Welsh whisky

There appears to be a story doing the rounds in foreign newspapers and websites that Welsh whisky is a miracle cure for swine flu. Now, even the Welsh would admit that it takes brave person to drink Welsh whisky and it may be responsible for many things but miracle cures aint one of them. It seems this story got started when a Russian sports team was visiting Wales and they were advised to drink whisky as a way of avoiding getting swine flu (you may recall that Wales at one time looked immune to swine flu but has now rapidly caught up). And from this small beginning the internet rumour began. Welsh whisky may not cure you but its taste will almost certainly take your mind off the flu.

So that's how swine flu started

This innocent picture from pre-swine flu days is proving popular on the internet at the moment! I thought I'd share it with you.

It seems more and more people I meet have 'friends of friends' who have "got swine flu". They almost certainly mean they have got "suspected swine flu" since no one is tested for swine flu unless they make it into hospital. And the problem now is that no one has a cold or ordinary flu, everyone has swine flu.

Having said on a previous blog that the Welsh seem impervious to swine flu, new figures released show a quadruple increase in swine flu cases in Wales. I've cancelled my move to Wales as a way of avoiding swine flu.
