RE: Traces of polonuim210 found at Hey Jo Club I dont want to startle the nation, but guess what? I found traces of Polonium 210 in my fridge! As shocking as that is, when I took the time to research this substance, I discovered that Po-210 occurs naturally in many everyday food items. Particularly broad leafed vegetables. The horror! Quick! Buy yourselves white suits and respirators! Panic! Run for the hills! This post replies to this thread |

RE: Traces of polonuim210 found at Hey Jo Club From they guys who brought us the Gay Bomb, designed to rid the world of another of Adolf's pet hates, why not the Fag Bomb. It all goes back to Project Janus, an attempt by evil BAT to reduce the carcinogenetic elements in cigarettes http://www.health.gov.bc.ca/guildford/pdf/125/00012588.pdf . They bunged in a bit of Bismuth 209. As everyone knows all that is then needed is a simple neutron source aimed at the smoker to turn the Bi 209 into Bi 210 which decays into …. Po 210. Totally unrelated, FN Herstal uses bismuth in the projectiles for their FN 303 less-lethal riot gun. This post replies to kevin o'connor > RE: Traces of polonuim210 found at Hey Jo Club |

RE: Traces of polonuim210 found at Hey Jo Club hmm not bad- i have an idea to create a new weapon to gas insurgents from planes using a bunch of cigarettes releasing gasses. What would be the result I wonder? Perhaps CRUK could answer that lol! This post replies to Iain Page > RE: Traces of polonuim210 found at Hey Jo Club |

RE: Traces of polonuim210 found at Hey Jo Club The cynical amongst may well conclude this to be an attempt to affect the Hey Jo's trade, after all with the dozens of smokers in the club it's rather making the council look silly.

RE: Traces of polonuim210 found at Hey Jo Club This is a very interesting article from a pro smoking ban, cigarette hater. http://www.slate.com/id/2172230/ Just one extract: Nonsmoking areas in restaurants haven't worked too well. The smoke just drifts from one area to the other. To fix this, European countries are now isolating smokers in sealed rooms with separate ventilation . Lest any waitress encounter a toxic cloud, Holland, Slovenia, and other countries have outlawed eating in the smoking rooms . That's pretty harsh. I thought we were trying to remove smoke from eaters, not food from smokers. This post replies to Robert Feal-Martinez > RE: Traces of polonuim210 found at Hey Jo Club |

RE: Traces of polonuim210 found at Hey Jo Club Seems the classic ASH tactic from the Independent, they are certainly out to besmirch Dave West, having met the guy however he will just see the article as good publicity. After all he could buy the journalist a few million times over. http://news.independent.co.uk/people/profiles/article2864770.ece This post replies to Robert Feal-Martinez > RE: Traces of polonuim210 found at Hey Jo Club |

RE: Traces of polonuim210 found at Hey Jo Club You Couldn't make it up. A council takes one of it's own employees to court for smoking in a council vehilce and then had to throw the case out because the vehilcle didn't have the statutory no smoking signs. A FIFE Council employee has won his appeal against a smoking penalty he was issued with five months ago.
Kirkcaldy man Scott Lauder, who works as a technician for Kirkland High School, was spotted smoking in a school minibus by council enforcement officer John Wallace on Standing Stane Road in March.
Mr Lauder received a £30 fine which he decided to contest on the grounds that there was no no- smoking signage in the vehicle he was driving and he had not been adequately informed of the policy by the local authority. http://www.thecourier.co.uk/output/2007/08/09/newsstory10108577t0.asp This post replies to Robert Feal-Martinez > RE: Traces of polonuim210 found at Hey Jo Club |

RE: Traces of polonuim210 found at Hey Jo Club Surely the Fife Council should have taken itself to court for not showing the correct signage! This post replies to this thread |

RE: Traces of polonuim210 found at Hey Jo Club Don't forget Chris that not posting no smoking signs was not a "crime" 5 months ago and they would have only made the smoker liable within the by-law. The reporter must have been confusing the law today and the council by-law then
