Things that pee you off..

TV series that don't do their research properly.  Episode of 'Endeavour', body found, pathologist gives cause of death - overdose of Digitalis.  Then he says 'they don't call it deadly nightshade for nothing!' 

When I was studying poisons, Digitalis came from Foxgloves - now mainly replaced by the more refined form - Digoxin.

Deadly Nightshade gives us Atropine, Hyoscyomine and Scopolamine.

Wake up ITV !

Good heavens, Tabby.  So you are a professional poisoner?

Amazon order suppose to be coming tomorrow is now showing as coming today. I'll be out.

If I am expecting the delivery of a parcel (from Amazon or anyone else), I put up a notice in the porch window and leave the door unlocked.  The inner door remains locked of course.  Seems to work, even with Herpes/Evri.

I'm happy to keep it quiet, on one small condition.
I wonder whether you are free to deal with one small problem living just down the road from us.

Hmm - £2,000,000 in used fivers - and I'll think about it!

As long as it is not an animal.

Never seen that, Dex.  What happens when they count  ...  sleep?

Well, the murders were facilitated by the cunning act of placing poison on the corners of the pages of a "forbidden" religious text.  The monks who read it did that old fashioned thing of licking their fingers to turn the pages...you can figure out the rest.😉

Yes, I agree.  The Name of the Rose was an excellent film, with Sean Canary.
I've just checked and see that I have that on DVD.
Over the years, I have copied many films and other TV programmes and now have hundreds of discs to watch when there's nowt on t'telly.

(Over 850 discs, just done a quick count!)

850+. Crikey.  That'd see you out if you did a back to back binge.

I'll see your 850 and raise you 600!
