4 cans of “Galahad” lager for £2.15. Tastes like piss, so exactly like all lager.

Got in the lift this morning with a short feller of Indian extract. I was about to warn him that there was a spider climbing up the side of his face before I realised it was a stray bunch of hair poking out from underneath his Irish.

I’ll find out. Will help avoid looking too much like 8 Ace when I stroll in to pick up a couple of 4-packs.

Metallica winning Sweden's Polar Prize, which is a really prestigious award for music. The judges' citation said
"Through virtuoso ensemble playing and its use of extremely accelerated tempos, Metallica has taken rock music to places it had never been before. In Metallica's world, both a teenage bedroom and a concert hall can be transformed into a Valhalla."

I was just about to post this example, didn't realise you lived so near to us.

Last year I was driving through Rotherwick lane from Hartley Wespall to Rotherwick when I saw a car pulled up with hazard lights on and a woman stood in the road beside it, as it was pouring with rain I stopped to offer my help. At which point I found out that the lane was covered with frogs crossing and she was trying to herd them safely over. I don't she was happy when I said that I was going to drive through anyway.
