Hasn't stopped me drinking whiskey as an adult (or stopped it from making me stupid occasionally), but no-one can deny the appropriateness of the message.Psycho Milthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00779500926576047736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-64122249892915374732011-07-18T10:21:36.100+12:002011-07-18T10:21:36.100+12:00Billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles!

Airbags would be classified as a "nice-to-have".Seánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105226003936491432noreply@blogger.com
