So where's the bloody K then?

It's in the middle of "truculent", that's where it bloody is!

Why isn't the bleeding K in my karma account? Eh? Eh?

Incoming gratefully acknowledged from several Kwaters.

Thing is I need a bit more to reach a half million points.

I desperately want to start a thread in Canniversary called "500,000K in Canada".

Glad you were ok
Add some runners to that list too, especially at this time of the year.

<4 Bells> , hope you are doing better though? I'll get some chiropractice checks done while you are at it, just to make sure everything is tikiti boo

I can't do any of those and I don't have a gammy knee to blame it on!

No, I didn't! Did you know that Boris Bikes are manufactured by a company in Montreal (that supplies city bikes to Montreal and Toronto)?! It's becoming quite the thing. Perhaps once the Chinese are all vehicled up, they can start buying bikes too (the irony!).

Oops, didn't see the word "when".... You ought to know Oink.
