Teens warned of meningitis kissing link.

"[Scientists] found that recent attendance at a religious event ... conferred a lower risk of meningitis."

Well clearly the obvious conclusion is that meningitis is the work of Satan, and that everyone who catches it is evil and deserves what they get.

(If I had a choice between "no snogging" and "one snog followed by DEATH", I'd choose the snog)

It would have to be a very good snog.

Well, any are better than none.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Friday, 10 February 2006 09:21 (nineteen years ago)

any road up, that 'religious event' quote isn't in that news story...

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 10 February 2006 09:23 (nineteen years ago)

Bah.

(I didn't read the link, because I already heard the story on Today this morning)

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Friday, 10 February 2006 09:24 (nineteen years ago)

It was there earlier! They've changed it!

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 10 February 2006 09:46 (nineteen years ago)

what if that last snog lasts forever?

i thought this would be about after you make out for a couple of hours and your lips feel funny.

(Its okay Nick I get the Senseless Things reference)

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 10 February 2006 10:15 (nineteen years ago)

I supose they are going to say having less sexy increases the chance of billow-balls?

Oh no, I thought Mono was the kissing disease! (And I had that, too. Caused by kissing dirty punker boys, sigh.)

So do I, and I'm really disappointed the thread's not about them. Perhaps it can be, in tandem?

(I did as well, Andii in a Karman blah blah etc)

Top song! I once found, I can't remember how, a cassette tape release of all their demo stuff - it was my most treasured possession for ages but I lost it. And they never seem to be available on ~~illegal~~ download sites :(

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 10 February 2006 11:00 (nineteen years ago)

My proudest posession was the "Andii" e.p. that never got released (white label copy), until one day I found someone selling the unused cover art for it. Now that, together, is.

(Alright, it's not really, there are many other things I'm more proud of, but as this is ILM, oh wait..)

The Australian team which carried out the British Medical Journal study of 144 teenagers defined multiple partners as up to seven in a fortnight.

WHO DID THIS HAPPEN TO???

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 10 February 2006 12:15 (nineteen years ago)

Not me :(

But then I didn't get meningitis either... I think that's all the proof I need.

i caught the gonorrhea once after snogging someone at a train station :(

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 10 February 2006 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

wait actually it was a pendolino

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 10 February 2006 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

One would imagine Virgin trains to be less of a risk.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 10 February 2006 13:49 (nineteen years ago)

I'm unfamiliar with the way certain words are used here, by one of the doctors the article cites: "They tend to think they are impervious and will live forever. But if the message is this is something that could kill them in three days, it's a little more adjacent."

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 10 February 2006 13:56 (nineteen years ago)

i think dying in three days is okay, as long as it isn't INSTANT DEATH, because, the best part of snogging is telling all your mates "OMG YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHO I SNOGGED LAST NIGHT LOL" innit.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 10 February 2006 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

If you've got a really bad hangover after so many nights out on the (successful) pull, you might not see your mates in time to brag about the 7th person in a fortnight. Then maybe no-one will ever know, and think you're just a 6-in-a-fortnight loser.

― Craig Gilchrist (Craig Gilchrist), Friday, 10 February 2006 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

Ken, I have just emailed you.
