I've told you via PM. I don't do foreigners. The disabled. Those without degrees. Ginger people. Short people. Tall People. Fat People. Stupid people. Clever people. People who play Ukeleles. People who post on CUK. Ugly people. Men. Married women. Anyone older than my age - 15 years. Anyone with a partner. Anyone with a mental disability. Anyone who doesnt just say yes.Originally posted by AtW View PostWhat's happening to your role?
