    Am living the life as trailer trash in Bavaria. Oh, and on the off chance that anything good happens in the UK still have a UK passport. I have a choice unlike the silly ****ers who voted leave.

    Enjoy your damp swamp.

    And that my dears is my curtain call.

    Dont get angry with your leaders Mordac they will send you to Siberia on a web scraping course for 10 years.

    (By the way shouldn't you have spelt Apparatchiks with a capital as it's a name?)
    Thanks for the tip. I wasn't sure, so I went for lower case, therefore I must cart myself off to the gulag for a fortnight or so. Do you think they'll let me watch the world cup?
