The food tasted wonderful, but unfortunately wasn't; a little extra ingredient was present.<br /><br />I awoke in the early hours of the 19th of December of that year feeling a little "off". A minute later I was on my hands and knees puking uncontrollably into the toilet, and trying (unsuccessfully) to avoid pebble-dashing the wall behind me as the distal end of my gut tried to emulate the proximal part.<br /><br />19th December is my birthday, and so it was I spent my 40th birthday ill. I'd hope to spend it pleasantly drunk; as it was the highlight was keeping down a cup of oral rehydration solution.<br /><br />Further research revealed a few more mutterings regarding a number of temporal coincidences of eating in the Kro2 bar+restaurant and suffering gastro-intestinal problems. I shall not be eating their food ever again, since rightly or wrongly I blame them for the problems. Lesson learned, as they say.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618328278732100203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-75887645517101678732011-09-18T08:48:04.457+01:002011-09-18T08:48:04.457+01:00Glad you're rejoin the conversation, but pleas...Glad you're rejoin the conversation, but please don't call me 'shorty'....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-8049236494571186332011-09-18T02:34:22.261+01:002011-09-18T02:34:22.261+01:00Does NASA know you've been exporting booster r...Does NASA know you've been exporting booster rocket technology? ;-)<br /><br />Hope you're feeling better soon.John Pickworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166443099429490782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-6918094067596553102011-09-17T23:29:00.541+01:002011-09-17T23:29:00.541+01:00Well at least you know what the authorities are go...Well at least you know what the authorities are going to feel like and why we use the term 'when the shit hits the fan'.<br />Otherwise known as 'when the people hit the streets'.

That's my diogonsis, anyway. <br />The only times I have ever got food poisoning were in England, oddly enough, from eating chicken in English pubs. Seems we don't know how to safely prepare food. Never ever had this problem in Indian restaurants I have to confess. Remember back in the very early 80s "chicken in a basket" was very trendy? What a fucking shits-bringer-on that was! Glad they banned it. The only call 'elf and safety ever got right, I reckon. My advice to you right now is drink plenty of bottled mineral water.some cuntnoreply@blogger.com
