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

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Difference between the WI and the masons, is that the WI don't shroud what they do in secrecy... because they don't need to. They just have to start talking about periods and childbirth and all men will clear off pretty quick...
Oh yes, and the Masons didn't slow handclap Blair.

Fook me.
Has Threaded's time machine gone wrong again and transported us all back to the nineteen seventies?
I will admit that I felt more than a little uncomfortable the first time that I met a transvestite. Playing the incident over in my mind again later I asked myself "exactly what was wrong with that?". I couldn't come up with a single answer so gave myself a
