[itsme]

The H5N1 virus does not currently pose a large-scale threat to humans as it cannot pass easily between people.

Its incase a human with the flu gets it, then the two strains might combine to form a really really really bad flu that can't easily be stopped.

Well lets see in British Farming we have had to much wheat in the 80's, salmonella in eggs & poultry in the 90's, BSE/CJD in Cattle, Foot & Mouth in Sheep, TB supposedly in Badgers, and now the H5N1 Strain of bird flu.

You do however need a sense of humour if you have have or are in British Farming and seen the way some of these disasters have been handled by MAFF/DEFRA.


No offence taken about me being nuts, my humour is a bit strange, but then wants normal?

I see chickens have come down in price at Tesco's ... £2.95, buy one get one free ... may pop up there tomorrow and stock up. Last time there was an epidemic on our farm animals they burnt them ... and we never got invited to the barbe.

I like roast chicken.

I still can't eat bbq lamb without thinking of the big bonfires that came along with foot & mouth. DEFRA could have given them all a one-shot-wonder instead of slaughtering them
Good to see Muckshifter you have an eye for a bargain
