I've had mine and, predictably enough, it's a mish-mash of things they've already told us and commonsense. In other words, they've wasted millions of pounds of our money on something which is totally useless.

But if you look on the back, you'll find that they've discovered a way to waste even more of our money by offering translations into ten different languages. And the final touch which seems to neatly sum up the utter futility of the whole enterprise is that there's a translation available in Welsh. Why? How many people in the UK speak Welsh only? It's just another sop to political correctness which the long-suffering taxpayer will end up paying for, on top of our already rapidly escalating debt mountain.

I'm worried...but not about swine flu. :(

Am I worried?

Well, I woke up sneezing yesterday, and I immediately thought of all the swine-flu stories on the news. Thought of people with masks and deserted streets in Mexico. What did I do? I giggled out loud at how ridiculously easily I've been infiltrated by the BBC!

I'm still horizontal, man.

Of course your worried Wynonie, but this Government are great at wasting money just to spell out the bleeding obvious, but money's no object because they know they won't be the ones to clear up the crap AGAIN:(

Worried, NO

Believe everything whats said in the media, NO.

Whats the cure, Tamiflu? Relenza?:rolleyes:, both which we are apparantly stockpiling (With someone making a nice proffit from this:rolleyes:), and these may cause psychiatric side-effects? And its not even a cure it only helps you recover???

Think I will see where it goes and act when needed.

A link to the leaflet for those that want to read it.

We have a good stockpile of Anti Viral Drugs (Including Tamiflu & Relenza) - enough to treat more than 33 million people (half the UK population) and we are planning to increase this.

Anti Viral drugs are not a cure, but they help you recover if taken within 48 hours of symptoms developing,

Also reading the leaflet the benefits dont seem that great really. As in worth taking the drugs?

We can be sure because Gordon is Saviour of the Universe, in fact when he leaves parliament they're signing him up for Flash Gordon remakes:rolleyes:

I don't think this flu is any worse than most, not in its present strain anyway. The panic all started in America and we always follow suit. :rolleyes:

We can swop health notes if you like, I have heart disease and diabetis but I have not been certified or sectioned yet.
I dont think your diagnosis of dementia would wash.
If I was to refer to your problem, which is something I would not do, I would be in trouble.
For the first time in your life, pull your smart arsed horns in and admit that it is not only Garinda who has brains.
