3 guys/gals who rule
3 Comments:
1. Washington would be a better place with 535 more introverts.
2. Why a "Do Not Resuscitate" wristband? Why not cut to the chase with a "Kill Me Now" wristband?
3. As long as they have a monopoly ...
4. The British government watches public spaces by camera. Does this mean Britain is run by terrorists?
5. Thank goodness not here!
6. Ireland still more addicted to alcohol?
7. No holy crack house?
8. How big is she? Does she wear carnival freak panties?
Being an introvert I identify with this....
I would have rung you man but didn't have a number. I rang Cynnie in Puorto Rico at 3 am our time. Unfortunately I was swimming in a heated outdoor pool in my mates back garden and dropped my phone. I think she thinks I drowned...which I may possibly have done and nobody's told me...
Always a pleasure to read and always puts me in a good mood! Best wishes for 2008 and I hope that the madness continues so that I have more to read.
