News Forum - Don’t spray ethyl alcohol on your food, warns FDA

[Bob20]

I saw those alcohol sprays to disinfect tables and have tried licking it off, but it tastes horrible  Much better to alternate bites of food with sips of red wine. I've not been sick or infected, so that must work well

Well perhaps there are many alternatives. For me it's Asprin. My dear old Dad swore by them. As a suppository I can tell you they appear to work certainly after I took the advice of my pal when I was discussing how effective Asprin may well be and he said "stick your Asprin up your arse".  I did and so far it is working

Very many but had to be out of earshot of my Mum or all hell and damnation would have been let loose on him

I always remember a girl I knew who never swore. When she was annoyed she would say, "Oh, flipperty stick." No idea where that originated.

Guess like so many of these things it was possibly a very local thing. For instance my Grandmother to express surprise would often say "strike a light", never heard that said anywhere else in the same context

Is it ok if the clergy , when surprised,   say  "holy shit "  ?

The thing is that he said it but how many people are doing it? These village idiots have invented their hand sanitizer sauce all on their own and are also eating it.

I'm only commenting based on my observation. My condo is filled with paranoid freaks who refuse to ride the lift with me and are walking around the condo yard in 50-meter-long circles with their heads wrapped deep inside diapers. They are absolutely insane.

Out of earshot of my mother, of course.

Lived in Felixstowe around 60 years, lovely memories of going paddling in the bitterly cold north sea, then hurriedly getting changed in the beach hut, then eating mums cheese sandwiches....with some sweet tea from a flask.

Wow, that took me back...

Sorry about the sidetrack mods.
Perhaps it's something from the war years? My dad was already an old codger when I was born.

I just remembered this. (You need to read both lines below out loud in a Brummie accent):

What's the difference between a buffalo and a bison?
You can't wash your hands in a buffalo.

So was Neville Chamberlain and looked how he worked out for the country. At least Ozzy was good at his job.

I used to walk past Ozzy Osbourne's house twice day, going to and from school in Aston. He wasn't even famous then and I didn't know him, or where he lived. I found that out years later.
I have no Brummie accent as I escaped to Leicester when I was fifteen. I had to learn to say, "Ay up m'duck", "Up tarn Sat-di to get sum traaziz", "Mardy bum".
Oh, and we couldn't buy 'cobs' any more, we had to have 'baps' or 'rolls'.
It's only forty miles from Birmingham to Leicester, but it was another bloody language.

His father was Mayor of Birmingham. A piece of useless information I remembered there.
