You're poisoned..

[Man of Harveys]

Eek, the Russian government is a bloody scary one and no mistake. Although they've now DENIED poisoning someone - in London - who's criticised Putin a lot. Yeah, right...

How bad can this thallium stuff be? Worse than Carlsberg brewed in the UK? Or even Carling?!

I thought this was a Alice Cooper song thread...

(I'm not posting about the russian government for fear of retribution!)

I believe that journalist Anna Politkovskaya who was eventually shot dead also survived an earlier attempt to poison here, plus that other fella in the Ukraine. The whole place is just a lawless gangland.

No, I'm sorry, there is NOTHING worse than Carlsberg brewed in the UK.

Well, -canned- Carlsberg brewed in the UK is. I'm still convinced they just gave the UK brewery a licence to the name and not the receipe.

he isnt dead yet then?

No, he just feels like he's been STEPPEd on.

Saw on the news they give him a 50/50 chance of survival.

The chap speaking on his behalf said he looked like a person who had cancer and was undergoing chemo treatement, all his hair had fallen out and he was gaunt.


This isnt the first time a hit like this has occured in England.

The Umbrella Murder of Georgi Markov with Russian co-operation
was back in the 70's.

"On Monday, it emerged that a petrol bomb had been thrown at Mr Litvinenko's London house in October 2004, exploding and damaging the front of the property."

How can it be the perfect crime when even you know she did it?

Although I would normally agree wholeheartedly Carlsberg's Christmas beer that they are selling in Asda is a top notch pint. And at 5.6% it's strictly for grown ups

Is it not brewed in Denmark? Any of the non-general stuff here is imported from Copenhagen, only the standard draught or canned is done in Dundalk; I'd have thought it was the same in the UK.

She should never have told me.

It was the only way we could be together, with 'Comrade Bond' out of the way
