saying "in fall" in the UK won't kill you , but you might need to specify what colour grapes you'd like your hospital visitors to bring

I guess that I shouldn't visit some parts of England with a t-shirt with the emblem of a French football club (O.M.! O.M.! O.M.! O.M.!)

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

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

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

A small dose of arsenic will kill you, but a massive one will give you a headache
(and arsenic is often used for treating  horses >> hopefully not those going into lasagnas, thoughLOL)
 
 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

Massive dosage will kill you sure enough, a small dose will make you ill, prolonged small doses will kill you slowly.

Only if being glared at and subjected to people muttering under their breath can cause the painful and excruciating death that people are wishing upon you.

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 homeopathyConfused) 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)TongueLOL jk, of course

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. LOL

Just in case of legal action, I would like to point out that I like KFC Zinger Tower burgers and haven't died from one yet.

How  are the chips/fries in your local KFC? Ours are truly awful. Much worse than either McDonallds or Burger King.
