    It's very very old, it's not funny anymore, actually was it ever? You would be better off puting your ability to write into something constructive, this is immature and very pathetic. All you talk about is cock and shít, maybe there are some underlying issues you need looked at?


    My car is the best thing I ever bought, going to drive it until it falls apart too :)

    Eduardo, my Brazillian street kid. He does all the manual tasks around the house and lives off the scraps from my table, thus significantly reducing the amount I send to landfill.

    At the weekends, I rent him out to lonely cougars (Kiera, PM me for rates;))

    Anything made by Sony.

    They never let me down.

    I have dropped a TWO Trinitron TVs down stairs (don't ask) and both still worked.

    Sony walkman, never a bother, Sony Ericssons the same.

    Have a Vaio which I have also dropped a good few times and thumped once or twice as I cursed Bill Gates for inflicting Vista on the world, also never a problem.

    Now if only they made cars.
