    How about posters just try not acting like jerks? Maybe only replying to a post if they had something useful to contribute, rather than taking any opportunity to criticise or belittle someone else.

    Might be worth taking your own advice there TR, 90% of your posts offer nothing but criticism ;)

    OP, drop Tesco an email, I'm sure you'll happily send you some Imodium :p

    Mould can't give you the Shi'ites, it's used to make antibiotics.


    Certain types of mould can be used to make antibiotics but this certainly doesn't mean that all mould is safe.
    Mouldy nuts or cereal grains can be extremely dangerous to eat as can some mouldy fruit and I take it that you've never heard of toxic mould infestation in houses with poor ventilation?

    Can mouldy ketchup be attributed to the toilet issues the OP has or had ?

    I've no idea. However, even if it can't, that's still totally different to stating that "Mould can't give you the Shi'ites, it's used to make antibiotics"
    Mould on/in certain cheeses is fine to eat but eat some soft cheeses that have gone mouldy and you could well regret it for many days afterwards.

    As ketchup has a very high acid content and takes a fair while to go mouldy, I certainly wouldn't want to risk eating something that in all likelihood had been festering for a long time.

    Sorry, I've been to Mold and it can definitely give you the Shi'ites

    Oh Pleeeaase! Do you know of anyone who goes around eating mould accumulated in badly ventilated houses.

  • Oh Pleeeaase! Do you know of anyone who goes around eating mould accumulated in badly ventilated houses.
    Why would it matter if they did?
    After all. according to you, mould is safe as it's used to make antibiotics, (and you don't have to eat it as breathing it in is enough to make many people ill) and you conveniently forgot to reply to my comment about eating mouldy nuts, fruit or soft cheeses).

    Why do some people on here try to find any excuse rather than simply admitting that they may have made a factual error in a post?

    The reason I became irritated was the way you responded in a purile manner not suitable for an adult response. You decided to act in a childlike over-reaction to gain more thanks which I consider to be very sad. I have no issue with the fact you live behind a keyboard for most of your life and purport to be some sort of cyber saint but most people would simply point out a potential mistake but you decided to go down the humiliation route which says more for your anal character type than my words can ever say.

    Just a few suggestions to make you a better person if you wish to improve your outlook on socialisation. Is there a swimming pool or library close by so you could meet real people?

  • I love it when MSE users take the mick out of vulnerable people... :mad:
    Where at all does it indicate the OP is vulnerable and just not being very silly over it?
    Don't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked

    So says the person whose average daily posting rate is twice that of mine,
    and I take it that I was correct and you are not going to admit that your initial comment was to incorrect.
    Thought so.
