    Darling, when I was that age no man/boy got one over me!!! My motto was "move them in, bonk them and move them out" substitute bonk for a ruder word if preferred lol I was a right terror back then and the lads didn't stand a chance, now, several years later, several stone heavier and several more grey hairs later I can't be bothered :rotfl:

    Mine used to be 'rack 'em and stack 'em'!

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time

    Nowt wrong with being hazy - improves the deniability rate, if you can't remember doing it then you didn't do it
