Seeing the 'Don't do it Carrie' video here

made me think....DOH!!!

Can we distill the homeoptahic question down to:

'If there is an effective prescribable dose of homeopathic remedies, why is there no apparent effective overdose?'

Apologies to anyone who has phrased it thus afore.

And the Yorkshire saying?

"There's funny peculiar and there's funny ha ha."

You decide!!
 
Depends to whom you address the question. To a scientist, homeopathy makes no sense because there is nothing there. To a woo-meister, the imagination runs riot with such phrases as balancing the energy of the body, kick starting the immune system, quantum etc.

The only interest for me is to find out why so many intelligent people are deluded and annoyingly, I may never find out. :(

You are in so much trouble now. But you knew that, didn't you?

A Yorkshire saying I'm famiiar with is "Everybody's queer [meaning strange or daft] but me and thee, and I'm not so sure about thee". Another is "There never was a Geordie 'till a Scotsman [mated with] a pig".

I remember a comedian reporting that he'd overheared "He's reet funny if laughing's your thing" and that does have a ring of truth about it.

Trouble I'm used to. I was born in Yorkshire, raised until 10 in Hampshire and ended up with a Southern accent in Blackburn for the 60s. The War of the Roses was insignificant to my battles :D
