HIV is rife in the UK and apparently there has been a doubling of new HIV infections in the past decade [
BBC] (yes, as per
TB and
hepatitis B etc lack of immigration control is to blame, but don't say it out loud, it's racist you know).
Not A Sheep points out the odd maths where the BBC state that the Health Protection Agency data shows
new "
UK-acquired cases rose from just under 2,000 in 2001 to nearly 3,800 in 2010"...but in the same report state that "
In 2009, more than 2,000 black Africans were diagnosed with an HIV infection, one-third of all new diagnoses in the UK", so 2000 is one third of 3,800 (or a bit less presuming 2009 was lower). Eh? Anyway, that is odd but reading the article something else struck me, an apparent onomatomania: an apparent preoccupation with a certain word or words...I did a screenshot just in case (click image to enlarge): within only nine short sentences there are FOUR appearances of the phrase "
men who have sex with men"!
WTF is all that about?

Well you see it's like this.... oh, no you didn't mean it literally did you?
hahaha...the way it's written just seems so...erm...wrong.
P.S. Not sure if you noticed but the screen grab is in the brand new Firefox 4...soooo cool. Really good 'feel' and super fast.
OK, you don't give a toss ;-)
I hadn't noticed but I am interested. I've just switched to Windows 7 at home, which went very smoothly, and windows 7 at work, which isn't going anywhere!
Windows 7 looks really nice. I haven't used it but colleagues say it's good. I use XP (at work and on my travels) and Vista (at home)
Used firefox for a few years (Charlie 'convinced' me) and Opera a bit before that rather than IE. As W7 doesn't have IE (I think) you can download whatever browser you want...well even if it has IE you don't have to use it!
