What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[Bruce Rioja]

I can't taste anything Put about a half a bunch of spring onions on my lunch and still couldn't taste them.

Maybe now's a good time to roadtest one or two of GG's recipes

Why? Do you think a sever bout of retching might fix your taste buds?

[Gooner Girl]

A friend has just messaged me a recipe for Creme Egg cheesecake, he says its delicious and it sounds heavenly, so high on the success of my leek and potato soup (which even the twins ate without turning their noses up!) i am gonna give it a bash...

I have a sweet tooth, but even to me that sounds absolutely disgusting......

Luckily i have a very sweet tooth...

Made a vindaloo last night. I never eat vindaloo, just anything to try and taste something. Not a thing.

Hey - maybe the twins have got what I've got if they ate your soup

Ahh stop with your moaning and your man flu. If you've gone into work you can't be that bad. No sympathy!

None sought. We have the Bradford Factor. As such, we just turn in even when, like me, we're actually at death's door.

[TANGODANCER]

Am going to have to force the issue with my sinuses. I've got lamb and I've got a jar of Goan Vindaloo. Never had Vindaloo before. Can't be that hot, can it?

Oh, it can, believe me.

Its a terrible system IMO. People come in sick, spread it, more people get sick and then eventually you lose more people than you would if folk just stayed at home in the first place.....

I don't know what the answer is, but I'm certainly not keen on that, despite it being universally accepted it seems.....

I, along with everyone (barring two people) here agree with you. It actually targets the conscientious.

Thing is - My employer has provided me with all the relevant kit for me to be able to work from anywhere in the world. However, working from home when suffering with the lurgy isn't an option. You're either ill or you're not, and, like you say, due to all the hassle involved people just turn in ill and spread it around.

Mr GG stays off work even if he just has a cold (man flu) Apparantly its company policy NOT to go in, in case you spread it and more people are off sick (well thats what he tells me anyway...)

No easy answers to it.....I've worked with loads of systems none seem to work.

He does always try and get in when its snows, thats true, then comes home hours later pissed off cos the trains aren't running!

[Bruce Rioja]

So anyway, in a bid to reawaken my senses of taste and smell I'm going to try sausages, crumpets, egg and beans - then some malt loaf. If that doesn't work nowt will!

Yup Bish, spot on. One of my favourite childhood memories is eating chips on the beach on the Isle of Man on holiday when I was about 9. One of the best ever meals I have had.

Took Ma & Pa to Scarborough for the day one day last year and we had fish and chips on the front. Pair of 'em declared them to be the best ever.
Must say, they were blummin good.
