So tempted..
But if I say ym, you might slap me. And I know someone who definately will.

Hope it sorts it out for you VC and it's not the Red Dwarf space mumps that can only be sorted out with a pin.

damn right I'll slap you if you say that!
I hope it does too - I can't afford to be sick when wisdom teeth extraction time swings around - they won't do it otherwise.

What?
You mean if you're ill, they won't get the tractor out for you? I thought that's how they did it down your end?

nah they don't.
we have sterile environments. Tractors aren't sterile.
chainsaws are though

Is that they are sterile
Or they can make people sterile?

Both I guess,
depends on how you use them.

I would imagine (but am too lazy to google it)
...that GPs in Oz have all been instructed to ask the question as a matter of course hence the somewhat daftish question.

On the other hand, if you buy some pork sausages or a pork chop at the shops and it's 50% pork, 50% oseltamivir (Tamiflu)? May day.

Also: from a symptomatic point of view, you might find benefit to be had from taking a couple of paracetomol (assuming no sensitivity?) to ease the symptoms of runny nose, sore throat etc.

EDIT: finally - apple strudel ftw
