I’ve just missed two days of work and I may miss more because of an illness that has been around probably since the dawn of time, you’d think we’d have figured something out by now! We can go to the moon and wipe out entire continents with a single bomb but we still can’t cure the common cold.

Mind you if this birdflue thing turns out quite as bad as people are suggesting it might then maybe the common cold won’t seem quite so bad anymore.
