Thank you Bob for the correct response.Once upon a time many years ago I lived in a flat in a shared house, I had a frame with a seatpost stuck in it, someone who shall remain nameless gibbleking asked if they could have the seatpost, I said sure if you can get it out... I went to work, when I came back my frame had been chopped to bits and he stood there smiling with the seatpost in his hand... Needless to say I was not a f**king happy bunny...
Sorry, Kermit, didn't mean to laugh at you, just the foolishness of he who shall remain namelessThank you Bob for the correct response.
If it had been mine he would have been wearing the f***ing frame, blood would've been spilt.Thank you Bob for the correct response.
Believe me Bob it was a close run thing...If it had been mine he would have been wearing the f***ing frame, blood would've been spilt.
