The last contract I was on I managed to get threadworm although usually that's something you only catch when you have small kids. Probably got it from a bog door due to some grubby non-hand-washing sod at work. Not sure I go as far as expat with the tissue but I do now always open bog doors right at the very top with the last joint of my little finger.bloggoth

Well, the toilets at that site had a paper towel dispenser and a bin right at the door, so it was easy to use a towel to open the door, dump the towel, and shimmy out before the door closed.Originally posted by xoggoth View PostThe last contract I was on I managed to get threadworm although usually that's something you only catch when you have small kids.

I no longer have the office toilet problem for the same reason as I no longer have the IR35 problem or the 40% tax problem or the boring commute problem etc etc.Comment

Or maybe it was nothing to do with bogs. Why is everyone convinced the only possible source of any illness is the bogs at clientco?Originally posted by xoggoth View PostProbably got it from a bog door due to some grubby non-hand-washing sod at work.

Please point to the part of the article where it mentions hospitals.Originally posted by Cyberman View PostThe problem is that some muslims are thus refusing to abide by hygiene regulations, which will have knock-on effects for us all. Not all hospitals will have non-alcohol based hand lotions and I would not expect them to, so if they refuse to use the lotions it will help to propagate MRSA germs etc.
It's just the thin end of an unhygienic wedge.
and by 'some' you mean two, both of whom were given non-alcohol based lotions.Comment

The fact is that once you start allowing exceptions it lowers the standards of hygiene for all of us. If somebody enters a hospital, for instance, and refuses to abide by regulations they should be ejected immediately. You only need one person to start an epidemic, but of course you have no hope of being able to understand that.

No point asking him for facts or logic or even the truth in support of his inane rantings - he'll just say "me no understand".Originally posted by Pondlife View PostPlease point to the part of the article where it mentions hospitals.
