Tut - you killjoy.

I likes a good argument, I do...... I was enjoying that exchange.....

I'm sure it was all friendly banter, wasn't it boys??

I broke my own rules... I spent two days with horrendous food poisoning and fever in a stinking hot grass hut in Northern Thailand.

I'd had a few alcoholic beverages and ate a Kebab from a street vendor. It looked suspect and my 'gut feeling' told me I shouldn't but I was hungry and not thinking clearly... beer

It was in a very touristic town and they would rather sell you raw, dirty or uncooked meat than lose a customer.

When people come and come so quickly, you're unlikely to see the same customer twice anyway....

Just once more:

No personal attacks. That means no calling other posters names, whether by emoticon ("abusive troll") or implication ("personality disordered narcissists").

Contributions to the thread, more or less on topic or vaguely related, are fine.

Lighthearted banter is also fine, of course. Some of the recent posts don't qualify.

Thanks for staying on track.
