    I listened to a phone in and people were ringing in and saying they were even making up the symptoms, just to get some tamiflu, in case they might need it at some point in the future and they've been given it. I know they're handing it out here as well if you've got 3 of the symptoms regardless of any underlying health problems.

    And I agree, as said in my OP - I blame the media too!

    Totally, I mean its not as bad as made out but my work called me, Ive been off for a few months as I had pressure in my brain but was gonna go back next week and the HR manager called me just to see if I had actually been diagnosed and what had happened as he obv knew I was already off so had no reason to lie but I think people in my work (a big blue box with big yellow name& swedish) have been lying to get time off!!! Thats terrible.

    Anyhoooos back to MS'ing, I have received an e-mail offering me a book called mysteryshopper uk guide, say it gives you 200 contacts, money back guarantee if you dont get 20 jobs, has anyone seen or bought this?? think it could be a scam but not sure its down to £9.99 from £39.99.... You see Im a sucker for some things!!!

    Why do I never see phone calls on RE? Is there some setting that I should have and haven't got do you think?

    So long as you're logged in, the link works anyway, but here it is in text, replace hxxp with http (and make sure there aren't any spaces):

    I don't see the TNS DIY shops :(


    I could not see them earlier, but now can see two, sadly not local to me.

    Since TNS have got rid of the AMs they seem to be sending out more "begging" emails trying to cover jobs.
    Happy New Year :beer:

    Dont waste your money Drea - Ive pm'd the link to you for a list of 200 - free of charge of course!
    I dont believe there are 200 for us, a huge amount of the companies listed are in the US.
    And no - I didnt pay for the list - just happened across it in case anyone should think I fell for the scam !!
    Anyone else want it - just ask - Anna x
    I'm wondering why a round pizza comes in a square box - :rolleyes:

    Apologies! I didn't mean you!! And wasn't judging you, I just simply don't understand the panic from the majority of people who don't have underlying symptoms! Sorry, if you thought I was having a go at you in particular and realise that's how it might have looked with hindsight.


    Apology accepted
    I am rather touchy on the subject I dont like the idea that people are making up symptoms to get drugs they dont need anymore than you do

    I have lost a weeks wages as I am self employed,husband made redundant so only JSA coming in,going to miss daughters 21st,had to cancel a job interview & a hosp appt :confused:

    Hope there are lots more MS jobs around in a week or so to make up for it

    :rolleyes:
    "Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes." :cool:


    All truth goes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Then, it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident.
