There's something in the water!

Today, across Belfast and, indeed, much of counties Antrim and Down, this sentence can legitimately be uttered. Tap water can only be consumed when boiled; all teeth must be brushed with bottled water or not at all. This minor inconvenience only reaffirms my belief that DS9's Quark was bang-on when he said that humans have an Olympic ability to cease decency when stripped off creature comforts.

Yes, I am aware that Quark was just a character on a(n underrated) fictional television show. Does that mean he can't be right? Does Alan Shearer command my respect? (No.)
