Make sure you bin it afterwards...

and wash my hands.

I'm still eagerly awaiting the Government Swine Flu leaflet that has apparently be sent to all of us. Sure there will be much fun to be had with it... paper plane construction, home made mask, makeshift tissue for when you get the snuffles? Who knows... the possibilities are endless...

before the immaturity sets in... Paper planes and the lark... Why not just find some phrases/words etc that are in said leaflet and use what ever way necessary to go "Well... Duh!" or abuse/comment on the phrase.

Once that's done, of course, we all need to make a paper plane out of it, then dive into next door's recycling and do something else (mask, tissue, or even another paper plane) with theirs!

I got my Swine Flu leaflet today. With a free pocket sized pack of Kleenex. I guess the people who are staying home to avoid being in crowded public places won't be benefitting from the ever so helpful information. It says I should keep it in a safe place. Doesn't tell me anything I didn't know though.

"Set up a network of 'flu friends'

Flu friends are neighbours, friends and relatives who can help you if you get ill. For example, they could collect medicines, food and other supplies for you, so that you don't have to leave home if you are ill."

I think it's just trying to say something practical to the paranoid who need reassuring, even though they've got nothing to say. It's just the Government trying to look like they're dealing with it.

[E*F*4L]

I got my Swine Flu leaflet today. With a free pocket sized pack of Kleenex. .

free pocket pack of Kleenex !

oh so that's how my tax money is being wasted then is it ! :x

[Ratscallion]

Don't suppose you've done the activities we've mentioned earlier in the thread, Lucinda? The air-plane stuff etc?

[Lucinda]

Not yet, I'm keeping it to show it to my housemate so he can have a good laugh too. It's quite a long leaflet but doesn't really have much information in it. Much the way I write coursework when it's got to be a set number of pages but I don't know what to say. Was tempted to order some audio tape copies.

I'd recommend buying some shares in Kleenex, maybe in pain killer/cold 'cure' manufacturers also as I reckon people will be stocking up.

[Ratscallion]

Don't know why I haven't got mine yet... When did you get yours? Is there a date when everyone should have them by?

[Rik]

Don't know why I haven't got mine yet... When did you get yours? Is there a date when everyone should have them by?

It was meant to be within 10 days of them first sending them out but I've forgotten when that was.

[Ratscallion]

lol *Chuckles*... Yet gets a little annoyed at the prospect of Richard forgetting when they sent them out!!! (joke)

[Lucinda]

They started distributing them on Tuesday I think.

Didn't get it through the door though. Got it from some women in the Market Square in Nottingham who were giving out tissues for Kleenex and the swine flu leaflets. Was doing quite well as Muller were giving out free yoghurts too.

[KingTutsWWH]

I can give you a brief resume: Put your hand over your mouth when you sneeze, wash it afterwards. Throw your used tissues in the bin. Well thank you Florence Nightingale, neither of these procedures had ever occurred to me before.

Loved the catchy slogan 'Catch it , bin it, kill it.'.

I agree with my mate Zoe off of Twitter who suggested that this tune would fit their crappy slogan rather well:

[Mike]

I still haven't had mine either.

[Lucinda]

The Swine Flu leaflet finally arrived through the door (along with one urging us to vote UKIP).

[Ratscallion]

Finally got mine today! I find it to be very patronising. I know pretty much everything that it has in it, as well as the fact that the masks won't make any impact. What I don't understand is this:

You may have seen masks being handed out to people in different countries. These masks will not prevent you from getting infected

Then why are you handing them out????!!!
