So Bony scores twice against us after not scoring for months and Joe Allen has a fine game. The Swans fans fuming.

I want a Pickup - Maybe a Ford Ranger. At my age I think I'm allowed :)

Don't forget to Hug a Hoody :)

I do have fire alarms it's just the CO one that expired with me. If I said I didn't I'd be able to tell straight away they were real by the look of horror and following lecture (and they're right of course)..

Not our STD though - other ladybirds

"If you are concerned, you can telephone your local Fire and Rescue Service to check they are genuine. You will not be asked for any money, so be aware of callers offering to carry out the above for a small charge, they will be bogus." http://www.fireservice.co.uk/safety/hfsc They do home visits - I'd still just say I don't have any smoke alarms and look at their eyes.

Everyone, but no-one admits to it ;)

There comes a time if you drink enough (15 pints maybe) where you can't make a reasoned decision, been there and been attacked in that state - and you've lost the reasoning to get yourself out of it. Alcohol is a terrible drug. By the way - when this happened I've never seen the Police so angry when I said my memory (which was there on morphine) had gone - so you've decided to let these people get away with it - I just said yes and so should that girl to be honest).

A few years back I remember there was a girl doing comedy in The Plough. She was making a terrible joke about a washing machine and even the bar staff were booing - you just had to laugh. I think she was making it so bad it was good :)

If comedy was bad you used to be able to laugh at the heckling. Do we have none of that now ?

People saying on forums that Donald Tusk has now said article 50 is reversible. 1. Invoke it. 2. Brexiteers fail miserably in negotiations. 3. Brexiteers sacked. 4. Reverse it.

When Southern or Thameslink trains are on time (or only 2 or 3 minutes late), I feel blessed.

Well the Jacky Jumper was almost designed to throw at a group of rival children (and yes it was horrible and we had no concept of safety or danger)

Red Alert on stocks issued by HSBC (just from statistical analysis I think) http://uk.businessinsider.com/hsbc-red-alert-get-ready-for-a-severe-fall-in-the-stock-market-2016-10 Not related to Brexit but it won't help.

It?s a nice, different way of doing it." Well it's the boys who give me freebies ;)

They give me a free one in Holborn about once a week BBC claimed they give freebies to young attractive people - I've disproved that :) Edit: I'm pretty sure it's not random

Donald Tusk said it's Hard Brexit or No Brexit. Not sure he should even try analysing Boris. "To all who believe in it, I propose a simple experiment. Buy a cake, eat it, and see if it is still there on the plate. "The brutal truth is that Brexit will be a loss for all of us. There will be no cakes on the table. For anyone. There will be only salt and vinegar." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-37650077

It wouldn't even occur to me that they were going to attack - I'd just think boys being childish.

I'll look out for the immaculate hair (maybe he uses hair spray) :) No helmet says something really.
