I bet Mike Freer wishes he'd shook my hand on Tuesday now !

Couldn't help but snigger when I saw this report - Freer has Swine Flu. Just think, If he'd come up to me and shaken my hand at the Barnet business breakfast, maybe he'd have achieved his long time buddy, Brian Coleman's stated goal and silenced a Barnet Blogger for good.

Anyway Mike, hope you're feeling better, get well soon. I for one don't wish ill health on anyone - it's rather BAD FOR THE KARMA.

The funniest headline of the week

I had to check this story

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8099987.stm

The Headline "Flu risk still low after death" - I suppose that once you are dead, there is no risk at all from flu?

On a serious note, one person has now died from flu in the UK. Very sad, but compare that to the number of elderly who die because of cold weather every year. How many headlines does that get? Thousands die every year and the problem is completely preventable.
