"How can I buy access?

To purchase Fon Passes you must be connected to a Fon hotspot. The first page that you see when you connect to the hotspot show the products that are available, their prices and payment methods."

Wish I'd known about this in Nov/Dec when I needed access..... as according to the map there are 3 within 100 yards of here... having said that I clicked "connect to..." and it said "problem loading page/ unable to connect" on the page http://wiki.fon.com/wiki/Connect_to_FON_Spots_Wireless_Signals

The thing that scares me most is the bacterial load in a kitchen sink.

Food poisoning doesn't concern me much. As long as food hasn't dropped in the kitchen sink, I will eat it.

What should I know about the bacterial load of a kitchen sink and what should I do to get rid of it?

At the moment, I just clean it and microwave the sponges after use for two minutes as that gets rid of all bacteria except hepatitis (or so I've read)...

Isn't hepatitis a virus? If it wasn't then presumably antibiotics could cure it and I think it's incurable. Hep C at least I'm pretty sure is incurable.

Hepatitis is a virus and antibiotics work on bacterial infections.

You can sort of treat Hep C with an anti-inflammatory (interferon) and some types of anti-virals.

It's more about symptom management rather than full cure for hepatitis. I only know as someone was consulting me about something re hep c a few weeks ago.

I can assure you that a wide range of dodgy bacteria including salmonellas are quite hard to kill using micfrowaves.

A pressure cooker could manage it if you have one.You'd need about 15-20 minutes to kill spores.

B*gger... this is not good news.

I don't have a pressure cooker and I'm guessing that my sponges would disintegrate anyway.

So this raises the question - what is the best cleaning routine then? Or should I only use paper plates and disposable cutlery?
