Anyone had this bug yet?

What about Cow & Gate products?

No, it's not hilarious, but I don't s'pose Aussies do irony like the Brits.

It's working its way around work, doing my best to avoid it

 

[MarquisMatsugae]

yes. Of course. Any soup with "cream" in it's name will have milk in it.

I think Accy could be doing with Cream Of Sum Yung Gai

Try opening the tin and pouring the contents into a bowl.

Save yourself some time and make it the toilet bowl!

I can say that I usually understand irony, but they seem like orthogonal statements. Maybe there's something meta I should know about cow&gate, as I had to google to find out what it is.

(no, you don't have to have to explain the joke to me)

Norovirus? Just eat plain mashed potato, plain boiled rice, hardboiled eggs, for a day or two. No meat, no fruit, no veg, no dairy at all, not even butter. Drink flat full-fat Coca Cola. This was the advice from my GP.

The district nurse who comes to give me my post op' anti blood clot jab suggested cola. She said something about it stripping muck off coins so it should kill stomach and intestinal bugs.

Do you swallow coins as well, then! No wonder you feel rough

Stop doing it for a change!

Your gastric acids are typically way stronger than anything found in coke. She's talking rollocks. Coke would only be good to give you a short term energy boost because of the sugar and caffeine. A cup of sweetened coffee will do the same.

She's a right bruiser. I'm going to tell her what you said about her tomorrow!

I'm supposed to be trying to put weight on,but that's proving difficult with this bug and with my GP withdrawing my liquid food supplements due to cost saving measures. I've found myself a nice bottle of Advocaat in a cupboard. Maybe that'll help? There must be plenty of calories in alcoholic custard.

 

[Accy cyclist]

Now I'm sure you are just trolling.

No. Just trying to add a bit of humour to a dire situation. Slight attention seeking maybe (but why not as i'm stuck in here all day with feck all to talk to), but definitely not trolling!

We've had the "winter sick bug" a couple of times over the past few years. It totally wiped the youngest two out one xmas.
Flat coke is actually good at settling the stomach, don't think it has anything to do with it killing off germs though. It works for me, so I don't care what it does to a 2p coin.
As for milk in the soup - you should avoid dairy as that can actually "feed" the bacteria causing the sickness.
Plain foods are the way to go, little and often, plenty of liquids - not advocaat!!! - and feel better soon

Sounds shoot. I very very rarely get Ill (touch wood) the odd cold but that's about it.
