    I'm still coming to terms with the quantity and quality of the crumpet. On 1st March the heating was turned off and it was like a chapel hat peg seller's convention. Except for the 'bouncer' who was evidently stealing Scammel wheel nuts. The next day they all came in in woollies, but the heating was on full blast, so they all had to strip off, in some cases to the t-shirt/vesty things some wear under their blouses / tops.

    And, occasionally, I get some work done.
    You are Threaded's sockpuppet and I claim my five brand new Lamboghini Gallardo(s?)!

    started a topic CUK observation

    CUK observation

    Of late there have been no threads about the economy, the stock market, doom, global doom, conspiracy theories, currency collapses, the new world order.

    And it's got to stop.

    Where's the doom? We've got some catching up to do.

Working...
