Just heard that bird flu has reached the uk:
"Preliminary tests have confirmed the H5 avian flu virus in a sample from a swan found dead in Fife, health officials have revealed.
The exact virus strain is not known, but tests were continuing and further results were expected on Thursday."
Are others worried about bird flu or do you recon it has been hyped up by the media? I must admit I think that even if it doesnt happen this time a flu epidemic will occur at some point in the near future. Which is quite a worrying thought.

Spit on the floor?

yeah spitting is a horrible habit. only time it is ever acceptable is if you are doing sport cos when you get bloacked up you have to. but the chavs who walk round town spitting cos they think they look hard
sometimes i think it is people not birds that we should cull!

The way i see it sooner or later we are all gonna die,one of the definite things in life...so why worry about epidemics and such,live each day as it comes.
Posted by WelshTom
i accept i will die someday but i sure as hell dont want that 'some day' to be anytime soon! that's why these things are worrying. I mean i don't lie awake at night unable to sleep because of it or anything lol! But yeah i got plans and stuff i want to do see and i dont want no bird stopping me from doing them lol!
To be honest i do think that this has been hyped out of all proportion by the media. I think as long as you dont live with birds, eat there poo, or shag them then you are most likely to be safe.

lol its in Fife, and nobody understands a bloody word they say anyway so they'll be no great loss. Fife is just above Edinburgh, across the Forth Road bridge, so hopefully it will wipe out all of those pretend Scots over there. I hate east coasters, with their book clubs and scarves and phoney accents. I'm an Ayrshire lad!

Weren't bird flu found in norfolk a many moons ago?
Posted by fatreg
i see it was H5N1 or whatever its called,
excellent, an pandemic on the about
time to whack out pandemoioum on the original playstation before i die, needs to be done.
other than that, i need one last meal of bangers and mash and i could die quite happily knowing my life was fulfilled.
