And maybe more pertinent why do the doctors hand them out so willy nilly. Madness.
 
Antibiotics are a good cure for willy nilly...apparently.

Time to worry would be if it was a male Dr....and while carry out said invasive examination you could also feel both his hands on your hips.........

So...your rectum has digits? The Doctor would be examining one of those digits? I wouldnt be worrying if it is a male or female Doctor...

My now retired GP didn't. Some do though, since it's easier to get rid of a patient with a prescription than a proper explanation as to why antibiotics have no effect on viral illnesses. In fact, my GP wished there was a placebo they could prescribe rather than a real antibiotic since he was terrified of superbugs.

I think it's all about our perception of time. Put simply, the same length of time seems different at different stages of your life.

For example,when you're 6 a year is a 6th if your life,that's a huge percentage, but by the time you're 30 a year is a 30th and so on. So it just seems smaller / faster.

Because someone who reckons "a bird with a long neck" is Naomi Campbell makes for better TV than someone who gives a sensible answer (and the stupid people give more people a sense of superiority over them?

To follow that up, if veggies care so much about animals, why do they eat their food?

And why do their soy / tofu etc. alternatives always resemble the meat being replaced? :confused:
 
Tofu doesn't resemble meat in any way unless processed to do so. IMO, tofu is the curdled smegma of satan. Is it only me who finds the use of a famous hunt's name for a vegetarian "food" mildly ironic?

Errr....nor does soya.
Which was kinda my point.
 
'Twas your use of "always" that confused me, combined with the earliness of the hour and the few hours of sleep I managed last night!
