The Gook strikes again!!!

A man in the UK has caught the world's "worst-ever" case of
super-gonorrhoea.
He had a regular partner in the Queen Mary parking lot, but picked up
the superbug after a sexual encounter with a shemale from South East
Asia.
Public Health England says it is the first time the infection cannot
be cured with first choice antibiotics.
Health officials are now tracing any other sexual partners of the man,
who has not been identified, in an attempt to contain the infection's
spread.
He picked up the infection earlier in the year.
The main antibiotic treatment - a combination of azithromycin and
ceftriaxone - has failed to treat the disease.
Dr Gwenda Hughes, from Public Health England, said: "This is the first
time a case has displayed such high-level resistance to both of these
drugs and to most other commonly used antibiotics."
Discussions with the World Health Organization and the European
Centres for Disease Control agree this is a world first.
