Regarding the latter story: I watched an interview on CNN last night with Professor Adrian Hill. He was claiming a possible vaccine for September this year. The delivery and distribution system would be the major problem.

He made the point that the Ebola vaccine was a hit right off the bat and they think they have this vaccine sorted too.

I did one of these for my GF's mates, it was a lot of fun. One of the rounds, I replaced all the instruments in songs with fart noises and they had to guess what they were.

Talksport has been brilliant.

Spoke to my brother for the first time in years, (weddings/funerals etc notwithstanding) and we had a nice chat. We dont not get on, we just have an awkward age difference so were not close as kids, and have zero in common, other than the same parents. Wouldnt have happened without this stuff.
