Re: IS IT REALLY THAT BAD OUT THERE NOW THEN

With regard to the implied smutty innuendo I can...

Re: IS IT REALLY THAT BAD OUT THERE NOW THEN

A schooner's alot smaller than a pint. Seriously, these threads aren't made up from nothing. It's expensive here and the work situation for many is very difficult. Plus when you consider your UK...

Getting everything from M&S is nostalgic. A little like when my mum bought long lasting quality

Re: IS IT REALLY THAT BAD OUT THERE NOW THEN

Me too! Just ordered 300 quid worth of M&S goodies. Just a shame they don't send food and wine over here. Can't remember when I last bought anything other than food in Oz... All the Aussies we know...

Re: IS IT REALLY THAT BAD OUT THERE NOW THEN

Re: IS IT REALLY THAT BAD OUT THERE NOW THEN
