Captain Tripps

Can’t help thinking that all these ‘things are under control’ statements about the Swine Flu outbreak is masking lots of high level panicking around the world. Phone lines are buzzing, emergency procedures are being wound up, CDC is very, very busy. Maybe I just read too muct dystopian horror but …. this feels serious.

Ah, but Tim, are you dreaming about an ol’ woman yet? Or a man with worn down boot heels?

I tell you what – I picked a hell of a bad time to read Conrad Williams’s novel “ONE”… It’s a post-apocalyptic smack in the face with a rancid leg of meat. And not animal meat either.

Here in the Midlands of England, I live only a few miles away from someone (whom I don’t know) who’s been diagnosed with it. Speaking to medical professionals in this area, and I know a few, they are clueless, having had sod all in the way of info through official NHS channels. They are relying on the BBC news for their info on how to deal with El Capitano Tripps, or the potential HAMdemic.
I’m stocking up on booze for The End. I might see about getting a copy of “Bar None” as well. Is it meant to be read as a handbook on surviving the aPORKalypse? Or just a jolly good read to enjoy during the PARMAgeddon?
