    Somehow this does not suprise me.

    It is rather sad that your sole ambition in life is to be the second highest poster on here
    But you don't have to worry. I have a life outside CUK

    Now talking of metal disorders you should ask yourself whether constantly saying that someone lives in bedsit (when you were made aware that this is not correct factually), or asking about totally unrelated personal subjects is a mental disorder - that's pretty likely actually but that's your personal problem that is of zero interest to me.

    I once kissed a girl when I was 8, but she punched me in the face. Since then my utterly inadequate social skills have prevented me interacting with real people so instead I talk to squirrels. So in answer to your question, no.

    No - but he's had a few squirrel 'friends' I bet!

    That's why the squirrels in Brum all have a slightly startled expression
