I realized this morning that I am coming down with an unseasonable cold - sore throat, photosensitivity, massive sneezing, stuffy nose, headache etc. Thing is, I have a really hot date with five Northern Irish firefighters this coming Tuesday at the Wiesn and I don't want to disappoint them (most of all, I have the vouchers). Can I justify going to the Wiesn while contagious and risk causing an epidemic, or should I stay at home and let someone else take my place?

This is actually a serious dilemma as I generally end up with some kind of cold after going to the Wiesn due to badly washed Maßkrüge infested with virus and bacteria.

I think you answered your own question Load up on the OJ and think healthy thoughts Of all the masses and Maß's I think a lot of people are going sick and a lot of people are leaving sick...

^{DON'T MISS THE IRISH FIREFIGHTERS!!!}

Do it, let the beer make you forget you have a cold.

I feel bloody dreadful but will be there on monday for our works do. Stiff upper lip and all that.

Five days between now and Tuesday - I don't think you'll still be contagious.

Errrrrrm, miss sliding down a firemans pole and seeing if they can handle their hoses?

NEIN NEIN NEIN !!!

OJ, de-congestant, hot whiskey are your friends.

3 years ago,I went to the Wiesn with a bad cold, I had visitors so I had to go, it was awful. My temperature went up and down like a yo-yo, and the smokey atmosphere meant I could hardly breathe. I then spent the next week off work because I was so ill. It was so bad that I actually went to the doctors, even though I knew he probably could do nothing. I've never been so unwell in all my life.

Maybe true Mr A but if you had been with a hunky fireman you'd have been OK cos they all know first aid and shizzle.

You'll be fine.

Told you so.

We got pretty wet last year.

So the TT docs are giving me the ok. Suppose I'll have to risk it then.

This thread is crying out for hunky fireman photos isn't it.

If there's any ministering to the sick to be done, I prefer a pretty little (female) nurse!

Go and have fun, Sara, but you'll have to figure that you will be really sick afterwards...

This should be in the "Corrupt wishes" thread!

Granted, you have a hunky firefighter but are too feverish and dizzy to shag him senseless.

Go down and meet them cos you have the tickets. If they are indeed hunky then stay and go to bed later with some hot totty. If they arent cute then go home to bed with a hot toddy!

as much as you are looking forward to it, I don't advise it, you spread your germs to everyone there, the maß glasses are never washed that good, the tents are warm and no air circulation... perfect breeding ground for colds to spread. Now, I know why people always leave with the 'Fest Cold'.

Cos someone openend the doors and there was a draught!

So thats why they close the doors all the time...and they made us all believe they closed because of too many people inside

I've been sick as hell for the last week (as can be seen by my frequency of posts this week)...and would find it just fucking evil to go to the fest knowing you're spreading it.

It's not like it's a 2-day thing, wait til you're well...then go. It's just not worth it for you to ruin everyone's fun.

Um, I think you should not go and have someone else escort them to the Wiesn. I'll be in town and willing to sacrifice my Tuesday night dinner with 20 tax attorneys, saint that I am.
