How are the chips/fries in your local KFC? Ours are truly awful. Much worse than either McDonallds or Burger King. |
When I used to eat from KFC I noticed the chips were always stone bleed'n cold!!! >.<

Shouldn't there be some eating of said Mars bar in between 5 and 6, or is the mere sight of it enough? |

I saw a fight in our local KFC once caused by someone pushing in. I guess there's 2 potential ways of dying there - a fight or a KFC burger.

Massive dosage will kill you sure enough, a small dose will make you ill, prolonged small doses will kill you slowly. |
Not the way I heard it (never needed to check it out), but it seems weird enough that it works the other way, uh??
Despite my initial surprise, I was told otherwise by a pharmacist (not on the job then), so I never questioned it.
Just checked; if it is used in homeopathy (didn't know) , most likely small doses (daily? as often in homeopathy  ) won't kill you indeed... but we're talking of the Arsenic Album plant here, not the element...
But I suppose the Perfidious Albionites know more than me about arsenic poisoning (ie: Napoleon in St Helen)  jk, of course

It's all a question of dosage. Go on, get some digitalis and take the whole lot.

Of course

BTW, digitalis is not really a UK endemic plant... the whole continent has them >> I've even got some in my Dutch back yard (though not systematically at the same place every year >> it's not a perenial plant >> but it resseds itself quite easily) Some gardeners even plant them ornamentally, but it's not my case >> they just come and go... don't care much

There are still skinheads in UK? I was aware about right-wing hooligans, but I thought that Skinheads were a dead "culture".
