[spoon]

[Davenport]

[spoon]

[Davenport]

Why u chatting about emus bill in detail son? you a bird vet? Are you a fucking bird vet son? I said are you a fucking bird vet?

[Paddy]

prepare to die everybody.

[joe pinapples]

fucking typical the english always try out everything up here 1st - cf Poll Tax, Smoking ban, and now Avian influenza - word to Westminster, stop the nonsense!

[Rhys]

Seal off the border. ;)

Scotland on lockdown.

[joe pinapples]

Watch as half the entire population of Edinburgh goes home in fear.

[gypsy_cream]

is that true?

[Paddy]

is what true, the avian flu thing? yes, it's true.

and jp is probably half right about the edinburgh population thing.

[Sway]

we've the H5N1 bird flu virus in germany (the bad type of it - like in asia)

they found it at a poultry farm and slaughtered about 16.000 birds.
guess it will get worse in spring, when all the birds come back from the south

[joe pinapples]

i@niknak @ gypsy cream - if yer lucky they wont come back.

I have an idea, if all the busking pipers in edinburgh and glasgow can all syncronise pipes at, say, 5.05 exactly [as every one with a job is leaving work] and all attempt to hit the high note of C perhaps all migrating birds will be to fearty to land and the land of Wallace and Bruce will be spared this plague which is going to KILL US ALL.

It must be true that this is serious because it was on the front page of the Daily Mail and they never scaremonger.

[Paddy]

i've been told that if all the pipers in scotland hit a collective b sharp at exactly 4.29 on the summer solstice then all the infected birds will explode, thus wiping out avian flu in it's entirety and the scots saving the human race.

that's what shereen nanjiani said on the news the other day anyway.

[darrell]

They have just found two dead swans in a Glasgow City Council park, so the news broadcaster on the radio was saying

[Davenport]

millions of human lives at risk.

Good luck from Sad sack.

I can just see the 'Wha's like Us' teatowels on the royal mile updated for 2007 - "Folk dinnae ken but we Scots invented - t.v., radio, cars, hats, lego, hot water bottles, AND THE CURE FOR THE KILLER BIRD FLU, gladstone capes, wellies, penicillon, runrig . . ."

[gypsy_cream]

oh ok then

[Yer_Maw]

a nursery schoolin edinburgh didnt give the children chicken for lunch today beacuse of this.

Absolute fucking arsehole idiots.

[Whuffle]

aren't newspapers fantastic! Apparently, they know that the swans died of avian flu, before the people testing them have finished their tests!

[AVX23]

Our Birds have always been infected.

Crap jokes aside, I'm keeping my Cat locked up for the time being, until I've found out exactly what the risk is.

The Evening News or similar had the headline : Lock up your pets today, I'm dead worried.

[Daddys Girl]

where was it in the world that they found a dead cat that was infected with it, or am I just mashing my mind?

[spoon]

they're saying it's in northern ireland now - lots of dead fowl around the place. still nothing here in the republic. highly amusing! i reckon we'll be in the bird flu club in time for the sunday papers.

lol

if you're worried about your cat you could put a bell on it's collar so it won't be able to catch birds?

maybe we should all wear collars with bells so we don't get bird flu

[wheezer]

Bells on collars don't work.

[gypsy_cream]

our cats have always managed to get their bells off somehow..

[Daddys Girl]

do they scratch them off the collar, or just lose the whole thing? got a bell-collar on our cat as we can never find her in the house - so far, she's managed to keep this one on, but she usually gets the whole thing off!

I digress... I'm gonna google for the cat that's meant to have got the lurgies...

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

Our cat always used to come hopping home with one paw trapped in his collar when we put a bell on it.. would have had do the collar up dangerously tight to have stopped him.

Absolute fucking arsehole idiots.

I have stopped using toilet duck :D

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

My lady made a nice Duck Thai Curry last night, I wonder if Sainsburys had a tip off.. the Duck was going 2 for the price of 1...

[darrell]

the Duck was going 2 for the price of 1...

Its just amazing what they are teaching ducks to do these days

[AVX23]

My Cat won't wear a collar likes, so I can't be putting a bell on her, and she comes into contact with plenty of Birds, as my Collection of Feathers will testify.

Wether Cats can catch it or not makes no difference - she could still bring it into the house, we live near an area where there are lots of Birds from all over, so yeah - it is a genuine worry. Anyway - I love my cat to bits, I'm not exposing her to danger without knowing all the facts, so I'm keeping my eye on the situation.

Re: not using toilet duck :) LOL
