Big Rich:
I have receved a email with the below message. Thought I should share it with you all.  

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."

Sorry Rich but it's a load of old Tosh.

The usual sort of thing where it's just designed to clog up inboxes.

There is a CDC in the States so it would appear to have been transposed from an American version of it.

scorpio:
Sorry but that is another of those lovely urban myths http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/HBUrbanMyths.shtml#needlestheater it amazes me that some one must have gone to long lengths to write that just for a so called joke!

alaric:
Have to agree with Wanderer - it's a hoax.

Have a look at Snopes

Alaric.

hobbit:
