only beer and wine in the supermarkets, not even fortified wines, the rationale being that spirits would be too accessible to the under age if in supermarkets.

I thought kids these days tended to get smashed on cheap cider or alcopops not spirits?

But perhaps because spirits are not so easily available. Having said that, a 16 year old about a year ago drank a whole bottle of vodka (obtained by his mates I think) and died that night. My grandson's best friend died exactly the same way, maybe 6 months ago. And a while back another kid, about 15, ploughed a stolen car into a house and killed two sleeping children. The vodka had been bought for him by.....his mother!
