It’s time again for the World Cup qualifiers. Hoards of soccer fans from around the world will descend on Cardiff this September. You know how sometimes you get those advisory notices about travel to certain countries like: Don’t drink the water. Watch out for pickpockets. Don’t say you’re an American.
Most of which are very helpful. Some even have saved my bacon. Well, Russia’s Health Ministry has issued a public warning against travelling to Britain because of the spread of the H1N1 Swine Flu virus.
Typical Russian soccer fan? Cardiff welcomes you with open arms.
Undeterred Alexander Shprygin, head of the national team’s fan club offers this sage bit of medical wisdom, “We urge our fans to drink a lot of Welsh whisky as a form of disinfection. That should cure all symptoms of the disease.” He goes on to say, “Russian fans don’t fear anything or anybody so this virus will not stand in our way of supporting our team.”
Does this guy know how to party or what? All I’m saying is that, if I have to go some place where I might catch something (and I have) I need to find the nearest Russian and drink with him immediately. It just might save my life.
