Nerds ....Jocks...who the fuck doesnt want to kick someone's arse.
And (more importantly) who DOESNT FUCKING deserve it! -

Damn there goes my book deal idea...
We should be able to discuss such broader issues
And learn from our mistakes. There are problems with our institutions, and not solely with the populace.
both motorways closed a combination of rain & high tide, Oh and the slowly sinking parts of the motorway all played a part.
