Yeah, breast cancer. That's the main one they appear to focus on.

Sent from mTalk
Gruen has had some interesting discussions on the whole pink campaign and how from a marketing perspective it has gone a long way from the original idea

Movember is another example of targeted marketing for research funding

the point really is that there are a lot of cancers out there, some are more common, some do more damage, if you are going to fund you fund the ones that have the biggest impact, so things like breast and prostate cancer, skin cancer in this country etc

my comment was more the fact that curing cancer isn't a single job, there isn't one type of cancer there isn't a single vaccine etc

hell look at how the flu mutates

Yep. Coughs can GAGF. I've had one for the last week to week and a half (no sore throat though), and it's showing no signs of going anywhere.
I've been off coffee and it's all about tea atm. Good for the cough. And water.

My doc said to go back for antibiotics if it hadnt gone away "in one week"- which was last week. But **** off if im going back to the docs office, for like the fourth time now.

I hate the actual flying far more than jet lag, air travel is a ******* pain in the arse. Though I mainly do it for work which is not a fun reason to travel I guess.
Nah I only travel for leisure and ****ing hate it- every single thing except the food and the movies. Never really get jet lag tho which is one plus.

Yeah I don't get jet lag either, I get tired of course cause I can't sleep on planes.

Oh and on topic: people who use speaker phone in office environments, particularly when on hold, pain in the arse.

Had a cough for 6 weeks but ever since the GWS game and yelling so much I have now got a bad sore throat. Cough has increased to the point I think I am coughing up stuff from primary school now.

I keep thinking of making a doctors appointment then gets forgotten in the next bout of coughing
