It has been to many Hollywood movies about this so they over react. (Or practice IF the next one would be dangerous).
A bit of practice is good but scaring the public is not good.
Hope all gets well soon.
Kind regards

My nephew is married to Anna, who is Mexican. She's getting a lot of bad feelings from people as can be seen from her quote on Facebook.
"Making this clear... Im mexican without virus, is that difficult to understand? People can be very ignorant!"
All due to media hype?

The authorities in Egypt are using it as an extremely thinly disguised excuse to rid the country of pigs. >:(

BBC  Points of View Forum posts are very critical of the new set up for Gardener's World .
I don't bother with it myself. :P

"There's a twenty pound note on the front lawn. It's yours if you go and get it.!" Well, if you've got the 'flu you won't because you can't move! I've had the 'flu once in 1982.

Forget the £20 note definition, Anthony, the real definition of flu is "if you've got it you think you're dying, and when you're getting over it, you wish you had died".  Anyone who has had flu will know what I mean.

Fermi,

I was thinking the same thing about the extra word in the version I saw of the Pooh cartoon.  There's a second cartoon in that "series" as well.  Plus assorted jokes around of course.... such as...

I called the Swine Flu hotline today.  All I got was crackling.

Cheers.

It's the 9th of May and it is cold, windy and raining. I am seriously cheesed off. >:(
The garden really needs rain but the very windy weather has beendrying it all off as soon as we get it. The ground isn't getting properly wet around the umbrellas that are disguised as Rhodos in my garden, yet the lawn at my neighbour's house, where I am spending quite a bit of time caring for her childrens' pet rabbits, is soggy and slippery :P The rain means it is really too horrible to play on the trampoline. The bunnies are making a right mess of the lawn :'(
The immediate next door neighbour ( to the neighbour with the bunnies) ( well the chap renting the property) has just had a satellite dish fixed on the wall of his house extension which is inside the boundary of my friend's garden and I'm sure she will be angry with me for not putting a stop to that, when she returns from 2weeks with most of her extended family, plus her four small children, in San Diego, twleve miles away from Mexico.
Feeling moany..... you bet I am! :(
