    Can you still get Hot Lips and Meanies? I sent my dad to look for them when he was in Dublin on a business trip but said he couldn't find them. They're so nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,657 ✭✭✭trishw78

    Don't push your luck!!!

    What I object to is repeated use of "txt tlk". I will allow some exception. But if people are gonna use a flow of it in each post then obviously they are gonna get banned!!!

    Now run along and play kids!!!
