    I post this one periodically on Facebook, in the hope that some Phils family members might actually take notice of it: :rolleyes:

    True. BOTH would be ideal... though unlikely, certainly from what I've observed in our locality. :rolleyes:

    (Close to home, as my lovely Fiancee was killed on a motorcycle , while wearing full safety gear, 30 years ago this coming May 1st ) . I suppose some is better than none though.

    I'm sure it is a requirement to wear a helmet when riding in Cebu City. They had a push on it a year or so ago. It should be compulsory everywhere. Last time I rented in Camotes I was given two.

    Thanks Malcolm :). This is the second time I have been hospitalised this winter. My previous stay was 5 days but this time it will be at least double that as I had a rather severe allergic reaction to an inhaled drug.

    Thank you Max :). The drug was actually Beclamethasone, a corticosteroid, rather than that foul brown coloured drain-cleaner or white chalk dust.
