I'm being poisoned!!

[Whaleboy]

So I've had my head under a rock for the last few days and only just realised that Anglian Water have decided to do the right thing and kill off the population of Northampton by putting cryptosporidium in the water.

After several days of happily chugging the tap water tell me polydocs, am I going to die a horrible death by being turned inside-out via my arse?

In other news, I finally have my nice new flat and a working internet connection for the first time in months . I'm with BE Broadband, getting 24Mb/s and because I live about 150 metres from the exchange, I'm actually getting it .

Life is good. Now, if you'll excuse me I must visit the loo... what I wouldn't do for a bit of bandwidth throttling...

Brits still can't figure out how to do the basics.

to the old country.

Shocking! Even the colonials can drink water without dying

So British people actually do refer to Americans (or Canadians in this case I guess) as colonials? Awesome! Though, in the future, if you could say bloody colonials, it would make my day. Thanks in advance!

Mix your water with alcohol. Perfect reason to drink at work, "I'm killing the parasites".


On a more serious note, unless you're really young, really old, or really dying from some disease, the worst that cryptosporblahblahblah will do is make you poo lots.

Can I have your stuff?

Not yet. At the moment we think of you rather as a parent would think of a slightly errant child...

DrSpike, if you're comfortable with acquiring a load of stuff once owned by a man who died from a nasty case of exploding bowel syndrome, you're most welcome

[DrSpike]

Grateful if you could move anything good to self-contained storage space. Just as a precaution, you understand.

We only find it necessary to do so on Poly.

Nah. I went 'cross teh pond a few years back, one of those tourist trap thingie and the "judge" asked if I was a colonist, to which I replied, "No, I was born there."
