I saw, I giggled and, fortunately, I wasn’t eating. Thank you.

I suppose your friend is lucky that the waitress mentioned that the cheese balls were to be cooked alongside meat products. If she hadn’t mentioned it…

As a tea drinking carnivore who loves pancakes, this place sounds right up my street.

Which, sadly, it isn’t.

Totally with you on that one, Sally. If only this particular strand of flu had appeared a few months earlier, it would have been incorporated in the regular seasonal flu, and we wouldn’t hear any of this “non-thoroughly tested” argument.

[...] Some of the food was lovely; other things not so great… The pancakes were huge and tasty; but I don’t think Sh enjoyed her soup very much as she left half of it. (Poor Sh – not the first time, she’s had raw deal in a restaurant!). [...]

Thanks for the advice, guys. I think scanning is the way forward. Maybe I’ll take a week off work to get it done

Seriously though, do pdf files take up less space than Word docs? … previously I have scanned and saved things as Word files and they seem to be huge!

I’m not even sure whether I can save things as pdf’s ….??? I’ll have to do a bit of investigating… perhaps it’s really easy and I just haven’t noticed that option before…

Similarly, I found myself disappearing under a mass of utility bills. Even once paid, I didn’t want to throw them out, just in case. Just in case of what, I don’t know.
So I filed them, but then I quickly ended up with a huge, cumbersome utility bill folder.
So, as Brennig suggests above, I scanned them in. As pdf files they take up very little space. Took ages to start with, but now I keep on top of it as they come in.
At the click of a button, I can tell you how much I paid for gas, water, etc as far back as 2005. A bit anal, I know, but that’s me.
But, as Bren says, back them up… or it’s a waste of time.

Negligible is pretty small. I think I will probably have it.
(BTW – Tamiflu and the jab are not the same thing … Maybe you knew that – sorry if you did and I have misinterpreted your comments!)

I have seen no evidence in any of the BMJ publications, nor in the WHO guidelines, nor the USFDA statements where any independent specialist has been able to categorically state that Tamiflu has completed testing. In fact, on television last week one of the ‘TV’ doctors said it had not completed testing but the risk from the vaccine was, and I quote, negligible.

Well I can make the risk even more negligible. Don’t have it.

What about the seasonal flu jab? A new one comes out every year— they’re certainly not tested for ten years! Isn’t the swine flu jab just a variant on the normal flu jab?
