Vitamin C is water soluble, with dietary excesses not absorbed, and excesses in the blood rapidly excreted in the urine. It exhibits remarkably low toxicity. The LD50 (the dose that will kill 50% of a population) in rats is generally accepted to be 11.9 grams per kilogram of body weight when given by forced gavage (orally). The mechanism of death from such doses (1.2% of body weight, or 1.8 lbs for a 150 lb human) is unknown, but may be more mechanical than chemical

A client who has outstanding fees phoned me today, I really had to fight the urge tell them to phone back when they had paid their sodding bill.

i have one guy in particular who insists on really stingy tiny fixed fees, then calls me every 5 minutes and emails me 15 times a day. then he wonders why his bill is £3,500 not £350. but then if you ignore them, or say what you very rightly suggest, you are negligent!
