The seafood was just the starter. I experienced the main course sometime later in Paradise Street.

#18. Not to worry Ivan, streptomycin long replaced penicillin. Who knows today maybe a herbal treatment, or on the other hand just a small operation of amputation. Cheers JS

Just browsing through my Blacks Medical Dictionary I noticed the aforementioned Streptomycin delivered horrendous side effects including vertigo,nausea,vomiting,sleeplessness etc. On balance I think i'd opt for Mr Ross's brolly.
