I'm gonna bookmark this thread - it's a perfect three-act drama with a beginning,

middle, and end; hero and anti-hero; proper characters; plot twists; the fecking lot!



Top stuff. Meanwhile, how come /links continues to be such a lovely little niche

without ever seeming to lurch towards corruption á la bigger sites such as Digg

and Reddit? Long may it stay this way.



Oh, and Axel you're obviously a complete and utter cunt-tard ... but apology

The process to apply a faux patch of hair on and around various body parts( such as the face, chest and genitalia) by pre-pubescent boys and girls in order to make themselves appear older than their actual age.

I will endeavour to remember the brand "Paddy Power" as that one that I have no idea what it does, but has a shit advert and therefore must be avoided, and if anyone mentions them I will tell people they are shit.
