    Cue comments about things that make you go blind.
    I noticed something odd with your vision at the meet as well but put it down to your squinty bog eyes and comically bulbous red nose.... me and original PM we sat on the opposite side you but either end of the bench and neither of us knew who you were talking to. Matt sitting in front of you thought you'd not noticed he was there all night.

      when they did the physical and they looked down there, the surgeon took pity on him. Apparently doubling its length was easy they had a spare half inch in the spares bucket!

              Coronavirus cases have hospitals only for them. Other patients are strictly segregated.

              But this surgery and after care is all done at a specialist eye clinic. So I should be fine on that front. And no, I'm not going to lend you £20.
              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                      Many TED broadcasts the audio is enough and of course you can get projector so a 10ft screen is possible.
