Well, PV = nRT, if that's what you mean.

Paracetamol is Tylenol #3 (that's the kind with Codiene. You need a prescription for it here).

Also, over here "Mau-Mau" is "Bunga-Bunga."

Probably creeping PC, as Mau-Mau has a specific, unpleasant meaning.

And "Bunga-Bunga" is a lot funnier.

Paracetamol is Tylenol. Codoliprane is Tylenol #3.

I'm allergic to codiene.
It gives me headaches and makes me vomit.

I found this out when I was prescribed it for consistent headaches and nausea.

(GERMANY) -- In Germany health officials have reported 365 new cases - 100 of which are serious – of a highly virulent form of an E.coli bacterial outbreak that continues to spread across Europe.

The outbreak, which is linked to contaminated vegetables, has killed 16 people and made more than 1,500 people sick in Germany, Sweden and other countries since it came to light in the middle of May.

Health officials expect many more sick people to flood hospitals and clinics with the bug in the coming days.

If you've a headache/vomiting, and they give you codeine after which you still have the headache/vomiting, how do you know if you're allergic to codeine, or it just didn't help?

I thought someone in Spain had a logical response: if Spain were the source of the disease, wouldn't there be outbreaks in Spain instead of just in Germany?

Not if the contaminated food came from lots/farms that specifically produce goods for export, not local use... if they even do that.

Are you trying to tell me cucumbers migrate?

Paracetamol is the same chemical as acetaminophen. Paracetamol is the name used in Australia, and I guess Britain. Acetominophin is used in the USA and Japan. Took me ages to grasp why I couldn't get parashietamoru, but could get this weird ashietominofuin. Took me even longer to figure out why they always put kaffuiin (caffiene) in with it. Turns out that's a pain killer too.

Sundae · 06-02-2011, 04:53 AM

Cases in Britain too.
But from Brits returning from Germany.

Bless the Spanish - it's not even worth arguing about.
British beef exports were banned for YEARS due to BSE, when it was prevalent in every country we were exporting to. They just hushed it up and blamed it all on us.

Indeed. Same with the US. Cases here from Americans returning from Germany.

I saw that last night - makes logical sense to me as well. I heard this am that women seem to be more susceptible to this strain than children.

Quote:

One of the mysteries about the outbreak of the particularly vicious strain of E. coli is that most of the victims have been women.

In most outbreaks, the victims are children because they have not developed the immune system to fight off the food poisoning - but in the German case, it is adults and female adults, in particular.

Scientists simply do not know why.

BBC

Interesting stuff

Maybe the bacteria is on the outside, and women are using the cucumbers for ... uh... other purposes.

I read that as "women are more susceptible to strain the children."

I need more coffee.
