haha, lovely bit of suspense there...
The funny things that make our lives interesting strike again!!!

t was in the Indipendent on Saturday that schools could be closed for extra weeks after the summer holidays to combat the spread of any pandemic. What would the parents of these children do about childcare especially if they were in the police, fire, nhs etc delivery drivers etc? If they left them ...

Wall-e, the greatest film I have seen in a long while, despite being a kiddy thing.
I'll probably do an edit with others, I just can't remember them

try Hugh-Firley-Whirley's Landshare thing, to be round on the channel 4 website, it looked good on the episode and I had a quick look when trying to find places to grow veg in Portsmouth...
Otherwise I wouldn't try keeping hens too far away!

we've got our own going atm (well, two friends and the loony clan -us- throwing mud at the wall and hoping it'll stick).
Give me a couple of years and I may have a project for a course too (or 2, or 3). But better get to architecture school first!

Brilliant, glad to see that people still value friendship .

Millims, well at least you are conscient of the risk, find somewhere in advance where he can be treated properly, don't rely on a last minute dash to the GP if he could really get hit seriously. In other cases (ie normal flu) you can't plan, but the classification of H1N1 means that you will probabl...

oh dear, the histeria is spreading across TWO threads :( :( :( Just checked the Beeb, and they have a whole page dedicated to it.

Ok, Big Al, I know a couple of posts back I was border-line rude, but I can't see how you can call it BS: -the underlining health concernes involved in the UK cases that I saw induced (by conter-measure drugs or other wise) an immunodeficiency, to be honest a normal flu could have killed them. I am ...

well done for what you've done!
Did you really have huge problems getting tamiflu?

any leylandii around here soon develops the horrible Stihl Beatle (of the wider genus chainsaw monstratus ).

I finished cutting our hedge, and decided that they are useless, and time consuming... but how else do you cover the house from the road?!

could the nobly one be a quince by any chance?

well 'in this day and age' you can be filmed from any different angles, by CCTV, police cameras, news crews... there's not a lot we can do about it... The government doesn't seem to care and most people don't seem to care (ie. all the people wanting a mug shot on the news, the 5 minutes of fame idea...

nope sorry nothing like that Zoe.
hmm, it's interesting, I may investigate further into my hedge...

it's some sort of cyprus apparently, I had to clamber all over it to give it a trim, I believe that it was an irritation from the sap, but it could have been an insect I s'pose. Not much help otherwise sorry, I tend to be able to not scratch an itch! so never put anything on them... but these were v...
