It is, after all, just a bit of bacteria and a bit of bacteria now and then toughens up the old immune system. I expect anyone who has ever dipped their hands into a bowl of communal peanuts or crisps has had worse.
In short, much apoo about nothing. :-)
I am sure someone has already said. not surprised all tastes like **** to me :coffeehipster:Quote:

What sort of sorry excuse for a country would end up in the position where foreigners can only eat cooked vegetables? I'm dreading it. :-(
When i went on holiday last year i avoided ice for most of the week and then some **** put ice in my coke and i just thought "**** it" and downed it. I had the ****s for the last two days :-( Had to take an imodium for the 6 hour flight home.Quote:

I've been three or four times and it is fine. As long as you stick to vegetables and bread. The vegetarian food is much better anyway because the meat is piss poor quality.Quote:

You live and learn :D
It is quite a scary thought, though, when you consider just how full of **** WES is to start with :humanitariandisaster:Quote:

Just get fired in. Life is too short to fúck about worrying about ice in your drinks or lettuce with your meal.
The way you talk its almost as though you don't actually want WES to shīt himself inside out. :-(Quote:

This reminds me of a joke.Quote:

The bloke's naturally furious and marches over to the lady in question.
"Oi, love, you Fart-in-ma Whitbread?"
"Nah, she replies. "I'm Tessa Sanderson"
Speaking of jokes. One of the gay gentlemen in the office didn't like my sharp humour.Quote:

Nothing... just :tumbleweed:
I must have been to Malaysia and Singapore about 40 times over the years. Have eaten everything and never had a problem.Quote:

I can cope with the ****s. This was both ends for 12 hours, partial blindness, complete loss of balance and, more importantly, dignity.
There was **** everywhere….
It's just food with human shít in it. Could happen anywhere. :shrug: Perhaps the Indian penchant for street-****ting makes the matter a little more widespread.Quote:
