I think we may have just hit a time bubble 

SARS anyone?

sounds like a lucky escape!

The Explorer was apparently supposed to stop there for a while, it sank, therefore a lucky escape from what could have caused a possible pandemic virus!

Quarantine ensues... best get out the gingham dress and Mr Flibble!

My wife is from Tristan 

Happy

We got married there in 2002

I heard this on the news at 7am and wondered about it!!

I called my Mother in Law and she confirmed the problem

they are at least asking for help in advance of a major outbreak

I've just done an interview on the BBC regarding the outbreak

they'll be fine

reports coming in of these virus victims rising from the dead and apparently eating the flesh of their victims....

In the movies, it *always* starts like this!
