Something I seem to be doing much less as I get older and that's remembering.
Anything useful, worth-while, fun, joy, happy stuff? It fades with time. And at the end of the day, all I'm left with is a head full o' 5hit. life eh? Lol dangleflaps. mike hock indeed. Liddell, happy days eh? Lightly, and the haystacks of course. pure pantomime. Saturday morning pictures FOYLES, my mate's mum sat in a little box office selling the tickets. No sneaking in through the bogs for me. Have never tried tripe gravy 12. And all you other guys, brilliant thread. |
