People take far too many antibiotics. Then when they *really* need them, the drugs don't work.

Fair enough, but 'apocalypse' not being hyperbole?

This isn't really the problem. The problem is people taking them for things that they are useless for (viral infections and the like), not taking enough of them (take every last pill in that bottle, folks, even if you feel fine), and taking the wrong ones (another reason to finish that prescription and not save them for later). Places like Mexico that have them OTC have much, much higher rates of antibiotic resistance than we do.

WTF@ the comments on that daybreak live blog piece (which is conceptually atrocious in every way imaginable) people taking such meaningless fluff seriously, WTF. For god's sake, get a grip Guardian readership!

Taking meaningless fluff seriously is pretty much the number 1 class signifier in 21st Century England.

Actual economic impact of carpet bombing during WWII seriously over-estimated in the general public consciousness iirc.

Aren't the Guardian all about a 'sardonic', 'off kilter' approach to sleb culture? Unlike the poor stupid people who all take it really seriously and Heat 'in some ways can be seen' as replacing religion or other sources of meaning in their lives.

Dun Darach is more or less my fave Spectrum game ever, alongside those other Gargoyle adventures.

I had Jim Watt Boxing. You jabbed pointlessly for 4 rounds then went in with the heid and finished it in the 5th.

Ha yeah but the comments kinda give lie to that. Some bored civil servants ardently responding to a livebloggah detailing the voodoo coronation of the Chelmsford Ceaucescu's fluoresecent fuckbuddy and one of Business Lunch's foremost alumni. So it cuts across class lines I guess.
