    It didn't do that to me.

    Immodium was the saviour with plenty of water for dehydration.
    ..and another article in my 1st aid box is a packet or 2 or rehydration powder (blackcurrent).

    Seven days ,lots of cramps & three countries later three days into a Himilayan trek I eventually had a tulip.

    Personally wont touch the stuff.
    I cant blame you for that, I don't think anyone else would want to touch your sh*t either .

    Take care of yerself - this is why I alawys carry Immodium in my first aid box when I'm away from home. You never know when you're going to need it...
    Indeed! Many years ago I fell ill from some cockroach infested Moroccan food and felt the inevitable explosion growing in the guts. I virtually ran to our campsite desperately looking for the bogs but all I could see were tents, tents and more tents with people staring at me. I had about 5 seconds and I turned left thinking I'm going to either sh1t my pants or defecate in front of everyone. Fortunately, it was the toilets and I ran in, pushing someone over and just managed to get most of the foul satan's brew in the bowl. It was the ladies as well but at that stage I didn't care... horrible... couldn't move on for days and Immodium was the saviour with plenty of water for dehydration.

    "is that all you can think about?" On a work day. Yes.

    Gonna brave a little walk as the house stinks and I could do with the fresh air.

    Now its a ring of fire.

    I was supposed to negotiate my new global contract in one hour with the US VP and i've had to cancel it. I would've probably agreed to do the roll for £5 hour in this state.

    Im going back to bed/toilet/bed/toilet.
    is that all you can think about?

All you need to do is finish what you would have done today to meet the deadline, and if another day is needed because you weren't able to do it today, spend another day doing it when you are well again - perhaps next Saturday or Sunday?

    Why do so many contractors think like employees?
    If only the world could fit neatly into your little boxes

    Mate, carry it on your person at all times! Never been so blissful as when I was halfway up a mountain in Ladak and got that funny feeling in my tummy. I remember I had stuck it in my wallet as I had some very dodgy food on the way over from Delhi.

    Was visiting a Buddhist monastery later on that day. Dread to think what they would have though if I came covered in tulipe!

    The stuff never leaves my person, can make sex awkward though …..

    lol how true, great when you pick them up, hold them tight - a little to hard and they bring up their last bottle all over your head, neck and back. At least it's warm
