For every Spring there must be an autumn, for every snowflake, a sunbeam- for every death, a birth (unless loads of people die and no-one is born, like in Florida). In short, after a Friday night drinking binge, I should not [...] ...

Rapscallions! Jackanapes! 2007-12-02 06:10:16 Brace yourselves for some rather unpleasant news, I was pickpocketed at the weekend.
