Toast

I keep getting that Ron Paul confused with Ru Paul

John 11:35

No one goes on for ever, though. (Apart from Clive, of course.)

Is this the final result? Guess we have a little while to wait before we can play again.

I thought this was fair enough but when I saw it was followed by I was a bit

Herman Wouk.

Well, I'd be sorry to see him go. Especially as I haven't picked him in any of my teams

Nah, I hate Christmas and all that. When I'm on my own I feel miserable and when I'm with people I wish they'd all fuck off and leave me alone. There's no pleasing me.
