C'mon Basil, you should be able to do better than that, but it was ok, I suppose.
So at what point did you panic?

Gran I'm not panicing but a lot are. How do you think you'd feel if you were a pig? These things always seem to get hyped up, the death toll has dropped in Mexico City to around 20 now, the others died from other causes and you have to consider that Mexico City has a bigger population than Australia and most live in squalor.... My Dr assured me that the vaccine was available and to come in and get a shot if I was at all worried. Poor Pigs - this flu is apparently a variation of the Avian Flu....
I think vested interests hype these things up especially the media who rely so heavily on sensationalising for profit. No more flu jokes - I promise....

Well whilst all the hype is about Swine Flu it sure takes the pressure off the rest of the worlds woes.They tell us that the virus cant be passed on from pigs,guess nobody told the Egyptians,nearly half a million slaughterd so far.I think that there is a great over reaction.Just my thoughts on the matter.cheers.Ibbo.

Yeah not much future being an Egyptian Pig. This is a cultural thing rather than a necesarry precaution.... Yep the whole furore is giving the Banks time to figure out new fees and quietly slip them in while we worry about the flu.

Not bad basil............actually hubby thought it was funny but he would........read on......I was appalled at seeing milking cows with their tales cut off, how barbaric can some people get, still think I will write to RSPCA, as you can see I am pretty disgusted with it then hubby said.................yep it stops the cows pooing on their tails and rubbing it on their udders and they have written a book about it, it's called "The Tail of Poo Titties"
