Swine flu? Are you scared?, is it going to become worse?, will it die out? if it does will it come back in winter? is the constant the news part of a global scaremonger objective? I don't know what I feel, really. I feel sorry for the people of Mexico, that's for sure, I dunno, just feel that if the same scaremongering that is currently underway were placed around the rest of the word's ongoing disasters like getting Mugabe out of Zimbabwe and helping the people there for instance, then we would be able to tackle similar problems across the globe too. |

heh heh!!!! Tis a great name, especially if you're young and full of angst, full of rebellion, and completely disaffected! I can see the poste on the youth club wall as we speak! Actually, I have a client whose a great guy he works for National Grid, and one day we ended up talking about punk bands of yore etc, and then back on to work again we finished off the conversation, "I'll send you the Wokingham interiors", meaning, i'll send you the photographs of the inside of Wokingham offices, and we both looked at one another and smiled.."great name for a punk band!" I'll get me coat! |

I agree, it's hysteria much like the avian flu hype a couple years back. |
