22 April 2003 Special Olympics and Sars Not happy. Not a happy bunny at all. Why? They're holding part of the Special Olympics on Northern Ireland this year. Now, normally that wouldn't bother me - even with the wholly patronising use of the word 'special'. No, it's the fact that people from countries where the damned Sars virus is running rampant will be coming to stay in my bloody country. Thanks a bunch. So far Norn Iron has avoided the virus but the Edna award for idiot of the fucking year has to go to the people who think it's still a good idea to go ahead with this. Jesus, I remember a couple of years ago how this entire island went into a semi-lockdown because of the foot and mouth outbreak. You couldn't come out of the airports or off the ferries without being disenfected. At one point I had to make a quick journey across the Ulster/Eire border and had my car disenfected three times by guys dressed up in those weird anti-contamination suits. It was like a space age jet wash. The Foreign Office has said you're safer travelling to Iraq than China at the moment and even children returning to British boarding schools after spending the Easter holidays in Asian countries were placed in quarantine. I blame the ceasefire. Oh for the good old days when Belfast was getting blew to high heavens every couple of months and the rest of the world was too scared to come next or near us. Now, does anyone know where I can get one of those groovy face masks in black?
