:erm: you might want to rethink that offer..... ;)

Well if it all does go a bit 28 days later then there is a good chance either Pierre or the person taking on the bet will be dead and he won't have to pay out. :)

Nah, I'm confident.

I've got it in treble with SARS and Bird flu, for three giant worldwide needless panics spread by misinformation and sensationalist media.

What odds are you offering because I am quite tempted :D May be unlikely but if your offering 1/1000+ then yould have to be an idiot not to take em odds! P

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

I partly agree I don't think it's misinformation, more over-information and sensationaslist reporting by the media. With the first death outside of Mexico, the 23month baby in Texas (which borders with Mexico) I think we're all concerned at some level, but I feel many of the news agencies are taking it to the extreme and scarying the crap out of us!!! :(

Sayign that if the media just reported the official facts, no-one would watch the news cause it'd be boring! I tuned into Fox news last night and cor-blimey, they are sensational alright! By the time I stopped watching Fox news I believed we were on the edge of a 28days later scenario!!!

I'm supposed to be flying to Boston, US, on the 9th May, I'm tbh quite worried about doing so :(

Isn't it fortunate that all these world-ruling evil masterminds are really, really crap at it.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Not many!!! :D

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

I wouldn't be. Sitting here in the UK you're already in closer proximity to two victims than you will be in Boston.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

If it was them that's done it. they are hardly likely to do it all in one big go. they will want it to become a worldwide fear and it's a kind of flu type virus, then they will let it rip :)

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

Well, there you go, you've blown their conspiracy wide open. I'd apply for MI6 if I were you, it'll be a shoo-in. They probably won't even make you sit the entrance exam.

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

You know I'm right Chris. that's what you're afraid of :)

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

I'm not afraid of anything. ;)

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

:rofl:

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

I LOL'd, does that make me a bad person? :D

Re: Pandemic Flu - This one could be for real......
 

If it does, I am also a very bad person......;)
