Or just have a crab in your spliced eye and choke the line. Gate outwards, like. I'm not mental. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Borrowed this setup from Dan McLennan. Seems to run really sweet, although it was a simple up-down up-down climb. Oak tomorrow without spikes should be more of a test. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

6? 4? I wasn't given a choice. I'm not registering as a contractor. If I use subbies I'll just pay them in cash and blowjobs. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Hahahahaha! Registered. They're not exactly a barrel of laughs at HMRC are they?

I'm with Joe on this, it's best not to rely on your keks too much at all.

At least Trump invented a new word Bigly. I like it, I think it will catch on.
