    the bacteria do build a resistance to antibiotics. The ones that don’t get wiped out get stronger and resist the effects of the antibiotic. They adapt in other words. Clever wee things bacteria.

    They have saved many lives, my daughter’s too. All I am saying is that if we misuse them, they will not be any use to us in the future. Also, we need to think about alternatives.

    Apparently there is a new kind of way of treating viruses and bacteria, using a gel you shove up yer konk. It is in development now and will be another way to keep the nasties at bay.

    Not smug pronouncements. A realist being real.

    chinese medicine has been around for 4,000 years, whereas western medicine is relatively new, particularly penicillin and antibiotics.

    Taking a course of tablets that make you well in a week or ten days seemed very like magic. Chinese medicine apparently takes longer to work, but readjusts the whole body. Acupuncture is now being prescribed on the NHS for some things though. I think we are going to have to look at alternatives as bugs get more resistent to all our potions and pills.

    The human body is a marvellous bit of kit. It is worth taking care of.

    A mile is nothing. Get scooters if you don’t want to walk it, good fun for all the family.

    I think its a good idea. It seems to be fairly successfel at attracting people into areas that have such a difficult time getting positions filled in the key professions. The other idea would be for the government to just pay teachers, nurses, policemen and firemen more money! Now there is an interesting concept.
