Lets hear a good word for germs

I don't quite know how to do this without breaking some law, or turning into an amoral plagarist. I will probably become a perpetual target for the world's most cantankerous columnist (AA Gill) or his irascibile publisher, Murdoch. But this is too good not to share with you. I found it in the Times, and immediately poured some draino down the sink.
Reviewing some restaurant or tother, Gill went off into one of his rants: "People are obsessed with disinfecting their kitchens. People in my house. Personally, I’m much more worried about bleach than I am about scallops. I’d rather you peed on my chopping board than wiped it down with peroxide. By the way, wee-wee is a natural disinfectant and biologically neutral. It’s perfectly okay to wipe down the breakfast bar with a damp nappy. My cleaning bottle also says that 74% of doctors agree that this spermicide eyedrop kills 99.9% of germs. I’m sorry, but that means 26% don’t agree. What if the 74% were all those doctors who were traffic wardens in Lagos and did a correspondence course and answer the phones when everyone else is on holiday and tell mothers that meningitis is gout. And what if the 26% (one in four) are all Harley Street consultants and Nobel prize-winners, and think it’s a load of bollocks? I wouldn’t get on a plane that only 74% of pilots thought was going to land. A well-run, healthy — as opposed to antiseptic — kitchen should be a great reserve of fungus, bacteria and decomposition. We need it for vinegar and bread, cheese and yoghurt, all meat and game, wine and beer. Kitchens should be living, breeding, suppurating places. "
If you really want to go and read the rest of his column, and scan the ads on the Times web page, here's the connection:
