So sorry -- thank you for lovely song and ukelele solo! We took a family holiday during which, I am pleased to report, I was the only member not to be stricken by one stomach virus or another. On the other hand, as the only healthy person, I spent the time on nursing duties and am now delighted to be back at work where I can unwind and relax a bit.

Reports that watching George Formby impressions can protect you from stomach viruses have been condemned by Government Health officials. "This dangerous attitude towards public health cannot be allowed to continue" stormed their spokesman, before adding "nor is there any scientific proof that garlic protects you from vampires." We await the full Government report.

Was the accompaniment by Vincent Ban Jo?


As an ex public servant covered by the Officiasl Secrets Act which precludes me from advising you that I am bound by the Official Secrets Act I can reliably suggest that the warnings from the Government are the source of the hazard.

By issuing warnings about possible hazards the government of the day deflects attention from the real dangers to the community - things like creeping religious intolerance, the AFL, greatest loser, etc.

I just had my swine flu shot along with my normal frotnightly injection.

I am now wondering if i am to be the incubator for virus with enhanced aggression as the other shot is mostly testosterone analogue.

Can anyone explain the increasing desire I have to eat raw cabbage leaves and go 'Oink"?

Frotnightly injection eh? (wiggles eyebrows)

Just don't get friction burn.

A fraught nightly injection might occasion even more wiggly eyebrows.

Thank heavens he's covered by the Official Secrets Act so we can't actually see anything.

That I am indeed grateful for. Imagination, however is almost as bad.

Mine has been removed following this thread.....

Worries that MartinB's imagination is now wandering about un-housed.

It has a home, I just disinherited it.

Is mental disinheritance the same as having one's imagination fired?

Well, not really. That would require a large bucket of cold water, an electrode and a bushel of lab mice on acid.

Hi there. New to the board officially. Seeing as I'm Martin's imagination I thought it would be impolite to not introduce myself properly and since I was forcibly evicted there would be no sweeter revenge than just reappearing to pester him.

Oh gods....

For the record, that is not me. It really is another person.

~catches juggling balls, performs "badger balls", adds another 2 and lobs them right back~

How can you be sure I'm not you. Then again how can you be sure that robert or Kitten aren't you too?

Because you are sitting next to me? (That, and I doubt that I have gone *that* far off into the deep end yet. Although you just wait 'enry 'iggins....)

This is as interesting as that I dream I had a year and a half ago of meeting you all as people/living words!

Possibly welcome, switchbadger. We already have too many martins here, so one more should not seriously overtip the disdainometer! Help yourself to pie.

~takes pie with an "S" on the left~

Well the Martin levels are tipping the disdainometer but what would an extra Adrian do to it?
