Yugoslavia going tits up did really double the number of European countries!

[dmlaw]

He was into fisting.

Nah, he'd seen Jay Aston coughing on the microphone.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Nah, he'd seen Jay Aston coughing on the microphone.

She wiped her arse with it as well. No stopping that one.

 

[octophone]

Nah, he'd seen Jay Aston coughing on the microphone.

If only he'd seen her copy of "Mein Kampf".

[Tetris-Rock]

Terry is so POSITIVE about these songs, it makes quite the difference

Even doing my nineties retrospective recently has been really surprising - Terry GENUINELY ENJOYING HIMSELF at points was a complete turn-up for the books.

Definitely still a horny old bastard but so much more palatable when not being a miserable cunt.

What do you all think of me?!

 

[dmlaw]

Ooh, Planxty. I like Planxty. Can I vote for them?

 

[lolly]

When you have to explain the interval act, you know it's going to be a load of old shite, don't you?

Those foxes are STILL going at it. If he spends any more time inside her she's going to have to start charging rent.

Who was it earlier that wanted a bit of Kate Bush?

Those foxes are STILL going at it. If he spends any more time inside her she's going to have to start charging rent.

Maybe he's KNOTTED inside her.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I may have to skip the scoring. I have an early hair appointment at Pets At Home.

[ButterTart]

Maybe he's KNOTTED inside her.

Oh God, I've seen that on YouTube. It seems like a fairly catastrophic design flaw.

 

[COB]

I thought you said ms. Cob was 62?
