Wee Wee?  Makes former Michigan gubernatorial candidate Dick Headlee sound like John Doe.  She seriously walked around with that goddamn name?

Norton's Anthology is a double edition massive collection of English literature so heavy to carry, that, if aimed correctly, it can wind a drunk wielding a broken bottle so significantly that you can sod off down the street before they get back up.  Or so I hear.

[Sir Creep 7,013]

Ha yes, Norton's gdamn Anthology.  I do know it well.   We need the Nortons Spade mentioned to drop over, and what with two of them late 80s, could happen.

Looked the name 'Brezhnev' up before posting.  The last entry was November 2017.  Yes, I see it was posted in the Dead Commies thread without the surname.

Katie Price reveals her mum hasn’t got long. I never know how much “drama” is added to comments from these fame hungry types so I always take with a pinch of salt. Although I also thought the same about the drama behind Jade Goody............

When not too busy grieving for mum, Katie runs around topless.
