msc 18,476 Posted September 1, 2017 Not to say I am heavily sleep deprived, but earlier I saw Spade's comment, but not YW's news post above. Not quite as astounding timing, then! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not quite as astounding timing, then! Rather strangely I did the exact same thing! Couldn't believe that someone had mentioned how ill he was a few hours before his death was announced......then saw the posts above Spade's...........

YoungWillz 21,055 Posted October 16, 2017 If someone's got cracking tits, I'd expect Bill Oddie to be shagging them... Meantime, is that sock dry yet? Meantime part two...we have to put up with a presence of Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross, the first of which never had a flame and the latter whose flame died in the mid-1990s...
