    Can prepare a one match bonfire

    I just buy the local kids a load of petrol and have them drown the bonfire in it. Easy.

    Can negotiate airports with ease? Fallen at the first hurdle.

    Being a gentlemen would only slow me down anyway.

    I ticked 30 boxes. Well.... 29, and two halves. Im a squire at best. I can't train a rose, but I can chastise a daffodil.
