Surfing Waves

Hey all

.. this thread is purely for you all to load sympathy on me or equally take the p###!!!

.. i am currentely dying of every kind of flu known to mankind ...

" anyone else feel this bad this week " ????!!

All dandy here :D

lol.. you coulda said that ya had a slight sniffle just to make me feel better bro ' .. " i got that whole childish thing going on today .... ya know .. the whole ... " no im just gonna sit here and drip snot on the carpet untill someone makes me feel better ... and i hate the world ..type thing going on !!

Is someone bringing you comics in bed? That's important when you're ill

And just to make you feel better - yes, I have a slight sniffle

lolol.. ah man .. you are so right !!! .. " when yer mum brings ya comics and a bar of white choccy aaand a bottle of lucozade !!

wicked man

I have my moments of man flu... :roll:

...lets all not forget ( just incase the girls get in on this !) .. obviously ladies ... " yes im over milking it , no we dont really get ill , yes you cope with it better all hail womankind for being so strong !! ... di i leave anything out

So, on this flu thing....are you guys (& gals) being bombarded with advertising & warnings about pending bird flu stuff? Here we're really getting it, our governments have always been really low-key with this sort of thing, SARS barely got a mention...but bird-flu thing...it's like a pending bubonic plague.

In some ways it'd be kind-of cool for this to actually eventuate, I mean, our modern society is so protected, so nonchalant, so immune (pun) to genuine illness & harm (us western countries anyway) that we abuse antibiotics & other drugs to the point they almost don't work anymore. It'd kind-of be a big "wake up call" to everyone that modern health/welfare is a result of long-term empirical science...and it's a hard-won & fragile thing.

Are any of you making actual preparations? Stocking food? Stashing some cash at home, keeping the car filled with gas, stocking up on surf DVD's. In my position I'd basically be having a forced several weeks off work (oh darn it) and I'd basically spend it surfing, we'd (in this country) have our borders close & that would be it for at least several weeks, no public gatherings, libraries & shops closed, movie theatres shut etc etc....what about you lot?

So far, CheeZee is the first known case

lol i would spend my time surfing

if it does become a pandemic like there predicting, it wont be so bad, i mean if it wipes enough of us out it might even stop us from fleshin' up the planet anymore than we have allready have plus empty line ups what more could you want

because the population of the world is growing uncontrolably, some people think that there will be a natural decrease caused by some panademic or natural hazard, just because there are too many people living in one place............maybe this bird flu is it??? (scary x files music in the background)


And on the flu note.........sinista and cheezee i bet it is just a cold.....that or man flu

pah!
man gets the flu - he just gets on with things.
bird gets the flu and it's all over the papers!!!

nice come back

Johnny: .. lol ..wicked come back there my man

and Jennie : .. not even a tiny bit of sympathy .. not a smidgen .. not even to pass me a dry hankie' ?! ... pah ... its a cold harsh world out there fellas

Hey B'

" yeh i think your right my man .. it wouldnt do the world any harm to have a pandemic wake up call !. Lets us all know that we are not in charge no matter how much money and power there is at hand .
Not to sound like a bible basher cause that really aint my thing baby ( sorry , slipped into Austin powers there ! ) .. but are we not seeing natural disaster after disaster , pestilence and disease ?? .. i think mother earth has just about had enough of us unless some major changes are made .. they will be made and still hopefully by choice not by natures force

.. p.s more importantly than all of this ... my nose has just rather attractively dripped in front of the postal guy ..

my cool persona is shattered before me
