NotThePars Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 ? The Purple Heart isn't for bravery, it's for being wounded. Anyhoo. Jimmy Cricket, yes him, is a Papal Knight.

supermik Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Bill Gates has earned $3000 every minute since Microsoft was founded. That is $50 per second. If he stopped for 5 seconds to pick up a dropped $100 note it would be a waste of his time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 DJK had a massive sale start at 9am, spending £58 was saving me £172. Rather than quit whilst I was ahead I went back for another 1 item and fucked it. Lost everything. Spent £0 but feels like I've lost a fortune. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She remained silent as she dragged thousands of pounds worth of wine, beer and spirits from the budget supermarket’s shelves in Hertfordshire on Wednesday afternoon “A man told her to calm down so she threw a bottle of gin which hit him in the leg. “She must have smashed well over 500 bottles. “It was shocking and started getting incredibly dangerous 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
