Default HIV * IMPORTANT MESSAGE *

I was e-mailed this earlier :


Friends,

This message is serious and has been passed to us from Cheshire RFU..

Could you please cascade as quickly as possible as this came through our
NHS web page.


For your information, a couple of weeks ago, in the Odeon cinema,
Festival Park, a person sat on something sharp in one of the seats. When
she stood up to see what it was, a needle was found poking through the
seat with an attached note saying, "You have been infected with HIV".


The Centres for Disease Control in Birmingham, reports similar events
have taken place in several other cities recently.


ALL of the needles tested HAVE been found positive for HIV. The CDC also
reports that needles have been found in the coin return areas of pay
phones and coke machines. Everyone is asked to use extreme caution when
confronted with these types of situations. All public chairs should be
thoroughly but safely inspected prior to any use. A thorough visual
inspection is considered the bare minimum. Further more, they ask that
everyone notify their family members and friends of the potential
dangers, as well.


The previous information was sent from Hanley police station to all of
the local councils in the Staffs area and was interdepartmentally
dispersed.

We were all asked to pass this to as many people as possible."

The only thing you can get is Hep B as the HIV and especially AIDS virus' dies when it outside the warmth of the human body. I used t worry when I get covered in blood at work but now see it as part of the fun, although there is a risk there as the blood is normally warm, hence plasters on any cuts and double bagged "surgeons gloves".
My mum stood on a hypodermic needle years ago, that really shook her up though.

Kim - i remember it happening at a nightclub in Batley, people getting jabbed with something sharp and someone saying "welcome to the club"


also recently, there was a spate of needles been wrapped in newspapers and stuffed down the side of seats on trains in the manchester and rochdale area - these needles were from drug users, IE - crack and heroin, but could well be contaminated with HIV, Hepatitis or any other blood transmitted disease - when you think about it, its very scary.


But the initial post on this thread is most definately a hoax

I hope your not aiming your "rolley eyes" smily at me! Fair enough,there are dirty scote bag sick fookers about and these things may happen, but I was only agreeing with Gracey's point of it being a hoax.

Bang on mate - HIV needs to be at 38 degrees or so to live so in a needle it dies in minutes. Can only get Hep B from a needble which is nasty but treatble.

If these this was true it would be on the news. E-mail is generally not the way of transmitting information like this. Much the same as the cars with no headlights gang initiation hoax that does the rounds every so often.

Whilst these may actually happen very occasionally (and thats where the e-mail probably comes from) if there was a sudden spate of incidents such as this, you would hear it from a more reputable source.

I GOT THIS ONE BEFORE

During the next several weeks be VERY cautious about opening or launching any e-mails that refer to the World Trade Center or 9/11 in any way, regardless of who sent it. PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, "WTC" STANDS FOR THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL OPEN IT RIGHT AWAY, THINKING ! ITS A STORY RELATING TO 9/11!

BIGGGG TROUBLE !!!! DO NOT OPEN "WTC Survivor" It is a virus that will erase your whole "C" drive.. It will come to you in the form of an E-Mail from a familiar person.

I repeat, a friend sent it to me, but called and warned me before I opened it. He was not so lucky and now he can't even start his computer!

Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather receive this 25 times than not at all. So, if you receive an email called "WTC Survivor", do not open it. Delete it right away! This virus removes all dynamic link libraries (.dll files) from your computer.


PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE!



AND THAT WAS FROM A MATE IN AUSTRALIA

JUST GOES TO SHOW "SHITE DOES FLOW WORLD WIDE"

jeez that is THE oldest hoax ever! I heard that when I was about 10!

Probably an older one is people sticking razor blaes in chewing gum on the flumes at swimming pools.

Any sort of warning comes via e-mail press that delete key....

Festival Park, a person sat on something sharp in one of the seats. When
she stood up to see what it was, a needle was found poking through the
seat with an attached note saying, "You have been infected with HIV".

that's funny, it ain't been in any of the local papers for like.....ever

worst thing you'll catch from Festival Park is scally'itus

I know this ones a hoax but a few years back i read this thing about a group of guys in greece or spain (dont remember) who were targeting young female hoildaymakers, they basically took them out a few times, shagged them and then took there details using the pretence that they were coming to england and would like to meet up, then a couple of weeks after the holiday these girls were recieving little white coffins through the post with a note inside saying 'welcome to the club', it affected me a bit at the time, its so sick!
