Last horse I shared Guinness with (Seth, my young fencing pack-horse [welsh pony/quarter horse cross]) developed a taste for it and became a problem after work! Stroppy young shyster of a horse.

I eventually had to switch to high-quality single-malt. Seth refused to imbibe after that, but the rooster loved a dipped crust or two.

I prefer to concentrate on the living, thank you. All the best.

Bet the hens loved him. I guess that proves the old saying , in uncertain times, hit the top shelf. [ well, not really an old saying, I just made it up]

If you get desperate, Bob, I can always float a few bottles down the Nth Pine.

Inc I get what you are saying but from a statistical viewpoint there is no mortality rate from the disease, actual nor predicted at anything like 6% or more. I think we are not necessarily disagreeing about the stats, just what it all really means.

Other way around Bob, after a couple of crusts, he really loved his hens... it was his hangover you had to watch though. You knew his favorites in a hangover.

My take on numbers currently being touted is that the important one at the moment is the trend of the newly declared cases. Exponentiation is a kicker.

it's there in black and white, it means exactly what it shows... i cannot see how it could be misconstrued any other way myself...

whether or not they want to talk about it / view it from that perspective, is a whole different thing.

IMHO
