I'm sorry, but once you hit twenty you're over the hill and don't know anything any more.

The community was pissed at the police. They had to apologise and Ozomatli played a city council meeting!
If you can get away with saying you're in a band, ANY band, you're cool. Oi young bloke -- I've forgotten your name already, old aged senility -- could you pass for a member of Goldie Lookin Chain?

Some of us prefer the likes of The Vines .... The Frames ... Biffy Clyro .... to some over the hill bald homosexual...
But just to be on " topic" for a short time .......... I did find that women for some unkown reason in the USA loved the Wigan accent ..... strange but true .... ok back to "off topic"

Who the ****?
Oh and as far as birds and accents go, the accent will get you a foot in the door...you need to have a few more credentials after that. I've had my foot in a few doors, but had to remove it when the wife came along

Whose pants were unspeakably tight
When poor Reggie would move
They'd get stuck in the groove
Now Reg sings falsetto all night!!
