By which time it will have grown fur and evolved vertebrae 

Some effects of dioxin poisoning on our health

Blood and cardiovascular system Hyperlipidaemia; atherosclerosis
Endocrine system Type II diabetes; suppression of thyroid function
Nervous system Numbness of extremities
Immune system Immune system depression or increased susceptibility to infections; thymic atrophy
Reproductive system Endometriosis; decreased fertility; inability to maintain pregnancy; decreased testes size; reduced sperm counts; lowered testosterone
Development (children) Developmental delays; learning disabilities; behavioural problems; abnormal development of teeth

"Gastrointestinal system Abdominal pain; nausea and vomiting; altered liver function or fatty liver.

Nervous system Numbness of extremities"

I have those anyway - I blame Young's.


"Decreased fertility; inability to maintain pregnancy; reduced sperm counts."

Not too bothered about those bits!

I suspect a dose of the shits might have covered it.

The nice man from what used to be the Min of Ag & Fish (God knows what they are called this week) who was on the wireless news said one would need to ingest this stuff for 30 to 40 years at the dosage levels found to be likely to suffer any major effects.

A farm supplier who allegedly used stale bread still in plastic wrappings for animal feed is being investigated in connection with the dioxin alert in Irish pig meat, The Times has learnt.

Pork, bacon and ham labelled with the red, blue and white Quality Standard Mark logo and which also includes the Union Flag is a guarantee that the meat is British from farm to fork.

But isn't No'rn Ireland part of this British labelling?

This is all part of a Republican plot. Failing the "bombing the fvck out of us" working, they have now taken to infecting our staple foodstuffs. Roadside cafes and the entire construction industry may have fallen to their new tactics. Damn their eyes.

Bang goes the fry up! 

Wonder if Wenchy splashed out on a sausage?

Or vice versa.

My understanding is that is true. So why the panic?

Panic ~ moi?
