Re: What the hell are EMO's?

:blink:

That would've included my two eldest then. Wouldn't much fancy the chances of the kids who tried to smack my 10 year old in the face (if they were of a similar age), he's called a...

Re: Need advice on school in U.K - psycho teacher

Re: Now then, who would try 'freebirthing?
