Provided you don't walk in barefeet on John's flash floors, and don't breathe pollen, you should be OK.

*LOL* But breathing NO pollen is almost impossible during spring/summer!
At the moment I'm hiding in my flat because it's nice weather outside, sunny and VERY windy. :-(
Lovely greetings, Cori

Dropping in after being thrown off the XBox for 'playing crap' and not shooting the right people. I killed a lot of walls.

Don't let those walls mess around, they might get you.

Hi everyone :)

Jolly cold here in UK. Cloudy and raining on and off. Saves me struggling into garden with lots of buckets of water to feed plants. Cats are not so keen on this weather though.

Just watching the news, it does seem that we are supposed to be in a state of perpetual fear.


  • Pakistan 'Cruicible of Terror' (OMG! OMG!..we're all gonna be killed by terrorists OMG!)
  • Swine flu (OMG! OMG! we're gonna die! We're gonna die!!)
  • Recession (ARRRRGH..we're all gonna lose our jobs and DIE!)
  • Terrorists are going to hack the olympics (OMG! OMG! The computers are gonna DIE!)



Does anyone else get tired of the hysteria?

Constantly. It doesn't matter what newspaper you read or which TV channel you watch, or even which radio channel you listen to. The whole lot are driven by commercial considerations, and not by providing a service to the public.

The more the dramatics, the more they hope people will view or listen or hear the adverts which pay their way. As far as I'm concerned the international media circus should be put under some sort of state control, but with freedom of reporting.

They all only focus on the 'bad' news thinking that is what people want. Instead the news should be balanced, good and bad.

Unfortunately that is not likely to happen, especially in the main TV media where their brownie points come from estimates of watching audiences.

I gave up TV a long while back, and only do The Metro as a paper and that doesnt have any news in it. I listen to the news on Radio4 and they never speak in block capitals or have mentioned Crucibles of Terror. I probably ended up on Radio4 as an escape from all the type of crud you mentioned.
