The Weather on TV will be a LOT shorter.

We will only have to wait 5 minutes for the weather girl to get round to us, instead of the usual 15 minutes, while they go all round the houses Scotland etc. Grin

We could maybe flatten something... Or would Cornwall like to be an island maybe?

FrankelandFilly · 19/09/2014 07:39

Owl, we could still do some remodelling, freshen the place up a bit.

Look, I'm please and all that but WTF am I going to do with a JCB, 17 cases of dynamite and 3 million shovels?

His mum took his boxers to the hotel in his bag while he was having his hair cut. So he wore nothing as a kilt is very warm

No! It needs half a jar if jam to make it edible

OwlCapone · 18/09/2014 23:03

Poridge = Healthy Wallpaper Paste.
