I've thought it would be good to celebrate the Orthodox Christmas instead of the Western one because you can get your presents cheap in the January sales This is why the Ethiopians didn't know it was Christmas Time. Because it wasn't. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FK1Bairn Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 A neighbour has recently started working as a private hire taxi driver. His taxi is parked in the shared car park and he's currently washing the wheels on a night when the temperatures are again to fall to -2/-3. What does he think is going to happen to the water left on the roadway? Same neighbour has 3 other cars - all his - parked in the car park. He's the only driver in his household 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gammons who expect some curated and witty individual exchange with them need to take a look at themselves. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
