Also – in the future when antibiotics stop working, doctors will prescribe internet lolz.

Glad you noticed. I had exactly the same reaction.

So.....off I go to check out Hilary.......what makes me think I am in for a yelling-at-the-screen session.

i wish to interrupt this friday blog to present you this:

Yes, but have Palin's?

It's the damn straw in them chickens off the heath that get stuck in your craw.

PS. Check the styles at the end of that video. 1983. What were we thinking?

Oh FFS... can we please call moral panic/slut-shaming bullshit on this? I know the HeraldFail and ComPost never quite got over the passage of the Prostitution Reform Act, but Calvert has a financial interest in a brothel. Her eyes were...?

I love it when cats stretch and arrange their limbs in the "that's not right, but is awfully impressive" way they do.

Saw this for the first time today. It seems apposite. Also full of gender-confused drawings. And bad cow puns.

Immunisations often cause fever. MoH tips following immunisation. Condolences Russell.

And the nurse only told me there might be a unpleasant reaction after the shot. Between a bigger dose of a different antibiotic and the jab, I was feeling pretty munted even before I went to bed that night.

Still,?

350g of holy-fck-the-chef-poisoned-me.

you been into the good stuff beforehand?

Of course getting tetanus would be worse. I've seen it in babies and it's not nice.

Calvert?s statement ? delivered as if it were known fact ? was wrong in basically every way it could be wrong.

– It?s battery hens that get the antibiotics ? not only to prevent disease, but as a growth promoter.

– NZ FREPA guidelines?

Oddly, that song came up on my ipod* today while I was driving home. Great stuff, and vastly preferable to Wham imho

*insert non-apple mp3 player of your choice.

Vastly superior to a whole hoard of music I could think of. But still like a bit of Wham, in the right circumstances. And yes, those circumstances do exist. IMhO.

Naturopaths reckon the MoH doesn't say enough about the ill-effects of immunisation.

And from the link to the Naturopaths media release:

The NZSN are disturbed by the plan to issue all children with a certificate of vaccination on entering school.

Just after my first swimming lesson in Primer 1, I?

Ignore the URL on the end, it's irrelevant now (actually I just reregistered it and am open to suggestions as to what should live there) — but I wrote every single one of those 1.5m high letters with that flax stick myself, and by crikey it felt *good*.

I don?t ever recall dreaming of?

Fresh grapes, first time in 20 years I'd thrown up :(

Cherries stored in a bag previously used for meet, as we later found out. We were travelling at the time. Prague was nice, but there is a dark side I didn't expect to see.

I believe that would be Colin's specialty.

i remember almost passing out trying to get from the bathroom to the kitchen sink for a glass of water.

had been staying with a mate, and when his flatmates got up (this had kicked off at about 2am) their only comment was "poooo!!!?

Whoa! Looks great. Must have taken a while!

My assumption, watching the programme at the time, was that she was so gob-smacked and/or overwhelmed by a descending red (green?) mist that she was unable to respond?

Amazing how a good going fever makes you feel icey cold. Don't remember having vivid dreams unfortunately. Previously I hadn't really appreicated?

Yes, I went years without boosters and 'flu shots when I was ill because my immune system was in overdrive – the doctor wasn't willing to take the risk of me getting way sicker (or alternatively, the vaccination?

Fancy some cola?

ETA: I feel your pain – flu last week, sweats, chills, the works. The flu shot, it did nothing!

The slightly depressing truth about vaccinations is that they work on a population basis, not necessarily on any one individual. It's the same with pharmaceuticals: a particular drug may be said to "work" if it saves the life of one in a hundred people?

Aw c'mon, I still find it pretty funny to think of all those punters looking out at the alluring come hither eyes of one of our elected representatives when they go for their payday roll in the hay.

Re freaky dreams:?

Well, yes. She's offered her own image for use in a large?

Yeah, surely they have a town water supply there? Why does the place have storage tanks? Is the water coming off the roof? If so, I'd always boil it, no matter what, these days (despite having gone at?

In the UK often rainwater is recycled with your grey waste water, (showers, bath hand basins) and is stored for reuse in the black waste system (WCs), the grey waste storage tanks should have a?
