Little Johnnie's heart scare gave me a warm moment. Although he's not on my deathlist he is on my wishlist - perhaps a spin off site with Justin Bieber at the top of the list Well, we can all dream can't we.

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted March 8, 2015 I think we should just assume that everyone in public life is a peoedophile uinless proven otherwise And then lock up the lot, 'cause they can't prove they're innocent. Yes, that's progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SirC *shrugs* Think Vionic are quite a big company in the world of footwear, secretly I was more interested in the spousal steak knife aspect too! I would have used chiropodist, but there be niceties about descriptions. I've only ever heard of podiatry in non-UK contexts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
