I'm stuck uni without the will to pay for a Tv license, nor a TV tuner in my PC. Any willing to keep me posted on how it's going via ratz?

To believe is true religion, but to see is truth at last
Oh no, too late to hold a trial, time doesn't wait for the watchmaker's dial

I met this man yesterday, he had one eye and no trousers, and he said to me "get out of my house", which was very telling of the state of the country today.....

Yeah - Gordon is Nick's bum boy tonight.

Nick's won this one IMO. Gordon better than I expected. David exactly what I expected.

I feel sorry for the poor moderator. He's got quite a job on his hands.
