swine flu madness on bus!

Just got a bus into university and a woman got on and started opening all the windows - it is cold and raining. When she saw me looking at her she started muttering about 'mexican flu'!

Am I being too laid back about this whole thing or are people going a bit mad? I mean a bus in Merseyside is not really a major swine flu danger zone is it?

There was a bloke on the news this morning advising everyone to take anti-bacterial wipes onto buses with them so they can wipe everything down before touching it.

FFS, madness.

I should be worried about this stuffy uni library with grubby keyboard then shouldn't I!?

As for my name well it is kind of from School of Rock in a second-hand way. We used to call DS2 Schneebly as a nickname when he was a baby and I couldn't remember where it had come from but it was because we had seen the film around that time and it had stuck in my head. So named after DS2's nickname really which was stolen from School of Rock

and what good is opening a windon going to do. if germs just blew away then surely the advice would be everyone just stand outside and all our germs will blow away!

I know Nancy - and she looked at me as if I was mad for being unconcerned!

Just get a gun holster and in place of a gun put a bottle of dettol, spray anyone who sneezes in the face. Job done.
