Yep. Ate wednesday night and by thursday evening i was making friends with the toilet. Probably about 10 hours for it to start kicking in properly. I saw a doctor on friday who said that there wasnt much you can do, just try to keep up the fluids. I have eaten at the Supper Inn since and havent had a problem.

Giddyup,
I was going to say at least you were at home. But it is appalling for this sort of thing to happen in Melbounre – I’m surprised about the Supper In though. How long after – it usualy takes 6-24 hours for it to kick in.

You poor man!

I had a very similar experience (complete with the fever etc) and lost about 6 – 7 kg in 5 days. The only good (?) thing was that it didnt ruin any holiday I was on because I got the food poisoning at home in Melbourne. Dodgy duck from Supper Inn.

So much for the right underpants for the *prevailing conditons*, Ed!

Perhaps you could craft a snow dome using the soiled iPhone?

At my parents in Carrara. No idea where I picked it up but it is impossible to eat anything really different there so it wasn’t some dodgy back alley restaurant like here in London.

I also managed to get it in once in Singapore (I have been there dozens of times). The occasion was to ask my wife for her hand in marriage, and subsequently for some Immodium.

I have found a way to lose 65Kgs in a year. Gastric bypass. Works a treat, until you travel in France where the sheer volume of sugary and fatty foods make your newly arranged insides try and turn themselves inside out. You learn the hard way sometimes…

Barbara, funnily enough I think we were lost in the desert for a while. Lol!

AOF, funnily enough my complexion is exceptionally clear right now.

Neil, don’t fear last night fresh fois gras Michelin starred restaurant.Fucking amazing. Coming soon…and I kept it in.

Jack, usually I’d have the whole kit but I thought “what can happen in two days in Dubai?” A lot apparently.

Ran, I would have loved an injection. I did think about checking myself into hospital at one point but for the fact I had to catch a plane.

Stickyfingers, that sounds like sticky trousers although at least unlike a good friend of mine it wasn’t at work. I would usually have gastrolyte but thought I wouldn’t need it for two days. Never again.

utsi, sadly my hotel and mother were the only victims. Emirates got off lightly.

Esz, allin well now and I have learnt my lesson.

Ken, now you won’t find this kind of detail in The Age or the Herald Sun for that matter. I guess that’s what editors are for. Or blogs.

Hunty, on the Gold Coast. Where? I could do with droping ten under controlled conditions though.

Jen, well maybe I do keep the title. Thanks to this incident it may work quite well.

Thanh, got to the Michelin restaurant – three times! Posts coming soon. It’s a food hiot everyday in the UK but at a price.
