Police are searching for a man with curly hair, probably drunk and wearing an iluminous adidas track suit and an obscene amount of gold jewelry and stinking to high heaven of brut or old spice... If approached and asked 'ay are yoo luchen at me???' 'are ya startin??' Dial 911 immediately....... :p |

My accent in mostly Stoke but I do have a sprinkling of 'aampshrrr :confused:
I have been here for 3 years now and I have got used to speaking clearly and slowly to the cradles as repeating myself over and over again gets very frustrating. :banghead: |
