Good morning earthlings

What a cold day. Nuff said

Happy Birthday. Sorry I was late catching up. Well worth it

Rough as a broken bottle. Norovirus has been bloody awful. Weak as homeopathic medicine today. But need to move my shrinking arse into action. Can't imagine the amount of muscle mass my legs have lost in 8 days. I'm a dog walker. Need leg muscle 😁

Don't tell the wofey, but I've asked my youngest to buy me some, feel sorry for myself pot noodles

Day 3 of self diagnosed Norovirus. Feeling utterly sorry for myself.

I won't be around for ToxTueday, so you'll have to settle for ToxMonday, instead. Today, I'm posting an experiment I did about 5 years ago with my old lab for some "team building." So what did we do? Look for drugs on money, of course! What did we find? Lots, but you'll have to keep reading:

I fear submerging myself in a pool. Temperature wise. But give me a snorkel, sea and nearby fish. I'm in immediately. That's bonkers

Car horn pressing must be a national competition here in Dubai. It's the rage

I'm in Dubai. Been here 2 days. Done more now than I did in my last 2 Mexico holidays. Bloody son and his itinary list πŸ˜‚

Yesterday was mad. Fed and rode a camel in a desert 🏜. Had entertainment and food in a Bedouin (sp) encampment. Driving back, driver turned into F1 desert racing champion against fellow drivers. And no, not drunk or high on drugs.

Good to know

Sat in Newcastle International Airport eating a Greggs Sausage Roll and a coffee. How cosmopolitan of us.

What I love about poisons is where they take you: chemistry, biology, history...or maybe the emergency department or a shallow grave. For ToxTuesday, we'll talk about the neurotoxic, hiccup-inducing destroyer of kidneys, CARAMBOXIN, and its source that you're probably familiar with. So read on!

I don't usually post long threads this late in the day, but I have a ton of new followers I must entertain πŸ˜‚, so here's the tale of "When Mini Coopers Kill." It's a favorite of mine.

I know a lot of you feel like throwing up right about now, but fear not, I have a cure for your blues. It's funny and aptly named, which checks off a lot of boxes for me. It's none other than VOMITOXIN, the toxin that makes you, well, I'm sure you can figure it out. A thread:

First of all, I didn’t β€œattack your nana.” It was a sword fight

I know you're upset about the Tik-Tok ban, but I'm here to cheer you up! Did you know that some species of sea cucumber have ANAL TEETH? Why? To keep tiny pearl fish from swimming up their ass and setting up camp. Please use this newfound knowledge for good.

Mrs Scrawler cleaned out old veg from fridge yesterday. Gave me, amongst other stuff, a full turnip/swede for them. I've never seen them eat turnip before. Boy was I in for a surprise 24hrs later. Only have 6 hens.

I'm 52 and assumed possibly the latter. #EveryDayIsaLearningday

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT Sun is low Sun is bright Sun is blinding Please wear sunglasses when you drive. No one wants to see your orgasm face as you crash your car blinded. Trust me. Even with sunglasses it's bloody tricky today #Consett #dogwalker #safetytips

MAGA contains many idiots. I'm not saying all MAGA are idiots. That would be "racist"

Dr @forensictoxguy.bsky.social Have you dabbled in electroculture in the garden? I've personally not come across it before. I can see some people claiming it works. But jury is out with me. Claims such as not needing fertiliser, which sounds utterly bollocks

Snow, ice, mini thaw. Wind. More ice The joys of being a dog walker.

Happy Friday! I'm often asked what the "best" poison to die from is - i.e., quick and painless, and I'll save that for another time. But I'm sometimes asked what the "worst" poison is. And while there's no right answer, I almost always go with colchicine. A thread:
