Damn that virus is a right sunuva isn't it? Proof that it is amongst our wild bird population though many have expected such for a while now.

Aye...and I bet it will do quite well given our milder winters.

For Gods sake, don't tell GW :lol:

LOL!

Either you pretend you don't care (and keep a sneaky eye open......well done you) or I'm 'sensitising' some folk (well done me!!!).

We never got a definative source from the 'Turkey saga' and ,seeing as their units were by a wetlands, you have to wonder.....

It would be an awful shame if poor farming practices were bringing the horrid thing to our shores and not migrant birds.

Ho Hum, lets keep our 'news eye' open and see if there is more to come.

The 'Chinese two' seem to have been limited human2Human the Chinese news agency said today..........now do I trust them????

The 'Voodoo folk' had their special day earlier in the week spraying chicken blood on all and sundry.........they say their gods will protect them............

And it would be an awful shame if we got hit by a meteor before H-thingy could kill us. I mean, all that worrying for nothing; how annoying.

Number 95 in Idonesia, that's 95 out of 118......their batting average keeps rising. They have another teen girl on a respirator too.

India has seen 20,000 chickens die in Kolkata triggering fears of an outbreak of H5N1 there (remember the human2human over the border before chrimbo?).

WHO says we are in the most dangerous period of the year for cold/flu transmission.

I am more likely to die crossing the road than getting killed by a runny-nosed swan.

All I can say blackdown...is that we are all going to die one day. That is of course no excuse to just be hedonistic and not care about things; because our children have to inherit our world. We just have to accept that death is inevitable.

Like sex and taxes I suppose.
