Re: Need a new vacum , any recommendations

I owned a Dyson and recently replaced it with a Miele 5211. I wasn't happy with the Dyson, the suction was poor with me having to chase the bits around to suction them up and the plastic parts fell...

Re: Pauline Hanson - O the irony!

Re: Pauline Hanson - O the irony!

LOL Vash!

That "if you don't like it, leave" car sticker did pop up in my mind when I first heard the news.

I have a 7 year old daughter who is a good reader. It was that mob with their "F***...

Re: Pauline Hanson - O the irony!

She seemed to be quite okay with the past policy of British people migrating to Australia, whose way of life was very different to the host society of the aborigines. In fact, she had a big problem...

Re: JAMAICANS IN AUSTRALIA

Apparently some of the early convicts were black West Indians. I met a woman who was fostering our dog and she told me that her ancestor was a black man on the first fleet. I was surprised but then...

Re: kids vaccinations

I'm not particularly surprised actually. It's well known that the UK has had a lower than desired take up of the MMR since the 1990s a la Wakefield and this can be evidenced by the 13 year high of...

Re: kids vaccinations

Japonica,

I'll have to answer your post in parts as it is pretty long! I have a 3 year old at home and work part time. I will try and get around to the other segment when I can. But here goes...

Re: kids vaccinations

More on herd immunity and pertussis. Because pertussis is very contagious and ongoing immunity is harder to achieve compared to other vaccinable diseases the her immunity threshold rate is higher. ...

Re: kids vaccinations

I think it's quite well known that pertussis is the least well controlled disease of the vaccinable diseases (you can see that on the charts in the link I provided).

This is apparently because...
