Sadly not Iota. I was hiding in the other room as DH likes Heroes and it gives me nightmares so I can't watch it (shame I was quite enjoying it.)

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 05/12/2007 23:06

I love you Olivia! Can I have the camcorder now please?

Is that episodes of Heroes season 2 Kerry/Gibbon?

I've just watched the latest one shown in the US this evening - I can find out where DH got it from if you wish?

I'm talking about S American drug barons - you must be talking about the film company

Oh no, I know. But he isnt using that one - there were too many mixes with Spanish translation.

He has a different one

I think we need border control to address this issue.

People will be strip searched for rhubarb. Rhubarb is now, officially, a criminal offence.

The rhubarb sheds are an eerie place by candlelight and, if you are very quiet, you can actually hear the plants growing?

" During the Second World War the government controlled the price of Yorkshire forced rhubarb at one shilling per pound to keep it financially within the means of the ordinary people.
Rhubarb became part of the staple diet of war time Britain, and Yorkshire forced rhubarb became almost a national institution."

well I never

three times the price of opium

rhubarbs use was as a very important drug of the time, being used for a variety of ailments particularly gut, lung and liver problems.
Marco Polo is attributed in bringing the drug to Europe in the thirteenth century when it was referred to as the Rhacoma root.
The drug was so highly regarded and much sought after that in 1657 in England it could command three times the price of Opium.

much cheaper to make opium the national institition
