Countdown to Bangalore

Breaking news ... further to a previous post, I have just had injections for typhoid, hepatitis A, diphtheria, tetanus and (I think) yellow fever. The nurse told me that my arms will be sore for the next 48 hours but, this morning, I only felt a little prick.

Update on Monday, September 13, 2010 by Simon Clark

"Why are you going to India?" asked the nurse.

"I'm speaking at a conference on tobacco," I replied. "I defend people who smoke."

Momentary pause.

"Everyone's got to have a job," she said brightly, sticking the needle in a little further.

Ouch.

You've left out a few there Simon, hope you come back in one piece!
Anyway good on you for keeping up the good work for smokers issues, hope you have a good trip. Personally I could not bear to be on a plane longer than 4hours anymore, I can barely cope with the airport scene these days.
You should bring Caroline Lucas with you, she'd have masses of green issues to sink her tusks into in industrialised India, not to mention climate change and global warming.
Better still, give us all a break and drop her off in Calcutta but dont collect her on the way back!

"drop her off in Calcutta ..................."

Doesn't Mother India have enough problems already, Ann ?

Dropping her in the Arabian Sea - now that's a different matter..............................

Good idea Martin.
She would make an nice 'vegetarian' meal for some poor hungry shark!
Especially the head part.
