Anubis the Jackal 76 Posted November 29, 2006 That'll be the Guinness then. Got a touch of that this morning myself. 'Paddys Revenge' I think it's called. Former Russian Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar had a sudden and mysterious illness last week, while visiting Dublin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,469 Posted November 30, 2006 Former Russian PM 'was poisoned' Doctors treating former Russian Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar, who is gravely ill, believe he was poisoned, an aide said. "Doctors don't see a natural reason for the poisoning and they have not been able to detect any natural substance known to them" in Gaidar's body, spokesman Valery Natarov said. "So obviously we're talking about poisoning (and) it was not natural poisoning." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M.Lawrenson 11 Posted November 30, 2006 I don't have a job at the moment, but I've decided on a new career. I'm going to move to St. Petersburg and start up a Polonium-210 production lab. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,288 Posted December 1, 2006 I don't have a job at the moment, but I've decided on a new career. I'm going to move to St. Petersburg and start up a Polonium-210 production lab. Can't you produce it in Newcastle Under Lyme? Local councils are all in favour of innovative commercial enterprises. A bit of googling tells me that the local economic regeneration service, will be happy to help point you in the right direction.

After all, I did A Level Chemistry at Newcastle Under Lyme College. Demand for Po-210 seems to be higher in Russia, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, I stayed in Newcastle Under Lyme last summer for a softball tournament. No offense, but what a shithole. One night we amused ourselves sitting in the pub across from The 80's Bar and commenting on the dreadful fashion decisions on display, mostly committed by the fair maidens of the town.

Cowboy Ronnie 77 Posted December 5, 2006 Eggageration is so overated these days. Well Banshees, while a point could be deducted for spelling, full marks for the sentiment. Nowadays, any time anyone feeling paranoid that someone in Mother Russia is out to get them comes down with a sniffle, the first reaction appears to be, "Radiation poisoning! I'm going to die!" until they get better three days later. Scare-a-monger was the same, claiming he had received five times the dosage of baloneyum needed to kill him: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2d9df162-83c6-11db...00779e2340.html The whole lot of 'em are right up there with professional footballers in terms of pretending to be injured when they really aren't.

Entropy 5 Posted December 6, 2006 Doctors have yet to reveal their diagnosis, but have said his internal organs suffered "radical changes." What on earth? Is this a polite way of referring to pancreatitis and liver cirrhosis brought on by too much drinking? Or are they saying he's just grown a third lung or what in the world are they on about? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
