And the thing is she would go around telling people that she takes great pride on how nice she is (because she would happily gossip about other people with just about anybody) or call other people stupid for little mistakes.



Yeah, here she is.
wow. I feel extremely fortunate right now, Audioque.

Can't forget here. I live in a cul-de-sac, the sound of neighbours rolling out their wheelie bins wakes me up every Thursday morning.....

Since our wheelie bins are picked up at 4:30am, we're compelled to get the bin out before settling in the for evening. One night I had forgotten to put it out but happened to be awake at 4:30. I could hear the rumble of the truck and dashed out just in time. Whew!

We're banned in my town from putting the wheelie bins out the night before collection. This is because some idiotic teenagers have been known to set them alight. Gotta get back for the second half of the football. England 1 Sweden 0. English Dave, News at Ten!!

Phew! The game is over. England 3 Sweden 2. Same old, same old. It's a wonder I don't have a heart attack watching my country play football. But they won....
