I always always used to think that too but as i've got a little older prioritys (spl?) changed a hell of a lot mate and earning silly money etc
is just something i've lost interest in and having more time to myself to spend with people i want to not being paid to is far more important too

Right enough quotes but thanks to everyone for the good lucks and stuff i appreciate it

lets see if your still this happy and smiling in 6 months when your snowed in and you cant get a signal on the tv due to the weak signal from the postoffice/off licence/ launderette/cafe all in one arial mast

are they still pointing in the sky when the sun sets trying to figure out what that big glowing white circle made of cheese actually is and why it keeps growing back when people take a big bite out of it

cant beat the country folk,,,,,, we need them for proof we are actually decendents of monkeys
