I think you need a plumber.

Or some bleach.

I never noticed that before, but will take note next time I have a hangover food poisoning.

Maybe it's just me? Maybe I eat a lot of grease?

Bile

Bile is green. Have often wondered what that funny film is myself, it's gross.

beansmum · 23/05/2008 19:38

bile wouldn't be in your stomach would it? trying to remember A level biology...

Gah, thought I could bluff you all.

I am crapola at science, haven't a clue.

Hope you are feeling better (assuming you have recently been sick)

beansmum · 23/05/2008 19:43

Oh I'm fine. Just ate too much!

RiojaLover75 · 23/05/2008 19:45

If you're normally sick it's just the contents of your stomach that come up but if you keep being sick then bile does make an appearance. I speak from bitter experience (nasty incident when drinking beer and vermouth at 16, I didn't know any better not to mix!).

eww again.
