    Free? No way, there has to be a catch in it somewhere. Did they check your Urine & solids?

    Often wonder when I donate blood if they will ever call me as say what the heck!

    Random is questionable at the airport explosive test. I think I have been checked every single time I fly. My beautiful head must do it

    Rolled up to the Branch where they were doing it and got a free drug and alcohol test too, as the random testers just happened to be there at the same time - amazing coincidence considering they knew the entire Sales team were dropping by that branch that very morning. What you need to know about the coming flu season.

    Didn’t bother me and I passed with flying colours, but makes you wonder how ‘Random’ it really is.
    Our youngest son is drug and alcohol tested every single day when he arrives at work, and he works in an office in the city!

    Well Mick, they can't take chances with budding Supermen. They could get themselves in all sorts of troubles like trying to leap tall buildings in one leap, & imagine going faster than a speeding bullet in the city. It doesn't bear thinking about, all the chaos he could cause getting up to those antics & as for being more powerful than a speeding locomotive., the cops would have a field day with your lad knocking over Fruit Barrows & Newstands & gettting in the way of the Fire Services & Ambos.

    Actually the real reason is if he gets drunk and does the wrong thing on his screen he could cause one of Origin's gas wells to fail out near Roma, possibly with nasty consequences, such as going 'Bang!'.

    A Doctor responds.

    A tricky one this.

    Hhhhmmmmmmmmm, then it sounds like he really really really needs some help from Capt.Marvel, Superwoman & Superman as mentioned, Barney Flintstone & even Felix the Cat & probably his Dad.

    I also would take his I-Pad & booze supplies away from his bedroom for a couple of weeks just to be on the safe side.

    Hope this helps.

    "She'll be right mate". The flu has always been around. The media is just jumping on the gloom and doom band wagon. I work for one of the largest pathology companies in Australia. I had someone jumping up and down telling me how this is the worst flu season ever. The flus are worse than ever .... We have been instructed to never cough into our hands... or touch door handles ... make sure you cough into your elbow etc.... If your sick make sure you stay at home ( I offered to stay at home every day if it helped them feel safe .... I was ignored )

    My rolling of eyes and groaning didn't go down well as they handed out bottles of anti-bacterial hand sanitizers to everyone. I promptly chucked mine in the bin. "Yeah, I"m not using that ****.... My hands will be a mess of contact dermatitis within a week if I start rubbing those chemicals into them... This isn't a hospital we work in you know".

    So I was shown how "Horific and world ending" the stats are for the increase in flu found ( We are a pathology lab, we can prove this 100% accurately ). Obviously my answer to this was "Has the number of people being tested for the poor old flu increased by a similar percentage to the "increase in flu" ............. At which point no-one really wanted to talk to me.

    Yes the flu is bad. I'm pretty sure it always has been and no media hype and bull**** statisics are going to convince me the world is ending

    Look at it this way. 5years ago they probably never even bothered to test for the flu. However lets say we test double the amount of people tested for flu each year. GUESS WHAT !!! WE WILL PROBABLY FIND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH THE FLU IS DOUBLING EVERY YEAR ...... Wow ..... Who would have thought that if you test twice as many people, you will probably find twice as many that actually do have the flu
