I am just getting over a bout of the flue , working 6 nightshifts in the rain didn't help much :dash1:
is there any value in getting a flue jab?
Have any of you mob had this injection and is it any good?
They reckon the oldies should have them..not sayin ya old mate :mocking:
I use to have them but I don't any more as my immune system is slowly building up again.
Hope you feel better soon, chicken soup and rest :)

I tried Beer and Prawns last night and that didn't work out too well this morning :diablo::laugh2:
I have to go into town today for yet another drug and alcohol test for work, They do the flue jabs at the same place.
I was just wondering if it is worthwhile getting the jab while I am in there.
Too late mate, ya suppose to get them BEFORE winter..your a trick :mocking:
And beer doesn't work mate, ya need that fighting rum..prawns and beer are pretty volatile at the best of times :laugh2:
Yeah I think it's too late for this winter. I had the shot last year about April maybe. My arm was sore for weeks I swore I'd never do that again but looking back I haven't had a sniffle since and it's 16 months later (almost 2 winters).
Looks like I missed the boat this year but I am most certainly going to put up with a sore arm next year :ok:

Your approaching THAT age :angel:
Get the Flu jab + Pneumonia shot (Five year job)
And don't forget a PSA blood test :idea:
None will stop the common cold but well worth it.
:laugh2: what do you mean "approaching"..does the word "methuselah" ring any bells :winkextra:
A nice bowl of beef pho and a bottle of rum does the trick i find.
the international influenza/s hits Oz around August, so it might not be too late
if you are already sick you best talk to a doctor about getting the jab whilst sick
harden up..next you'll have a skirt on..it's man flu baby, so it's gonna be bad :mocking:
I'll just put a spoonful of cement in my coffee and harden the hell up then :ok:
I thougth you already did :) I don't feel so good either :(

If everyone gave up smoking and drinking the Thieves in Canberra would instantly raise the Tax rates to cover the huge loss in revenue that they receive from us smokers and drunks :diablo::ok:

Nooooooooooo....Don't do that. Seriously, the movie is total
crap. Really, really awful.
Watch the TV series instead. The epitomy of awesomeness.
Or.. read the books. But I would start with the TV series. I might even have it lying around someplace if you can't find it online.
Ok, no movie..it's funny how some shows should never be made into a movie. I think it's something about trying to jam to much in in a short time :)
maybe if I doubled my meds it might be really good :mocking:

No, it was just a matter of letting the damn yanks get anywhere near the project. Made a complete ballsup of it, as usual. Just like the Dr Who movie, and countless other americanisations of "foreign" awesomeness.
About the only good thing in the movie was the original Marvin's cameo appearance in the background for about 3 seconds.
mate do I hear ya..so many things and the yanks only think they're funny, most wouldn't know comedy if it bit them on the arse..that is fast becoming a pet hate of mine..and they've even done it with some of our shows, very sad

AJ, back on your Ben Elton comment, I had the pleasure of seeing him and Rick Mayall (separately) at the Enmore Theatre in Newtown back in the 1980's (when The Young Ones was on). Ben Elton was on stage for about 2 and a half hours and didn't stop once. It was a brilliant show.
An Aussie who was on par I think was Clive James. Saw him live in Canberra in the late early 90's. Hilarious!

I'm trying to picture him doing standup. Never thought of him that way, somehow...
Speaking of which.... Would any of you Melbournites be interested in going to the Comics Lounge in North Melbourne? I occasionally get offered tickets, which I've used for various clubs I'm in. I reckon it could be a good night out. We could even take some bags of coins to noodle before the show.. :)
I don't know about "stand up comedy" but Clive James has a memory like a steel trap and is SOOOOO quick on his reply's.
Ya gotta love it :yahoo:
Rick Mayall is simply a seriously funny bugger naturally :ok:
The Lurgy struck me down and I had 2 days off work -only back today because
of the antibiotics.Had to do my Noble's bidding lying on the couch at home so I'd have
to be pretty sick to miss that one
oh so that's why..sorry mate but hope ya better soon..hit the rum :)
I'm feeling a bit better today and I made the HUGE mistake of telling Mrs trout so.
As a consequence of the I have been digging the garden and mowing the Lawn (about 3/4 acres of it) most of the day :dash1:
Ah well the lawn looks great and the pumpkins, water melon and rock melon are in the ground and ready (when they are) to grow :yahoo:
Do you want to come and do my grass, lawns and planting as a post exercise activity?

That's an awesome idea.. get him to turn your front yard into a melon patch. I'll volunteer to come and help you eat them when they're ripe. :)

I have been away -and disinclined to pay 75¢/minute for poor internet access- so have missed this interesting discussion.
Some observations;
•A tropical island cruise is an effective way to shake the lurgy. But much more expensive than the jab.
•Don't order a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster on a P&O ship. You may be summarily ejected from the premises (can you swim?). However a large range of alternatives is available for most carbon based life forms.
And some questions;
•What food is the best match for a PGGB?
•Is it OK to offer a PGGB to the Dish of the Day at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe? Or, is that considered bad form?
QuoteThere is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

A PGGB goes best with Chicken... but only after you get out of the recovery ward, never before.
It may or may not be considered bad form by the Dish of the Day... best to ask when you meet the meat.
I woke up this morning with a snivelling nose and a bit of a bark. Making the most of it and organising my collection. I havent put a single purchase into an album for over 2 months and have just sorted over 200 that need to be heat sealed and labelled. Whilst its a bit of fun its still one hell of a chore at times.

That is their standard rate but they do have some package deals (don't actually seem to be much cheaper).
10 minutes internet or another drink is the exchange rate. No brainer; I will take the cocktail thanks. {Drinks are mostly reasonably priced -no excise outside territorial limits.}
I always thought "P&O" stood for "Pacific and Orient" but was recently (on board by a fellow passenger) informed it is now "Profit and Opportunity"!
Donate some to each forum member Fulvio. That should make some space for you and make some mates velly happy.

LIKE the way you think, boyo!
Sturdier too, so it doesn't collapse under the weight. ;)
Actually, I was doing some daydreaming a while back, and imagined a work desk with spring-loaded holders built into it. Sort of like those coin holders cabbies use. You would just park coins on the appropriate spot for that particular error or year, and the weight would push the stack down, keeping them neatly out of the way.
Yeah, I know, impractical. But like I said, I was daydreaming... ;)
But to get a bigger desk, Fulvio will need a bigger house. :dodgy:
To get a bigger house he needs the money. :idea:
To get the money he has to cash in his coins. :angel:

I think we are all looking forward to some warmer weather, I know we need the rain, but as I get older I realize I am definitely "Solar Powered." :angel:
Be careful what you ask for. It's in the 90s (F) during the days here.-John
Summer time in Adelaide averages about 90F. We also average about 5 or 6 days a year with temps. well over 100F. Had a couple last year that hit 45C.! I find it easier to cool down than warm up.!!
Its funny, but people think Qld is hot... We had 48° here in Melbourne... don't think that happens up there, does it?
gets warm here sometimes and I'm with you Robster "Solar Powered." That's funny ;)
