Basically that's the story...Gilmore is the president of the Royal College of Surgeons, and has said that he sees more damage to drugs users as a result of the criminality of drugs than of the drug itself. I won't bother repeating the articles but read on, MacDuff:

no worries. me neither, but that's like saying "it's not tig, it's tag". different areas call it different things, cokey, pokey, tokey, okey, just depends on where you grew up i reckon. i'll keep calling it my way, you keep doin yours. no stress!


"The phrase is said to be a Puritan satire on the Latin “hoc est enim corpus meum”, or “this is my body”, used by Catholic priests to accompany the transubstantiation during mass. "
it was all in the news a couple of years ago cause of the "sectarian" singing of it at glasgw old firm matches.
