Damaging the infra orbital nerve in your face is worse, imagine having a bad tooth ache like pain constantly for over 5 years that no painkiller helps with (unless you want to be so smashed on them you barely know what day it is). It's faded a bit over the last couple of years but it almost drove m...

fucking off from FB & coming back to the fold. Have we got a 'how to lose 3 stone before Christmas' thread on here? I've achieved a personal best on 'You Fat Bastard' stakes, & that mostly over the last 11 weeks too. You know that news report about it not being bog roll shortages now, but it...

So I've had a lot of practise for isolation, which is a bit...

hey, hey

wotcha!

Gosh, isn't this so delightfully retro!
