She decided not to take it, as she and another friend of hers were hoping to do it together. Seeing as they didn't have two spots, she turned them down. Why do women have to do things in pairs?
No, I didn't because I didn't see your post until after the office there would all have all gone home and anyway as Martin's website now has about 500 billion eyeballs on it I didn't think there was much chance smeone else hadn't beaten me to it! But thanks again.Escaped from Barnet to freedom in the South-East!0 -

Wasn't sure if John Higgin's was standing as a candidate somewhere, and it was a sure fire one to back!! :cool:
Find a list of all the safe seats in the country and do an accumulator bet for £1.
Or, better still, if you're feeling super ambitious predict every constituencies result on an accumulator and, as put on the votenow show, everyone employed by William Hill would now be working for you and there would not be enough 00's for your bank account.0 -
