    Your wife is impressed with 90degrees?

    But she didn't understand!

      Your wives are very easily impressed it seems.

        I don't think she's plain. She's quite pretty but does her best to hide it.

        In my (not inconsiderable) experience, these blue-stocking types are real goers once you get them warmed up.

        You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
