    Back on topic…… corporal punishment seems to be used here in a very loose way if the final part of the article says it was physical torture that killed the poor lad.

    If the world turns into Lulu, it won’t be such a bad place for its age.

    As for bananas, I am banned from the majority of supermarkets here for buying up all their bananas. I am now reduced to begging on street corners, and am having to fight for pitches with big tissue sellers. I therefore can’t ask them for spare 2 ply. As all my hamsters have taken up residence in PB’s home and have all decided to call themselves Gwen and dress up as mice, and you won’t lend me a few pages of the Koran, I guess I’ll have to swallow my home pride instead and use the Financial Times.

    I don’t think it had anything to do with religion really. There are some sad twisted sadists out there.

    I just ran out of hamsters, lend me a couple of pages, I promise to wash them and give them back 8)

    this is her 1st litter so opefully she will have em in kitten box i have ready. :roll:

    No chance Pats, she will have them wherever she feels safe and relaxed. So .. wardrobe, linen basket, your bed. Just be prepared to spread out some old towels etc. You can’t really move them once they get going.

    One of our cats had half the litter in one place, then carried all the babies somewhere else and had the rest there. Two lots of washing then! That was most likely our fault for being a little bit too interested.

    I particularly like the cat I have now. It just sleeps all the time and purrs quietly when turned on.

    That sounds very unpleasant. Hope it isn’t for too much longer.

    We almost crossed sword then.

    Keep taking the pills Esme. And I shall keep on smiling.

    And I love the little rabbit emoticon.

    Oh, and I know you’ve been poorly, and I trust you are starting to feel a little better.
    And no, that wasn’t sarcasm.

    I read my way through every topic on Current Affairs, and given my situation, a topic with the heading ‘Antibiotic Timebomb’ had to be investigated. But not over three – no – we’re into four – pages of repetitive postulating.
    Message recieved – antibiotics are shyte and we’d do well to suck on a rabbit’s gonads instead. I’m sure you’ll understand if I carry on taking these ‘timebomb’ drug treatments in preference, as i’m rather fond of living.

    If that is your summarising of this whole thread, you obviously haven’t understood what was being said have you.

    Nobody said that antibiotics were shyte, and what you considered repetitive postulating was in fact a discussion.

    You can carry on sucking anything you please, its a free country as far as I know. As for anyone saying that we shouldn’t take antibiotics, where does it say that? All I am saying is that we may not be able to take them forever, and what will we do instead?

    Fast… stop moaning and go for a jog in the canal.

    Who made you read it?

    They were already resistent because they had developed a resistence previously, probably due to “broad spectrum” attack.

    We are talking a chicken and egg scenario, because it is highly likely that some bacteria would develop resistence without having been in contact with an antibiotic, but how would anyone now know. You would have to go back to pre-antibiotic/penicillin times to find that out.

    #332194

    Different antibiotics use different methods to destroy bacteria. Some prevent them multiplying, some mutate the cell structure etc etc. Any bacteria left behind during the “massacre” will become resistent in the future to that kind of antibiotic. Another kind of antibiotic will then be required to get rid using a different technique.

    Whichever way you want to split the hair, it still ends up in twain.
