The Official Nonsense Thread

[Minty]

Hope you're feeling better this morning. I think the start of watery window season has everyone getting more colds and flus than normal & everyone keeps reinfecting one another. That & the fact so many up here live off eating microwaved poo & think Vitamin C are a new boy band.

I see the newspapers up here are starting up a panic because false widow spiders have been spotted (which have been living in the UK for nigh on 200 years). As one uni prof said, there's more people that die annually from an allergic reaction to wasp stings than are so much as bitten by false widows, let alone have a bad reaction to a bite from one, but don't let it get in the way of newspaper hysteria so every house spider in the country gets mistaken for one.
