Very random: Godot/Captain Falcon?

(Wow, that's one amazing Godot cosplay. The Captain Falcon is also really good.)

The flu-jab people are in the office today. It's amazing how many people come up with all sorts of excuse not to have it. I guess some are legitimate, but others are just plain "omg needle! Scared! Not getting it! Would rather catch the flu!" I can understand if people have an actual phobia and want to avoid it at all costs, but from what I can see, my coworkers are just being wusses.

There's a scene in the TLR fic I'm writing which reminds me of the Kwik-Fit TV ads. Kwik-Fit will fix it! Rush will fix it.......... oh wait.

♫ Rush the builder (CAN HE FIX IT?) ~ Rush the builder (YES HE CAN!) ♪

*cough*

Said fic is so gratuitous I'm ashamed of it and I'm scrapping some of the worst ideas in there because they're on par with ff.net badness.

That said, I still want David to be drugged in some sort of situation. XDDDDDDDD NO. IT'S NOT DRUG RAPE. No, I wasn't going there. But still. The idea was bad. Unless I turn the whole thing into crackfic. Hey wait, that's an idea...

Oh, we get free flu jab from our medical insurer, so they come by once a year. Sure, flu doesn't do bad damage to healthy people, but personally I'd rather suffer a needle than to feel really poorly for a week or two. DX

Aaaah, what a nifty idea. Here, you have to go to your doctor to get it. And what usually happens is that all the hysterics/zomgflumillionscanDIE!!!-type people rush off to get the vaccine, which comes in limited quantities, which means that there isn't enough left for those who actually need it if the season is a bad one. orz

I'm not sure if that happens here, haven't heard about it. Over here everyone over 65, with long term med condition, and some other people are entitled to the vaccine for free. But I don't know how the supplies are for the rest of the people.

Maybe our "NHS" is just stingy. Real vikings don't get no flu rawr, etc. Wouldn't surprise me. >_>

It's not an NHS thing here except for the people Pez mentioned. Some pharmachies do sell flu jabs for anyone who wants one though.

Err, I think that's how it works, anyway.
