Actually it is banging on about our hundreds of swine flu parties:

"Parents in Britain have long held "chicken pox parties" at the beginning of summer so that children can catch the disease at a convenient time."

"The British press has reported that discussions about Swine Flu parties first began in earnest on the website mumsnet.com, a web portal for decidedly middle class British mothers (one of the most active forums this week: "Crucial biscuit question - which are posher: Rich Teas or Custard creams?)"

MP: "now that you are an internationally recognised expert on swine flu"

When in fact what I ought to be is an internationally-recognised expert on Custard Creams.

Oooh geordieminx now you're talking - we'll send the address pronto. How many do I have to have personally to give them a fair crack? The whole packet?

SD it was not a "frivolous" thread, as indicated it was crucial. (I could tell you why, but I'd have to shoot you )
