Another one for the Purple Posse! Welcome Cala Raffles - everything tastes better when it's purple or purple-adjacent

Yep, I recently got a cold, but it stayed a cold and didn't go the usual chest infection-type route. Over in a few days, which was very welcome!

So passive vaping is actually (potentially) good for you! No wonder big farma have got the knives out - they must have had this info locked in the lead lined box, in a safe, down a 200ft well, filled with reinforced concrete - on the public display board. With a sign saying 'Beware of the leopard' It's not limited to vaping either - I think the gist of the article could foresee some kind of anti-flu inhaler which could be either prescribed or generally available. If they let it.

Mice don't like new-fangled contraptions, they're mostly still smoking...

So basically then, it's a load of old sc**t*m............. Nope, it's just not a panacea. In one specific case in specific mice, there is strong evidence it may have been a factor in the preservation of life when threatened by a specific flu virus in a specific manner (inhalation). Whether this translates to certain groups of humans or all of us, with which viruses, and to what extent in which circumstances is a matter for further investigation. It's a starting point, not an end. I don't think that's balls!

Hiking the price up to create quality perception is a recognised and widely-practised strategy in marketing - with designer goods, for example, you're mainly paying for the name and logo. The use of higher quality materials and craftsmanship does not always account entirely for the mark-up. Even my DKNY wallet isn't perfect, and Chanel use plastic just like everyone else. Equally, supermarket brands do just the same job and the difference between them and branded goods is often a flick of a switch and packaging, yet brands still thrive. I can't imagine that the vaping world is any different, but there are always plenty of people with opinions and rave reviews on both sides of the divide. Just depends what's worth more to you personally.

I think when you're dealing with sci-fi time travellers, you can do pretty much anything you like, including gender reassignment Probably won't though, but a little more diversity wouldn't hurt with Doctor Who. That would be a cracking episode. My transvestite summer with Dr Who Regards Jez Yes, yes it would!! All those rainbow scarves were just foreshadowing
