    If you can't have valium, then bug them to give you something you can take - there ought to be something, even if it's hypnotherapy!

    Well, it's up to you, mate. But I don't think suffering in silence works as well as suffering with lots of complaints. The doctors can't really do much about your suffering if they don't know about it. And they are more likely to do something about it if it will relieve their own suffering. If you see what I mean.:D

    Plus, suffering isn't a competition. Just because everyone's worse off than you doesn't mean your toothache doesn't hurt, and doesn't mean the doctors job isn't to stop it hurting.

    15,000 people in a universe of a billion devices just isn't something to worry about. There's hundreds of threats that arise every day. That's something to worry about :)

    But you can't do anything much about it except take sensible precautions.

    Interesting, I had heard that it was 15,000 in the UK.

    The chances of me having it were always minute, but I can't afford to be locked out of my PC by a bunch of scammers. I am always running antivirus and anti malware/spyware stuff, but even if the chances are small, better safe than sorry.

    At least it is windows only, so no need to check anything else.

    I wish! Though I'd be wondering what went wrong if I was home in time for Newsnight! Taken out as in I didn't eat alone or pay (work). Nice evening, second time I've been out with 3 guys (not all same guys)... who I really get on with (wouldn't bet on reciprocation), but were all married (or 1 in a serious relationship).

    Excitement over :) Sorry.
    Phew!:D

    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    I know what you mean. I was told there'd be a psych person there today to get me through it and there wasn't. What happened? I got through it.

    TBH it isn't that bad really. We'll see how I am when the side effects kick in after a fortnight but for now I'll just rely on myself.
