Apparently it's cryptosporidium

Quite a nasty sounding little bug

I can't even give my dogs a drink of water without boiling it then....Kat will get bottled water and Alfie drinks beer.

Do you need a drinking partner Matt

Picturedrome in town tonight, the Northampton PH boozers will be there.
(I think they welcome any men that are willing to drink more than 5 pints)

Actually i'm not much of a drinker but my dog Alfie is and he loves a pint!! I'll send him down to the picturedrome and make sure he's wearing a PH sticker!!

That's a cracking idea.......run your car on special brew and drink the petrol on special occasions!!

Back on topic, this was posted on the Chronicle website under the latest water report story.

'Roger Mellie,The Institution 25/06/2008 11:14:16
So bottled water stocks have almost run dry amid a spell of panic buying?

Bizarre. Still, Weston favell Tesco should be ok, seeing as everyone east of the A43 drinks only Stella, and will be in bed til the crack of noon.'

If they need to drink more than 5 pints they're drinking the wrong stuff

And I thought you had to boil cola before drinking it anyway

Deep joy - from the BBC

A spokesman for Anglian Water said: "The outbreak is likely to last days rather than hours but we are not putting a timescale on it until we know more."

[Mrs BlueCerbera]

Northants 96.6 (or whatever they're called) are giving out bottles of water in the Market Square, donated from Bedford - I think a riot may break out

At least the school hasn't shut ...... yet
