This OUGHT to keep you awake...
Duh! With all this stuff about public health care coming up for an airing, here's a dose of real British health care....
Outside the doctors surgery;-
Dear patient,
DO NOT enter this surgery if you think you have the symptoms of Swine Flu.
Instead phone this number .....or contact-www. etc etc
Outside the Pharmacy;-
Dear Client,
DO NOT enter this parmacy if you think you have Swine Flu!
Please ring this number........
Er actually, my pet rat has not been so well, and he has a lot of fleas, and I've noticed this swelling in my groin, sooooo, thats not swine flu right? Okay. I'll come in.

Inducements

Ogden Nash put it so well, keep it for your kids or Grandkids....

Sweet Dreams
I wonder as into bed I creep
What it feels like to fall sleep.
I've told myself stories,I've counted sheep,
But I'm always asleep when I fall asleep.
Tonight my eyes I will open keep,
And I'll stay awake til I fall asleep,
Then I'll knowwhat it feels like to fall asleep,
Asleep,
Asleeep,
Asleeeep...

Sleepless in...Singapore,Sao Paolo, or Senekal

Okay, so maybe it is only me, but couldn't we fix up this world while everyone else is sleeping?
There must be millions out there who are also unable to pass out, so lets get some coffee or tea-(okay decaf!) and communicate.
Questions to ponder.
Why is Africa such a basket case?
Are governments really supposed to preempt huge disasters caused by natural occurences, such as this weeks floods and mudslides when ordinary mortals cannot do so?
Why are parents more afraid of state imposed rules than disciplining their own children?
Are there politicians with real integrity?
See, you're nearly ready to go back to sleep! This could work!
